1. I read Barney Google and Snuffy Smith for years as a kid

That’s the first time I ever saw Barney Google today

2. So did I

It's how I learned to speak hillbilly, my mom didn't think my emulating was funny though.

3. Speaking of Barney Google

When we were kids, my grandmother had a victrola in her barn (she used it as a garage, but it was originally a horse stable) which played the old Thomas Edison records. We knew how to operate it and "Barney Google" was a favorite!

6. I remember that song, at least part of it

Barney Google with the goo goo googly eyes!

My mom had a bunch of 78 records and I think another rpm that you don’t see any more. They were brittle and we used to use them like skeet and throw them up and shoot with a shotgun. I wonder if any of them would be valuable nowadays.
