The former slaves sent to Liberia by American Colonization Societies almost immediately clashed with the locals over slavery. For the locals, it was a cash industry and when the new arrivals tried to stop it, they attacked them and nearly wiped them out or enslaved them all over again. If not for a British frigate who saved them, they would have been wiped out.

The Shed's not that bad if you avoid their overly sweet sauce. They have other sauces.

But I would stop in at Fayards Marathon in Ocean Springs for poboys.

Another option is one of the old timey places on the Causeway outside of Mobile, like The Bluegill.

The last couple I had weren't worth a damn.
Soggy fish and lettuce, almost no tartar sauce.
Arby's quality overall has really gone downhill the last few years IMHO.

As with any fast food place, the quality can vary from place to place. The two I typically frequent are decent, but I have seen those problems.

It's out of Texas. Anyone have it? Like it?

I love it. Best jarred salsa I've ever had.

I've had it. Good stuff. I like the Hatch Chili version too.

"innocent Jeremy Pruitt"

Those three words are seldom seen that close together.

Cam Newton’s Heisman run against LSU. He ran right to me in the end zone. Cam and Patrick Peterson down together in the endzone. Two greatest athletes I’ve seen in person not named Bo Jackson.

Saw that. Thought at the time that was a Heisman moment.

Miracle at Jordan Hare -- the crowd roar when Ricardo caught that tip was deafening.

Not a single moment, but...

1989 Iron Bowl -- Never got quiet. Paper shaker haze. Pretty remarkable day for an Auburn fan.

1999 Auburn vs bama basketball game -- I think the final score was like 94-50. Not domination, humliation. bama couldn't even get the ball inbounds at times. The win had no significance, but was memorable nonetheless.

We really only have one "BIG" name on our roster, "Pearl."

BP doesn't bat 100%, but he does pretty well at spotting and developing talent. Pegues and Howard didn't contribute much this year, nor did Turtle though I think we could have used Turtle more. Broome, Chaney, CBM, DJ, and Cardwell turned out pretty well. Kelly too, though his production was not really a surprise. He did improve his defensive game though.

What next, a white John Shaft?

I miss the Pirate. He was one of a kind. I'm glad MSU gave him a shot in the conference. Rest in peace, Mike.

So, so very wealthy entertainers took a very expensive and very short thrill ride into the upper atmosphere as a publicity stunt and are now trying to hype the 4-minute period of weightlessness.
