A milkshake created and drunk by Beatrice Middleton's best friend, Florence Rogers, known to her as "Flo". They most often drink it after a Silver Sneakers class has taken place. It's made of blueberries and several other fruits and based off of chocolate milk.
Beatrice: Whoah, that Silver Sneakers class was a killer!
Flo: You know, I'm in the mood for something creamy. How about a Florence Freeze?
Beatrice: Now you're talking! You know I like that.
Flo: This is a hit. It's gonna go all over the world!
A workout program studied by Beatrice Middleton and all her friends at the local Senior Center, where she stays. It is taught by a woman who looks much like her daughter-in-law, Midge.
Midge: Hey everyone, let's Beatricize!
Flo: Yeah, that's a great workout.
Beatrice: Yeah, you tell 'em Midge. You get them going!
Midge: Beatrice, you're my mother-in-law, why don't you teach this stuff?
Beatrice: Okay, I will. We're gonna do this Gunny Granny style. Ten hut!!!

An intense feeling of love for one's grandpa. Most notably shown by Earl Pickles and Nelson Wolfe.
Nelson: Hey grandpa! It's a gramptastic day out there!
Earl: You're right! What's say we hit the rocktrail and look for some rocks.
Nelson: Nothing more gramptastic than that
A holiday celebrated at Camp Swampy, NC by the soldiers there. Very similar to Halloween, but is a funny day when Amos Halftrack falls sick. When asked to wear masks the staff wear Halloween masks as opposed to surgical masks. Amos does not find this amusing and his wife, Marty, even said it looks silly. The first Halftrackeen was on May 22, 2011 after a flu epidemic had broken out. It is so silly but be careful, you may get sick!
Amos: Oh no, another cold epidemic. I bet its Halftrackeen.
Marty: Yeah, you're right. Its a big one. The whole base must be in on it.
Amos: (puts on a surgical mask) I'll go see what's up with all this. Do you want to come?
Marty: No, I got a date with Bridie. We're going to play some tennis.
Amos: Okay. See you later, sweetie! (he throws her a kiss through the mask. He gets to the office and Sheila is in there)
Sheila: Boo! Its Halftrackeen so I thought I would wear my devil mask. Cute, huh?
Amos: Silly! This is not supposed to be fun. This is serious.
Sheila: Oh, loosen up General. If you get sick we can always take you to Stainy. He knows what to do.
Amos: (laughs) He'll probably just rub us with some Mary Mud and pray the Hail Mary over us. Halftrackeen sure is fun! Even if we do get a little green.
A bat often brought to a sale by older women which is used to fight for a sale item. Usually done when another grandma tries to get the same sale item you wanted first. Sale Bats are also part of the pre-Christmas workout called 'Sale-R-cise', although it can be used at any time. The first known use of a Sale Bat was on April 27, 2011 when Beatrice and Paul Middleton were playing with one. You have to be careful not to get caught with it or else you will hear Mom yell very loudly.
Beatrice: Hey Wilson, want me to teach you how to use a Sale Bat?
Wilson: (stunned) Are you talking like a vandal? I don't know. What good will a Sale Bat do me? Are you trying to get me in trouble here?
Beatrice: No, this is how you use a Sale Bat. Its a whole lot of fun. What you do is you take it to the store and wait for an old granny like me to come and steal a sale item. Then here's the fun part: you clobber them with it. I mean, you really let 'em have it!
Bryant: Beatrice Elvira Mary Duke Middleton!! What in the world are you teaching him? To steal stuff? Oh my God! My own Gunny Granny, a common criminal!!
Beatrice: (laughing) Well, you want a piece of it! We could We could practice on Grandma Flo. It'd be fun. Then we could go to the store and try it out for real.
Morris: (really angry) Mom, I don't approve of this. You are NOT taking that ball bat to the store. I will not have it!
Beatrice: (starts swinging at Morris with the baseball bat) You want a piece of me, son? Do you?!! Pretend I'm at the store trying to steal something you want. I'm trying to give you all a lesson here. That's all this is.
Morris: Hey, that item was in my cart. Get away from it!! (grabs the bat and whacks Beatrice hard in the arm).
Beatrice: That's it! You've got it now! That's a Sale Bat. Every granny should keep one of these. Even a Gunny Granny like me.
The sight of seeing SFC. Orville P. Snorkle in sneakers, which he hardly ever wears. He was recently seen in sneakers on October 7, 2011 getting ready to play tennis with Pvt. Beetle Bailey. Swampy Sneaks are very hard to spot but Sarge, as he is known, is the most frequent wearer of them. The other guys don't often wear them. If you want to see something sweet, catch Sgt. Snorkle in his Swampy Sneaks!
Orville: Hey Stainy, how about some tennis? I got my Swampy Sneak!
Stainy: You're on! Bet I'll beat you. Nothing beats a good game of tennis. Sweet Jesus!
Orville: (he lifts his foot up to show Stainy the sneaker) Check this out, size 15! Great traction, comfy as all get out! These babies make me the king of the swamp.
Stainy: (yelling) Hold on, wait till you see mine. I drew a picture of Mary on these. Sweet! (they start playing tennis)
Orville: Well, that's 15-Love. I'm ready for you anytime, night or day! (they start chasing each other back and forth hitting the tennis ball)
Stainy: Match point! Look out, I'm gonna get this. (he hits the ball so hard it gets Orville on the foot) Take that! Right on the Swampy Sneak.
Orville: Good one! You beat me, I admit it. But, aren't these Swampy Sneaks fun to wear? Pretty snazzy, huh?
A game of baseball invented by Morris Middleton. Played by the kids in his neighborhood, with him as coach. They will often try to hit him with a bat, but more often than not they won't. The idea of Morris Ball is to chase Morris with the bat and tag him with the ball, thus scoring a run. Whoever tags him the most times wins the game. This was first played in the Middleton's strip May 25, 2005.
Bryant: (walking down Nuthatch Lane and sees the Middleton's house. Hec is across from Bryant) Hey Hec, let's go scare Morris. Let's play Morris Ball!!!
Hec: You're on!! I used to play baseball a lot when I was a kid. Memphis Redbirds, remember?
Bryant: (chanting) I'm gonna scare on Mor-ris. I'm gonna scare on Mor-ris!
Hec: Okay, but let's be quiet so he doesn't see. (takes his baseball bat and sneaks up behind Morris tagging him)
Morris: (turns around scared) What did you do that for? Were you playing Morris Ball?
Bryant: We sure were! We just wanted to scare you.
Morris: Well, you sure scared me. Want to chase me? Try to tag me again. (he runs off laughing)
Hec: Watch out, he's sneaky! We're gonna have to get up really close to him. (starts laughing)
Bryant: (runs up behind Morris) Boo!!!! Gotcha again! Now isn't this fun?
Morris: Yes! It sure is. We'll have to teach this one to mom. She'd love it!
Bryant: Gunny Granny? She coaches this dang stuff. She wouldn't want to play it. But then again, she's probably scream if we tagged her.
Beatrice: (hearing Bryant) Who says I wouldn't want to play that. Looks like fun, honey. Can I play the next game with you, too?
Bryant: Anytime. Morris Ball is awesome.
