Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

More seriously, the "what cultures are represented" question felt really out of place to me -- it's a right/wrong trivia question, not a "survey says!"

UGA's notions of tailgating are EPIC. It is a lifestyle.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Huh, "iced tea" in my mind is different from cold herbal teas, for example.

Yeah, the only flavor sweet tea should have is from a slice of lemon or some mint. I will drink flavored teas, but I don't think of them as traditionally southern.

I have eaten at a Varsity! In Atlanta. I am ashamed that I put Paula Deen as a Southern chef, because I am not a fan, but I didn't figure anyone would know the other ones I would name (Mildred Council aka Mama Dip from Chapel Hill or Mrs. Wilkes from Savannah).

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

item on the Varsity menu

Pretty sure hot dogs are what you go there for.

My brother's been paid $100 to "guard" tailgating setups (with flatscreens set up to get satellite, gas grills, generators, serious gourmet grilling spread, oh, and free beer) for Alabama football games while the fans go to the game. He eats and drinks himself stupid.

It's football. It's Alabama.

And I still can't remember which team belongs to which city/collegiate institution, or who he's suppose to be rooting for. My nephews have definite preferences. And only one was born there (but the other only spent 2 years in TX.)

Oh man! I should've put in Mama Dip. (I put in Alton Brown's Mamaw.)

Thrive to spite them

That was fun!

I picked NASCAR for another thing you'd tail gate for. And here in St Albans practically a short jaunt from the Canadian border I've found TWO restaraunts that have fresh brewed sweet and unsweet tea! One even has grits, although I have not tried them.

I'm thinking Paula Deen is going to show up as the famous Southern chef but I picked Jeff Besh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I put Paula Deen, AND I LOVE HER.

When I worked at a bagel shop down in NC, we had 4 vats of tea. Sweet and unsweet in caf and decaf. Always were pouring out the unsweet when I worked closing. You MUST add the sugar when the tea is still hot. Else you don't get the syrupness. God, we used a lot of sugar.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I picked NASCAR for another thing you'd tail gate for.

And they have some mega setups too.
