I'm not condoning the actions of "the machine," but where else does being involved in student government lead to becoming a US senator?

At Vanderbilt!

We [Kentucky] also have the best Cheerleaders in the world... again dominating the championships both at the collegiate level and on the high school level.

I think baby girls in Kentucky are often started in tumbling classes before they can walk...literally...I know my niece did! She has three goals in live: 1) to go to Heaven 2) to be a Kentucky cheerleader 3) to be on the US Olympic team.

And how about Keeneland in the fall and spring. Got the Kentucky Derby too.

TSteven, I agree! Keeneland and the Downs are magical places in the spring. I start airing out my hat collection in Feb.!

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

True! true!

Really? I don't recall all Southerners being alcoholics.

Oh, Dear, No! It is a cultural thing...Bless your heart, you just couldn't possibly understand.

Vanderbilt (I know you are all thinking that this one shouldn't be on the list...but I've been to some of their parties and those smart kids know how to party)

We actually won "Best Campus for Hard Liquor" one year!

Go Bama and Vandy!

TSteven, you are after my heart!

"Baton Rouge happens to be the worst place in the world to be a visiting team."

Agreed, Hottytoddy...Beer bottles thrown at us as we exited the field to get on the bus...

Why on earth would you want to be drunk and shouting at the football field in a dress and heels, especially in the hot, humid 90 degree September sunshine?...Why not be cute and comfortable? Wear khakis and a cute top in school colors?

Because my mother would disown me if I showed up in public in khakis....

There ain't nothin cute about khakis.

Co-sign. I wore them to school ONCE, and Mr. Silver told me that I looked like a volleyball coach and to please change if he was to take me to eat.
