#1 As a lifetime resident of GA (except for my college stint at Auburn, AL), let me be the first to say:

Nee-ner, Nee-ner, Nee-ner! We're #1! Take that Texas!

#2 Virginia's started scheduling them again, too.

As far as I'm concerned, they should go back to using Ol' Sparkey.

#4 Even though I was only 3 at the time (in GA), I humbly ask all Rantburgians to forgive me for the pock known as Jimmuh that Georgia gave this great nation.

And, Barbara, I agree. I always think back about when "Sir" Charles Barkley (yes, the NBA star, who played at Auburn University) was running for Governor of Alabama (as a Democrat, but a "Southern" one). Someone from the press asked if he believed in the "electric chair".

His response was telling. It went like this (paraphrasing here): "Electric chair (singular)? Heck, I believe in electric BLEACHERS!"
