Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 No, Buddy. That's not a a phrase that's common to anyone, it's a phrase that sprang to the mind of this Kentucky woman.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 YES! " Holy Bats--t! " is the usual phrase. I didn't want to say s--t on the post, so " beans " sprang to my mind. Good grief, my sweet surfers -- I'm more than happy to say Bats--t if you'd rather............. Joyce (Dr Gross, LHR) sungold518@...
