It probably also won't surprise anyone that it rained on and off for a lot of the day. It obviously wasn't on the scale of places like Dublin, but the kids in the parade seemed to be having a good time despite the weather. After that, we saw a genuine old-fashioned flea circus! Hopefully the weather will be better tomorrow so that I can go on the Ferris wheel and antique carousel. I bet you are the biggest redneck in Ireland!

There are 3 reasons you watch Beverly Hillbillies. 1) Ellie May lays out beside the cement pond in her one piece bathing suit 2) You think Miss Hathaway a hottie 3) You hope Granny will slip up and reveal her recipe to her rheumatiz medicine.

I saw one the other night, where Jed wished Mr. Drysdale a Happy Groundhog Day and Ms. Hathaway said...." But Chief....Ground Hog's Day is in February!" Drysdale said, " Ms. Hathaway, when a man like Jed Clampett has $ 85 million dollars in your bank and he says it's Ground Hog's Day......IT'S GROUND HOG'S DAY!! LOL!

When I was a kid we were so poor that when my dad came home and opened the door and said "Happy Groundhog Day" that meant he had either shot one or trapped one and we were fixin' to eat good.

I wonder if they were consistent with that 85 million number. I also wonder what 85 million in 1962 dollars would be today. He wasn't the equivalent of a billionaire but it was pretty impressive.

Hobie Hartkins Posted Friday at 06:51 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 06:51 PM 848 million, 690 thousand one hundred sixty six dollars and 28 cents. No they weren't consistent. Sometimes he was worth 35 million etc. $ 848,690,166.28 Skipper Duke and RogerDuke 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerDuke Posted Saturday at 04:00 PM Author Report Share Posted Saturday at 04:00 PM I wonder if the change of numbers was just something they weren't paying attention to or was intentional. If he started out with 35 and went to 85 that would make sense. If he went from 85 to 35 then something bad was going on...since there were no major financial crises in that era. Maybe Miss Jane was embezzling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HossC Posted Saturday at 07:28 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 07:28 PM I found an article at screenrant.com that says the Clampetts started out with $25m in 1962, but by the time the show ended, that figure had reached $100m. 3 hours ago, RogerDuke said: If he went from 85 to 35 then something bad was going on...since there were no major financial crises in that era.

RogerDuke Posted Tuesday at 03:13 AM Author Report Share Posted Tuesday at 03:13 AM It's nice to have electric again. There are still places that haven't gotten it back after our major wind storm Saturday. At least it wasn't as bad as those poor folks in Mississippi.
