In Indiana (especially before Digger Phelps left ND and the General left IU) Basketball is religion and our neighbors to the south agree- KY.

I was amazed while at Ft Sam Houston and Ft Hood- the giant stadiums and giant water towers with XYZ TX 5A champs... everywhere... back home ya just paint your girls initials on 'em.

If I ever get remarried (maybe I should just have fake ones- weddings) yeah like my wife'd go for that!!!! :eek: the girls from 'Wedding Crashers would be uninvited so as to crash (see Nekkid Coeds post ) it... here in SoCal - they hire guards to keep crashers out

or serve soCal spinach ( E Coli - breakout)

CC - seems thats the latest rage, called 'crashing a wedding' they do it all over teh states, you just mingle w the crowd and pretend someone invited you and get free food drink and music.

i have no idea where people come up with such ideas. maybe tehy shoudl have paddles up on the wedding party door, as decoration, and the non-invited will stay AWAY.

My sister's wedding reception was a pig roast in the back yard. We even had a keg. Nothing but the best! It took two hours to realize that some of the 'guests' were not on the bride's side or the groom's but just folks who drove by and saw a party.

Funny (or sad) but true - there was an angry letter to the editor in Huntsville's newspaper today about a campus chaplin who, in his pre-game prayer, said that in Alabama football is king and compared the players to Jesus' diciples. I guess even southerners take high school football only so far! I've found that the only thing they take more seriously than football is religion!

luvmykids, GREAT IDEAS!!!!

shawn, i will tell him the omissions, i always keep him honest, what i hate most about his spam mail, is , he always forgets to pass them thru SNOPES.COM for veracity so i usally do it for him. didnt do it for the football jokes, since jokes arent supposed to be truth anyway (or??...)

I have MI and southern blood therefore can laugh at both sides of the joke. bourbon, no thank you. wine and cheese pls.right before my latte and beignets. my food order is N then S.

Everyone should experience a pigroast at least once in their lifetime.
Think Congress would make it a crime to not... Gotta cal Feinswine and Bloxter my 2 worhtless Congresspeople :cool:

While passing through the living room the other night I saw part of a commercial for a movie/tv show based on southern high school football. I've heard from friends who have moved to southern states and from people at my husband's corporate office in Texas how truly serious people take those games.

Maybe we need to develop some kind of program that would invoke that kind of enthusiasm toward our children's education. Tailgating before the big math test? Having pep rallies at the front doors of the school everyday as the children go in?(That one sounds doable!) I'll roast a pig in the parking lot, if it gets parents to get involved in the school!
