I wonder if they were originally brown? Perhaps not --- according to her biography, she and Hubby have been married for many years and get along quite well, so presumably she's never had much occasion to have her significant other cause her to "cry her brown eyes blue".
I could never quite understand how the song "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" made much sense, since Crystal Gayle already has blue eyes.

Da drag-coefficient properties of feather-tailed projectiles.
Boss Hogg's henchmen would dismissively scoff at da Duke Boys' using merely traditional Native-American weapons over their own seemingly-superior powder-and-lead firearms during wild car-chases, but they were not counting on da exceptional arrowdynamics of da Duo Cousins' projectiles, not to mention da fact dat said wooden/aluminum staffs were fitted with dynamite-sticks on their tips.

Since horses can be trained to tread quietly while carrying a rider, you can be more stirruptitious in spying on people by riding a horse than you could in a noisy-engined vehicle.

Snortingly-sarcastic term for a shyster's/villain's huffily acting like he's a conscientious peaceable virtuous caring-about-fellow-humans person who shouldn't be suspected or criticized, when of course in reality he's just a self-centered a**h**e who's totally undeserving of any praise or respect.
A prime example of someone's deciding to use this shameless tactic would be in "The Untouchables" with Kevin Costner --- when Elliot Ness angrily confronts Al Capone on the stairway and accuses him of murdering people and otherwise being a horrid crook, Capone indignantly lashes out right back at Ness for his "talking that way in front of Capone's son"... Ness's feelings would therefore be something like, Capone decided to go all "family man" on me --- how infuriatingly disgusting!

Tongue-in-cheek reference to Texaco's seemingly-insignificant error of drilling a 14"-diameter bore-hole into da roof of da Diamond Crystal Salt Company's hacked-out chasm underneath Lake Pigneur; as we all know, though, said comparatively-tiny geological puncture was ANYTHING BUT "miner" --- I mean, minor!
Poking a merely-foot-two-inch-diameter hole into da roof of a hollowed-out salt-cavern may indeed not sound very serious or dangerous, but when you consider dat (1) there was an entire lake on top of said fissure, and (2) da material surrounding said unintended vent was largely composed of readily-dissolvable salt --- which of course would just erode away and thus rapidly make said erroneous orifice progressively bigger --- said "miner mistake" was hardly "small potatoes", after all!!

I don't want to enroll in any or Milwaukee's aerobics classes --- they all make you do "The Schplitz", and I value the integrity of my hips-joints more than that.
