you could be sittin' a spell for days with that setup:cool:

[zilla939]

a spell = several days, given enough beer and good conversation/music.

[eyeagainsteye]

watchin the days turn into weeks

[Fyrenza]

The WHOLE saying is meant to mean "to visit", i think:

You'd go set a spell,

have a nice tall glass of iced tea, lemonade, mint juleps, sassparilla, moonshine, whatever,

talk about the weather,

gossip ~>

we know it as "Sittin' and shootin' the shit" with someone,

or "Coke-in', Tokin', and Jokin' " :rofl:
