Do any of you guys play flight simulator. FSX to be exact. I dont play video games hardley ever, but I got this about a year ago and have been hooked ever since. I even went and bought a new computer and graphics card just for this program.

I don't play and this is irrelevant to this thread. But DieselDave, who says Hey big man let me hold a dollar? I've heard that expression on the JohnBoy and Billy show and have used it in the past and people give me funny looks but I still love the saying. I just don't remember who says it.

I dont either, but it is in relation to a comedian they had years ago that passed away. I am sure google will bring it up. Let me look.

EDIT
Big Show traditions
First-time callers to the show always have a cow "moo" sound effect played for them. Also, every John Boy and Billy Playhouse segment ends with a recording of former cast member Dub Starnes saying, "Hey, big man, lemme hold a dollar!" This was the last Playhouse line that Starnes delivered prior to his death in 1998; it is now used as a tribute to him.

I'm waiting for the price to fall more. IDK if I'm gonna like it all that much to pay any more than 20 bucks for it. I will get it someday. I plan on getting a pilots license someday and i have heard that this is an incredible learning tool!

It really is, after doing all the tutorials I am more than confident that I could fly and navigate a small plane IE 172 skyhawk

Great story. Thanks for finding this info. for me. I used to love that show, but I can't find it locally anymore. I've been using this saying alot lately, and am having fun with it. It's my brand of humor, even though I don't know what it pertains to for that segment!!!!!

I bought FSX as well, but can't run it on my laptop. I just play it on my dads desktop once in a while. It sure is great and detailed! It even has my small town runway! I tried flying a 747 JJ off of it, and just hit the trees at the end of the runway... LOL!
