I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'd play something sugary sweet and overly sentimental. If a guy comes out to "Playground in my Mind" emotionless and dead in the eyes, and the opposing team hears "My name is Michael. I got a nickel", that team is gonna crap themselves. Think about it...
"nerdy *** POOR bastards" is right. We are the lowest paid faculty in the SEC. The Starkville housing market is ridiculously overpriced, to the point where new faculty and staff are living in Louisville and surrounding communities. No joke, this year the university started an official food drive...
Nirvana and Pearl Jam need to be on top. They had that silent rivalry/relationship like The Beatles and The Stones and drove the "alternative" era. But don't let Radiohead's OK Computer slip by. Monumental album in terms of production. And for raw power, Everclear's Sparkle and Fade is a...

I know it's just a movie and we should accept it as such but I must admit that when they were all celebrating on the deck of the carrier, I leaned over to the wife and said, "What the Hell are they doing? A retaliatory strike has already been ordered and launched. Put that ship in warp drive...
To all those who contributed to our fundraiser, which I posted here on sixpack, thank you. We had a blast. I've honestly had at least half of them tell me directly that it was the best boy scout event they participated in ever. Your generosity did that. We learned so much and had so many...
