[edit] Quotes

  • "Of course I'm a little bit perturbed whenever I see any of my Shakespearean-quality words edited by another user." - found this quote unsigned (and I didn't want to look it up).

Berkjord's Greatist Hits

  • "There is NO ONE IN CHARGE of this asylum. No ultimate authority except JIMBO, who is on vacation forever!" -by Beckjord, a comment at the talk page of Erik Beckjord I added the exclamation mark at the end. It was a period.
  • And finally:
"Remember, Galilleo was a nut. Columbus also. Wright Bros. Even Einstein.

[edit] Secret Spot

This unique jail was used until 1982, when a court action forced it to close. However, on October 4, 1981 it was put on the National Register of Historic Places, along with several other buildings in DeRidder. Along the court house there are several other historic buildings in De Ridder, including scenic pig holes which range from not much nicer than crawfish holes to not much smaller than porta potties. De Ridder also haves a few were-houses, named for the were-wolves occuping them (though this might be a local legend). Since the recent introduction of alcohol into the Parish, the residents are no longer just dum, they are dum and drunk (not including the very likable Baptists, who would never be caught intoxicated in public). Actually, there are a few wise-guys in De Ridder...hint hint. Apart from a church every 6-8 feet, there are no attractions in De Ridder. At all. Whatsoever. Calling West Park an "attraction" is like calling Miss De Ridder "beautiful" - both of which are common among the 80 year old blind population. Apart from going to church every 6-8 feet, residents of this charming town frequent the "Great goddess of the South", Wal-Mart, and go to TWO resturants called Fausto's. Oh, also there is a museum which houses as many "interesting artifacts" as my septic tank does (except for a certain stuffed fox and an old buggy, which turn more heads than the lady Dragon softball team [only slightly more]). But really, the air is clean, the pines are green, and the people are very nice and hospitable, and they care, which makes living here tolerable.
