WEEKEND report

What a laid back weekend!

Staff is down at the creek
mud crawling (we need rain!) and
cooking some fine
Lonsdale Sort Of Meat Dawgs
while the skeleton crew
answers the phone and
puts some things up for you
to read.


Are you glued to
your ZENITH watching
the CHINA OLYMPICS?
Ever wonder just what
in the dang world
those people with the
funny eyes are saying?

Well here is a
fast translation
of words those
diminutive folks
are screaming when
their 4 year old
gymnastic girl
wins another gold!

This thing takes about
five minutes so if
you are on the lap top you
can take it into the throne
room and come out speaking
just like you owned a rice
paddy and one of those pointed
hats!

SEC Football
Planning for the fall football season in the South is radically
different than up North. For those who are planning a football
trip South, here are some helpful hints.



Women's Accessories:
NORTH: Chap Stick in back pocket and a $20 bill in the front
pocket.

SOUTH: Louis Vuitton duffel with two lipsticks, waterproof
mascara, and a fifth of bourbon. Money not necessary - that's
what dates are for.

Stadium Size:
NORTH: College football stadiums hold 20,000 people.

SOUTH: High school football stadiums hold 20,000 people.

Fathers:
NORTH: Expect their daughters to understand Sylvia Plath.

SOUTH: Expect their daughters to understand pass interference.

Campus Decor:
NORTH: Statues of founding fathers.

SOUTH: Statues of Heisman trophy winners.

Homecoming Queen:
NORTH: Also physics major.

SOUTH: Also Miss America.

Heroes:
NORTH: Rudy Giuliani.

SOUTH: Herschel Walker & Peyton Manning.

Getting Tickets:
NORTH: 5 days before the game you walk into the ticket office
on campus.

SOUTH: 5 months before the game you walk into the ticket office
on campus, make a large financial contribution, and put name
on a waiting list for tickets.

Friday Classes After a Thursday Night Game:
NORTH: Students and teachers not sure they're going to the
game, because they have classes on Friday.

SOUTH: Teachers cancel Friday classes because they don't want
to see the few hung over students that might actually make it to class.

Parking:
NORTH: An hour before game time, the University opens the
campus for game parking.

SOUTH: RVs sporting their school flags begin arriving on
Wednesday for the weekend festivities. The really faithful arrive on
Tuesday.

Game Day:
NORTH: A few students party in the dorm and watch ESPN on TV.

SOUTH: Every student wakes up, has a beer for breakfast, and
rushes over to where ESPN is broadcasting 'Game Day Live' to
get on camera and wave to the idiots up north who wonder why 'Game Day
Live'
is never broadcast from their campus.

Tailgating:
NORTH: Raw meat on a grill, beer with lime in it, listening to
local radio station with truck tailgate down

SOUTH: 30-foot custom pig-shaped smoker fires up at dawn.
Cooking accompanied by live performance from the Dave Matthews Band,
who come over during breaks and ask for a hit off bottle of bourbon.

Getting to the Stadium:
NORTH: You ask 'Where's the stadium?' When you find it, you
walk right in.

SOUTH: When you're near it, you'll hear it. On game day it is the
state's third largest city.

Concessions:
NORTH: Drinks served in a paper cup, filled to the top with soda.

SOUTH: Drinks served in a plastic cup, with the home team's
mascot on it, filled less than half way with soda, to ensure
enough room for bourbon.

When National Anthem is Played:
NORTH: Stands are less than half full, and less than half of
them stand up.

SOUTH: 100,000 fans, all standing, sing along in perfect
four-part harmony.

The Smell in the Air After the First Score:
NORTH: Nothing changes.

SOUTH: Fireworks, with a touch of bourbon.

Commentary (Male):
NORTH: 'Nice play.'

SOUTH: 'Dammit, you slow sumbitch - tackle him and break his legs.'

Commentary (Female):
NORTH: 'My, this certainly is a violent sport.'

SOUTH: 'Dammit, you slow sumbitch - tackle him and break his legs.'

Announcers:
NORTH: Neutral and paid.

SOUTH: Announcer harmonizes with the crowd in the fight song,
with a tear in his eye because he is so proud of his team.

After the Game:
NORTH: The stadium is empty way before the game ends.

SOUTH: Another rack of ribs goes on the smoker, while somebody
goes to the nearest package store for more bourbon, and
planning begins for next week's game.
