PhreeZone 20 #3 May 3, 2008 From the stage coach days the person "riding shotgun" would litterly ride up front with a shotgun beside the driver to keep away anyone or anything they did not want near the stagecoach.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #4 May 3, 2008 The job kinda sucked, too. "Shotgun" was the first target of the robbers. Made the driver nervous hoping the robbers were good with a gun. Driver: Dude. Could you slide over a little more to the right? Shotgun: Uh...er, OK, pardner. My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

kbordson 8 #8 May 3, 2008 Rules: 1. Must be "called" with all occupants present. 2. Must be "called" while outside on the way to the car 3. Only applies for that specific trip. (cannot call shotgun for "infinity") 4. If the owner of vehicle is not driving, he/she gets automatic first refusal of shotgun privileges. 5. Shotgun is responsible for nav., climate control and audio settings. 6. Shotgun is not allowed to fall asleep (unless the driver gets sick of the babble and wants him/her to be quiet) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #11 May 3, 2008 Besides calling shotgun, my brothers and I used to call out that our spot on the couch was "saved" while watching tv if we got up to use the bathroom or get a snack. Anyone else do that? There's always one spot on the couch that is better than the others!She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone else do that? There's always one spot on the couch that is better than the others! There was a time limit on the "save" though. So like if you weren't back before the commercial break was over, you lost your spot. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!

I have also known it as riding bitch, and it also counts for the person stuck in the middle in the back too.
