Message: [QUOTE="Meadowlark, post: 261934, member: 7117"] Sorry, but I have too "correct" your "American". Of course, I speak "Texan" so I may be wrong but... It's "Mercy, Sakes, Alive" as in the song "Convoy" "[I]Ah, breaker one-nine, this here's the Rubber Duck You got a copy on me, Pig Pen, c'mon? Ah, yeah, 10-4, Pig Pen, fer shure, fer shure By golly, it's clean clear to Flag Town, c'mon Yeah, that's a big 10-4 there, Pig Pen Yeah, we definitely got the front door, good buddy [B]Mercy sakes alive,[/B] looks like we got us a convoy[/I]" Oh yes, "Mercy, Sakes, Alive" was a common expression in my youth by adults with emphasis on the "Mercy" Never heard it used as Snakes instead of Sakes, o_O :D [/QUOTE]
