Hello World!
October 17th, 2007
Welcome to The Salty Peanut Gallery. This is my first post. Been thinking about starting my own blog for sometime now. My wife isn’t real crazy about it. She thinks I spend too much time on the computer as it is. She’s probably right. Let’s not tell her. It’ll be our little secret…
So why The Salty Peanut Gallery you might ask?
Number one, I happen to like salty peanuts. They’ve become one of my favorite snack foods. But obviously there’s a deeper thought in mind (if that’s possible coming from my mind).
Salt is a metaphor used by the Lord to describe believers in Christ. “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men” – Matthew 5:13
The word salty is also used to describe remarks that are sharp, witty, and mentally stimulating. It is my hope that those who visit this blog would find it in some way thought provoking or at the very least entertaining.
Wikipedia defines a peanut gallery as “an audience which heckles the performer. The term originated in the days of vaudeville as a nickname for the cheapest (and therefore rowdiest) seats in the theater; the cheapest snack served at the theater would often be peanuts, which the patrons would sometimes throw at the performers on stage to signify their disapproval.” Today it is a term used figuratively to describe people whose criticisms are regarded as irrelevant or insignificant.
Everyone has an opinion and anyone is free to express there’s as long as it is moral and in good taste. Relevancy is optional.
So, what do you think?

But the difference is, he’s DON, he’s probably not going say stupid things; at least not nearly as often as you do!

Hey, I said relevancy was optional. Knock yourself out. And by the way, you are officially tied for the top commenter status. Congratulations, and thank you for playing.

YeeeeeeeeHAWWWW! Now, finally, I can get back at Don when HE says something stupid, just like he jumps my case when I say stupid things over at my blog. I can hardly wait! Go ahead, Don, say something stuuuupid and MAKE MY DAY!!!!

Boys, Boys!
I’ve known Don longer than either of you, since of course, I;m his little sis. Sorry to disappoint you, Byrony, but you should know by now Don never says stupid things. However, there was the time he was leading the congregation in “Crown Him Lord of All”. He was cueing the congregation for the next verse and boldly shouted,”Oh that with yonder sacred thong!” To this day, the sound technician, and choir members who still remember, can’t sing that song with a straight face. Sorry, big bro, but you did say “anything”.

Now a Blog I can endorse,(is Byron wondering). Paul if you ever need dirt on either of them, do I have some. See Don and Byron both think I am OLD, but they on losing ground and hair daily, whereas I still have as much hair as I did 30 years ago.

Welcome, Ed. Glad to have your endorsement.
Actually, Jean, Byron knows I say stupid stuff all the time. That’s why he can hardly wait to catch me.
By the way, the hymn was “All Hail the Power of Jesus Name”. And the word “thr-rong” evermore will be a two syllable word.
