House I grew up in, my parents built it a couple of years after they married, mom finally sold it/moved about 5 years ago after living in it nearly 60 years. Mom loved flowers, had probably 20 huge azalea bushes and tons of tulips, irises, day-lilies, etc. etc. One year she noticed that a lot of ...

[quote]Who gives a flying frick about the 10th annual Hunger Games? It's just a rinse and repeat disguised as a "prequel"[/quote] I've read the book that the movie is based on. It's a prequel that focuses on how the games became the huge spectacle that we see in the original book. It was interestin...

Alabama and Mississippi (at least the southern parts) had a heavy French influence that carried over well after the formation of the United States. Georgia and South Carolina were English colonies and nothing else. Not so much for Georgia, but South Carolina was settled by a very high class of pl...

[quote]His helmet reminded me of the guy Maximus fought in the Roman coliseum in gladiator.[/quote] It definitely had some classical touches to it. Also the three great mothers having names that echo the names of the three Fates from Greek mythology. Add to that, Baylan and Shin's last names (Skoll...

[quote]Did grown men actually wear that jacket on purpose?[/quote] I wouldn't necessarily call high school or college kids grown men, but yeah. Packer fans wear plastic cheese wedges on their heads. Red Wings fans carry dead octopi into the arena with them to throw on the ice after goals. Auburn...

I don't have a ton, but I do have a few things; don't have pictures of them though. -Coach Dye's autograph on the back of a ticket stub for an AU baseball game in one of the first years that "new" Plainsman Park was open. -Official Sugar Bowl 2004 team photo framed with ticket stubs from that ...

[quote] i would hardly consider 90s Kenny Chesney to be considered the archetypal "bro country", especially considering what the the late 00s, 2010s, and 2020s have produced and continue to produce. the album that song is on (everywhere we go) is decent enough for 90s country fans (of which i am one...

Other than a dog, the only other pet I owned was a red eared slider (turtle) that my dad caught in a stryofoam cup at our lake house. When he caught him, the shell was about the size of a quarter. By the time we re-released him (maybe 10 years later) it was probably a good 5 inch oval. Back in th...

[quote]What’s sad about all this is that that while technology advanced by leaps and bounds, infantry tactics did not. Soldiers attacked in virtually the same way in 1914 as they did in 1863.[/quote] Really the same thing can be said about the tactics during the Civil War. Technology had advanced t...

My great-great-grandfather fought there as a member of York's Battery, 9th Georgia Artillery. I haven't been to the battlefield (sad considering where I live) but apparently there are several markers showing how York's Battery advanced on the battlefield. I need to find time to go up there and try t...

One of my cousins on my dad's side was a huge Elvis fan and saw him/met him a couple of times in Atlanta before he reached superstar level (she's now in her early 80s). The first time was at the Fox Theater, and she and a friend were one of the last people to leave and were just hanging around th...

[quote]The Supreme Court already said this was not a federal matter[/quote] The Supreme Court said that it was not a federal matter as described (and protected) under Roe because that was a bad interpretation to make Roe legal. One of the conservative justices (Kavanaugh I believe) wrote in a co...

[quote]more women...and people of color[/quote] Oh the irony. Considering that Maren's super liberal all woman supergroup invited Mickey Guyton, one of the only black females in country music, to be in a video with them and then filmed the video and skipped out before she made it to set....

[quote]Stripper? That's disgusting. She's nasty. I mean, what strip club would hire her? Gross. And what street would this strip club be on?[/quote] According to her FB she works at a Hustler Club. Sadly she's from the SEC footprint apparently (Augusta, GA)....

[quote]Surprised to see my favorite GA 'que place on the list. #2 Fresh Air It's great, just surprised it got noticed on a list like that.[/quote] Agree. I've been eating Fresh Air since I was a little kid. Family has had a place on the lake since the early 80s. It isn't for everyone, but it is ...
