    LOCKED - OT: Nuclear waste storage in Mississippi....

    Everyone freaks out when you mention the word nuclear. I've been in the nuclear science field for the last 7 years and the concerns are definitely overblown. Are there significant risks? Sure, but it's easy to implement safety measures that minimize the risk. To address nuclear storage...

    OT: Costa Rica trip

    My wife and I also just booked a trip to Costa Rica for this summer, so I'd welcome any suggestions in this thread as well.

    DUKE fans chant "How's your Grandma?" at NCState player who recently lost his...

    Pride? I have no pride in Duke basketball. I have no pride in Duke undergrads, many of which are elitist snots. The only pride I have concerning Duke is its reputation for academic success, and that is unaffected by any rumors of a chant at a basketball game. As I said, believe whatever you...

    Right, because we all know rival fans never pose as fans of other schools in order to perpetuate rumors or badmouth players... You guys feel free to believe whatever you want. I'm telling you as a fellow MSU fan and apathetic Duke student that this chant did not happen.

    It doesn't matter what it sounds like, I'm telling you the actual chant. Again, I was at the game, and I participated in almost all of the cheers (with the exception of poking fun at NCSU for being a State school, which I wouldn't do as an MSU grad). The chant was definitely "Past your bedtime."...

    Pretty easy to mistake it, apparently. Again, I was sitting in the grad student section, and the chant was "Past your bedtime." Other gems used during the game include "Bilbo Baggins," which was definitely my favorite. There was no mention of a grandma during the course of the game. The chants...

    My bad, then. Misread the intent behind your question. I assumed it was veiled accusation of being a troll or something. Admittedly, I was overly defensive about the thread since my objectivity was called into question by Cadaver.

    Would love to, but grad student seating isn't behind the Duke bench. If someone wants to pony up and buy me a ticket behind the Duke bench, I'd be happy to sport all of my MSU apparel.

    DUKE fans chant "How's your Grandma?" at NCState player who recently lost his...

    That's because there aren't many Dukies who graduated from MSU. What do you mean why am I on SPS? Is it forbidden to check MSU message boards after attending a non-MSU sporting event or something? While not posting much, I've been a member if SPS since around 06-07, under various aliases...

    DUKE fans chant "How's your Grandma?" at NCState player who recently lost his...

    The rumor is a lie; I can think of a bunch of Duke-hating reasons for that type of rumor to be fabricated. My screen name is "TheDuke" because I'm a grad student at Duke. But to give you some perspective, I'm barely even a Duke sports fan. Despite being here 3.5 years, this was my first *ever*...

    I was at the game... Just got back from the game, and I can tell you that this rumor is completely false.

    OT: Meridian

    Not only are they surrounded, but the major lake has a leak in the dam, yet the HOA is shuffling their feet about what to do. It's making my father-in-law pissed since fishing is his passion...

    OT: Meridian

    In-Laws live in that community now; definitely a nice place to live, but mostly due to isolation. Some neighboring areas outside of the (somewhat large) community aren't the greatest.

    OT: Meridian

    Agreed with several others; Meridian is no longer a decent place to live. Grew up there, but it's gone downhill steadily for years. Been trying to convince my family to move for the last couple years. Crime is getting out of control. As others have said, North Hills area/etc. are decent places...
