Ok, I give up. Rollllll Tide!
I just heard that it's confirmed - Dick Cheney is speaking at Auburn University's graduation ceremonies May 13. Anyone got a spare bedroom for me that weekend?

:puke:

2. I am so sorry.
I have a good friend who's an a Democrat and an Auburn graduate.
I bet that he's none too happy with this news.

4. you guys are beating us 3-0
This'll be the third visit, I believe, by Bush or Cheney to Auburn or Auburn-Montgomery. We've yet to get our first. Roll Tide. :)

5. I told you to go easy on me!
And I was going to ask you to take me to your family reunion with you if we could get the DU meetup this summer nearby...

You're right though. It's mighty embarrassing, this parade of the top echelons of the neocon establishment through my little hometown. And I have a really extra bad feeling about this one coming up.

6. Roll Tide Roll!
Eat your heart out Sharri! The University of Alabama Democrat logo! :rofl:

Even more reason to be a Democrat... and 'Bama fan! Woohoo!



And this is a really nice college Dem site. I can't wait to join my Freshman year. :)

Will this stop the bleeding? Oh... my bad. I have a feeling that Sharri will be throwing on the Crimson & White this fall.

12. "really extra bad feeling about this one coming up"
Edited on Sat May-07-05 12:36 AM by Syrinx
Care to expand on that? Sounds a little scary.

It'll probably be great for the local economy.

EDIT: I didn't mean to be hard on you. Was I?

To make amends, in football, in the last three years, Bama is 0-3 against Auburn. Better? ;)

10. Sela Ward Or Dick Cheney?
OMG what a tough decision! A hot girl or an old, cynical, crabby liar???

Geez, what's a guy to do? Bama all the way... once again!

11. I'm not sure about this, but I think it's open to the public
It's going to be at the Bryant-Denny, because the Coliseum is under renovation. I was thinking of heading over, just to see Sela, but I doubt it though.

You probably already know this, but she was a cheerleader at Bama in the seventies, and homecoming queen one year, I believe. And her boyfriend was Bob Baumhower. I mean what are the chances, homecoming queen and gridiron star a couple?

17. those costumes
I have some pictures I took at the ball games in the seventies, including some of the Crimsonettes. And let me tell you, those outfits were very revealing! Those were the days. ;)

15. Thanks! I must say that I was not entirely sober when I posted that.
Sela Ward wasn't so bad of a speaker. I might have gone with someone else but of course they never ask me. I feel good finally having finished but don't look forward to the fact that the student loan people will be knocking on my door in a few days.

20. Great!
Though Tuscaloosa.....well, my feelings about T-town are a matter of public record here!

I'm greatly outnumbered, though, so I try to go with the flow. I graduated from UGA, anyway!

:D
