Great things about atlanta:

The weather
The bars
The Braves
The Fox Theater
The High Museum of Art
GT, Emory, GSU, Spelman, Morehouse, etc...
Tons of great Restaurants
Hip-Hop Scene
The Varsity
Coca Cola
Centennial Park
The Huge Ass Aquarium
and, most importantly,
...I live here

Come visit!

I am fairly confident Brendon O'Brien lives here too. Not to mention great places for good southern food like Fat Matt's rib shack, swallow at the hollow, green woods among the many others out there!

I will scream my lungs out till it fills this room

How much difference
How much difference does it make

please play north or south carolina, or atlanta.

Subject: SMILE - HOW A SOUTHERNER THINKS.


In an effort to help outsiders understand the rules of the Southerner's
mind, the following list will be handed to each person as they enter a Southern State. (These actually should be the rules in all states.)

1. That farm boy you see at the gas station did more
work before breakfast than you do all week at the gym.

2. It's called a "gravel road." No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Lincoln Navigator. Drive it or get it out of the way!

3. The red dirt -- it's called clay. Red clay. If you like the color, don't wash your car for a couple weeks -- it'll be permanent.

4. We all started hunting and fishing when we were seven years old. Yeah,
we saw that Bambi movie, too. We got over it.

5. Pull your pants up! You look like an idiot.

6. No, there's no "Vegetarian Special" on the menu. Order steak. Order it
rare. Or, you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the two pounds of
ham and turkey.

7. Tea -- yeah, we have tea. It comes in a glass over ice and it's sweet.
You want it hot? Set it in the sun. You want it unsweetened? Add a lot of
water.

8. You bring Coke into my house, it better be brown, wet, and served over
ice!

9. You have a sixty-thousand-dollar car. We're real impressed. We
have a quarter of a million-dollar combine that we only use two weeks a year.

10. Let's get this straight. We have one stoplight in town. We stop when
it's red. We may even stop when it's yellow.

11. We eat dinner together with our families. We pray before we eat--yeah,
even breakfast. We go to church on Wednesdays and Sundays, and we go to
high school football games on Friday nights. We still address our seniors
with "yes, sir" and "yes, ma'am," and we sometimes still take Sunday
drives around town to see friends and neighbors.

12. We don't do "hurry up" well.

13. Greens -- yeah, we have greens, but you don't putt on them. You boil
them with salty fatback, bacon or a smoked hog jowl.

14. Yeah, we eat catfish, bass, bream, and carp. You really want sushi and
caviar? It's available down at the bait shop.

15. They are pigs. That's what they smell like. Get over it. Don't like
it? Interstate 75 goes two ways. Interstate 40 goes the other two. Pick
one.

16. Grits are corn. You put butter, salt, and maybe even some pepper on
them. If you want to put milk and sugar on them, then you want cream of
wheat -- go to Kansas. That would be I-40 West.

17. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season or dove season.
Both are holidays. You can get pancakes, cane syrup, and sausage before
daylight at the church on either day.

18. So every person in every pickup truck waves? Yeah, it's called being
friendly. Understand the concept?

19. Yeah, we have golf courses. Don't hit in the water hazards. It spooks
the fish and bothers the gators --and, if you hit it in the rough, we have these things called diamondbacks, and they're not baseball players.

20. That Highway Patrol Officer that just pulled you over for driving like
an idiot --his name is "Sir" no matter how young he is.

21. We have lots of pine trees. They have sap. It drips from them. You
park your darn Navigator under them, and they'll leave a souvenir on your
hood.
