You're not mixing enough grain neutral spirits in with the pharmaceuticals. That's a necessary component that far too many neglect. Read the label next time. Oh - and move out of the South. That'll help too. 8 months of unrelenting snow and 4 degree temps kills germs. (And the feeble, so get better BEFORE you charter the U-Haul.)

Man, I worked on that saying forever. Fuck you Uncle Bob. You just don't know what it takes to truely "Git-R-done".

Representing the "north", I am happy to report that I NEVER hear anyone saying Git R Done. I HAVE seen it put on the occasional pickup truck rear window, but we are pretty much Git R Done free. To tell the truth, I never knew what the hell they were referring to. We're mostly too cold to be rednecks.

UB-- ahhh the nyquil stuff... it knocks you out, but then the psuedoephedrine takes over, and once you're awake... you're awake. I hate the stuff for that since it typically hits me at 3am, then I'm screwed. go to the doctor for anti-biotics.

Danger has it righgt. Mix in a little hot toddy, or a hot buttered rum with all of the that cold medicine, and make sure you haven't made any freaking plans and nap for 18-20 hours.

Iowa seems to be Git R Done clear as well. Also the new, improved, can't-make-meth-with-it formulation of Nyquil doesn't have pseudoephedrine in it. Jury's still out on whether it works as well.

Oh, how I hate Larry the Cable Guy and Comedy Central's whole "Blue Collar TV" thing. But when I hear someone say "git-r-done" it actually doubles as a public service announcement letting me know I should back away slowly, before my brain cells begin evaporating. Are you familiar with David Cross? He has a hilarious open letter to Larry on his website: http://www.bobanddavid.com/david.asp?artID=183.

UB, I also live in the Deeeeep South (i.e. - Alabama), and I am happy to report that the only time I hear Git-R-Done is when someone is making fun of the "Git-R-Done" crowd. But no Southern boy tears Larry the Cable Guy a new one better than David Cross - read his opinion at http://www.bobanddavid.com/david.asp?artID=183

Well, elle-marie, apparently great minds DO think alike.

Never heard Git-it-done here either, but if I did, my comeback would be Want-it-Done? Do-it-yerself!

I want to bury a claw hammer into that fucking redneck's cranium and empty his bank account into my stippers-and-cocaine-for-everybody fund.

Dear Larry the Cable Guy, You don't know how to spell "truly." Work more on your spelling and less on rednecked, idiotic catchphrases that no one cares about. Thanks!
-------------------------------
Larry the Cable Guy - 2006-02-20 10:46:09
I don't care about spelling UB, I just Git-R-done.
-------------------------------
April Ann - 2006-02-20 10:46:48
Yep. Git-R-Done is the hillbilly version of "I'm Rick James, bitch!" I suppose the saying would apply. "You're not Dave Chapelle (or Larry the Cable Guy), and you're not funny."

Get well soon!

I live in New Yawk. We say fuhgeddaboutit. And guess what? That's annoying too.

Lisha - 2006-02-20 20:34:11
Amen. I'm so sick and tired of Buster with a mullet screaming that at the top of their lungs in every venue in Memphis. It's like those fools that incessantly utter 'ditto' after everyone else's good points only - git-r-done NEVER follows a good point. You might have enjoyed the Lita Ford look-a-like belting out Guns-n-Roses tunes at karaoke night the other night... she screamed out a hair-raising woooohoooOOOOOO! after every refrain. Just face it. The south is. Fun.

I once was watching golf on television for the two seconds that it manages to keep my attention and after the golfer it the ball someone yelled "Git R Done"....I proceeded to throw the remote control across the room in a fit of anger...then realized what I had done.... Also I recently saw a billboard in my hometown(which is in northern alabama) for some type of veterinary something or other that had a dog on it and simply said "Git R Spade"....

I have never aggreed with you more and was actual shocked that someone else hates that saying as much as I. Sadly, I work for a large corp company that has stolen that damn phrase and is now using it to inspire us on a regular basis. We even get "Git R Done" crap that we must wear. It's overwhelming annoying and almost embarrassing to be involved with. I live in colorado far enough from the south that we should be GRD free.

Larry the Cable Guy" (Dan Whitney) grew up in Nebraska where he attended private school. So next time you hear his schtick, remember that it is actually a well educated and well spoken Mid-Westerner underneath that tattered wife-beater and grungy ballcap.

I love how you start off by saying "Hey You.", like you really know the person personally... But then again it could be you forgot their name. None the less. It was cute.

Her-story - 2006-02-21 15:53:43
You have to be careful, THIS is how Chris Penn died... mixing his drugs... antibiotics and some cough meds or so they SAY. AND, by the way, the kids at the local h.s. say "Git HER done." I agree, the whole redneck thing is way overrated.

When I was at home for Thanksgiving, home being in Southern Illinois, right in the same town that was recorded pretty accurately by the movie, "Poor White Trash"; a another visiting cousin asked a local family friend if he ever watched the Blue Coller comedy stuff on Comedy Central. The answer? "Do I watch it? He-ill no. I have to live it. Why do you think I'm so stupid I have to watch watch it, too?" Awesome.

Being a karaoke man, perhaps you'll feel my pain as we no doubt are forced to endure some of the same brand of stupid. I'm a country music dj, see, (Shutup. I get paid a lot.) and I taste bile every time I hear Trace Adkins' latest lame-ass, redneckity grab at pop-culture-catchy. I've found that I want to inflict pain on the assclowns who call up to request the travesty, for two reasons: 1.) They like it. and 2.) The hicks invariably ask for "Honkytonk BadonkYdonk". Not that the actual title, Honkytonk Badonkadonk, is any better. I f**king hate it, and I refuse to say it. EVER. Trace should be beaten with a big bag of dead Larry for that shit. Thank you for allowing me to vent, Unc. You're the best.

I have two words for you UB:

WALKING PNEUMONIA

Please, Please, PLEASE listen to The Boy and me and get some anti-biotics before you get DEAD. Forget that over-the-counter crap (except the 'tussin)!

sweatsuithaven - 2006-02-26 06:46:56
omg, MyraMains I am soooooooooooooo sorry that you have to hear that song over and over again. Really. And, indeed, Trace Adkins *should* be beaten severely. My favorite Trace Adkins faux-song is the Cletus T Judd "Every Light in the House is Blown". Not that anyone asked. MyraMains, as a country music karaoke DJ, perhaps you can answer this: Why is there ALWAYS some douche who thinks they can sing 'Shameless'? There are wayy too many people who just mercilessly butcher Garth Brooks. (And Frank Sinatra, but I digress.) Oh, and that David Cross blog is the funniest shit EVER.

I'm a construction worker in GA. YIKES! Nonstop Git-R-Dones! All day long I listen to these toothless, smelly burnouts parroting that stupid phrase at one another. They can pass that one phrase around (with varying inflection, of course) as though they were carrying on a meaningful conversation. It is definitely time for a new joke.
