WOOOO!!! EARLY REASSIGNS THE GATOR HATOR TO THE BABY
The Curious Index and the CFBA announcement for Best Prose will be along shortly, but first: WOOOOOO!!! Remember that taiiiihme you punched the teeth outta ya mouth to show them Gators how tough you were?
div#main{overflow:visible;}
Squidbillies: made by Georgians who know what they're talking about here. If that "Gator Hator" hat isn't sitting atop the heads of some bloody-mouthed UGA fans next season looking for their teeth on the ground, we'll be sorely, sorely disappointed in you all, sirs and madams. But you do know that in a name-calling war based on redneck cred, Georgia loses in a smoking heap to Florida, right? We've got so much more than just the Duck Head-wearing nouveau-riche Panic crowd and the oceans of starchy white trash that Georgia has to offer: switchblade wielding gel-freaks from Miami, bland transplanted midwesterners from Orlando, stoner surfer rednecks from Melbourne, Jacksonville tattoo guys still rocking the Durst fat pants, shot-guzzling Fiero drivers from Tampa, displaced Jerseyites who leave fake tanner residue on white couches...we've really got it all. The army of trash Florida can assemble is simply unparalleled.
We're nastily diverse with it. Early's head would be spinning.

Loving the SEC “I’m more of a redneck than you” bit. You guys won’t concede in ANYTHING to a rival, even who’s got more lame fans. BTW, you forgot to mention ‘chicks with fat arms.’

Sir, you only get those kind of arms from giving ferocious hand jobs.

When I saw that on Adult Swim the other night, I simply lost it. You’ve always known that Early was a Dawg. But never have I seen such a wonderfully accurate capturing of Dawg Nation.

I think you led with Miami for a reason. We all know it’s a totally non-redneck carveout.

“Duck Head-wearing nouveau-riche Panic crowd”
That, sir, cuts to the bone. But inaccurately.
Many of us are members of the red pant-wearing yuppy Phish crowd. So like I said, the bone.

- - what is the difference between Panic and Phish? The quality of the weed?
by Brian on Mar 4, 2008 9:36 AM EST reply actions
If you’re still wearing red pants and like Phish, it’s likely you’re too young to have ever seen them live*.
Spreadnecks simply are douchebags searching for something more cooly intense than Dave Matthews.

“the Duck Head-wearing nouveau-riche Panic crowd”
allsome
uga was one of the 127 law schools i applied to – on the application form, it asked “1. how bushy is your hair? 2. how many panic shows have you been to?”
true story.
- phish is, like, a totally heady crunchy groove, while panic is, like, more of a crunchy heady groove, braaaaaaaaaaaaah
and orson, while i fully respect the white trash diversity of florida, i’d be remiss if i didn’t note that we here in oklahoma lead both florida and georgia in one vitally important white trash statistic: number of meth-cooking induced trailor explosions – some call it a plague; i call it a byproduct of entrepreneurship

Replace “weed” with “musicians.”

“stoner surfer rednecks from Melbourne”
How did you know, really? That is an amazingly accurate representation of all of the people in my high school class who went to UF (myself included). The rest are drywallers, roofers and TJ Maxx cashiers.
by Kerwin4two on Mar 4, 2008 10:10 AM EST reply actions
the real difference between Phish and Panic is the number of Northeast frat boys eating mushrooms for the first time and picking fights with the dreadheads and trustafarians. Well, that and the number of guitarists on stage.
MiseanAuFan, so which has the higher quality? Judging from your scholastic affinity (and geography), I’d say Panic.

your post really illustrates the economic debate over globalization occurring right now
you would be in the globalization camp, advocating open trade among the nations, while i would be in the more protectionist camp, advocating american-based small business development, especially in the manufacturing sector

Yeah………that was supposed to be a little bit of self-depricating humor from a Georgia fan.
I will work on writing more expressively.
Glad to send everyone off on a tangent. On that note, I saw Phish at Big Cypress where I met a variety of Florida redneck not listed by Orson; the gator wrastlin’ Seminole. Their chief had part of his hand bit off, true story.

- you must be a “F.I.T.” wanna-be!
Down in the “IRC” we’d surf the inlet in the morning, skate the “PSL” metal ramp in the afternoon and airboat for aligator out in C-54 all night.
This was the 90’s however.

Wrong! (yes, I know- Auburn, southeast, etc- it screams Panic).

For the record:

Declaring which is better; UGA or UF, is like saying that your restaurant has the world’s best catfish. Yes the meat might be succulent and flaky, but at the end of the day, its inputs are still the garbage at the bottom of the pond.

Why must you hunk us natives of the DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUVAL in with Fred Durst?
Seriously, why not go for the Skynyrd or .38 Special crowd or 69Boyz?

Brian,
I cannot speak for Florida, but I am fairly sure that UGA is not “catfish”. Anyone who has stepped foot on the fine campus of America’s oldest chartered University and witnessed the beauty of our “fish” would know we only serve up the finest marine cuisine.

Yeah, Dawg 05, intelligence – like assuming a state that’s bordered on 3 fucking sides by ocean to pride itself on its catfish. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go chase Mofro out of my backyard.

Yes, it is very stupid to choose to go to a state school and avoid student loan debt. I cry every month when I don’t have to write a $500 check for my liberal arts degree.

If my ears do not deceive me, Early is none other than Unknown Hinson.
I fondly remember his chart-toppin TV series w/ the late Rebel Helms, “The Wild, Wild South”.

I once heard about, never witnessed, a painting of a Grateful Dead skeleton wearing a CSA uniform on the wall of a certain fraternity house at UA.

Brian: ?!?
GA Tech ranking: 35
UF ranking: 49
UGA ranking: 59
I can see where theres a bit of a differential between Tech and UGA, but please, UF is smack in the middle of the two. Certainly not bottom-feeding-catfish-analogy level of stupidity. That kind of stupidity is clearly reserved for institutions like FSU.
And to TCOANs point, many students at UF, if they had both FL Prepaid and Bright Futures, actually got paid (in a way) to stay in-state. I was one of em, and zero dollars in student debt is phenomenal indeed.

who produces more meth per capita i wonder. I mean oklahoma may have more meth heads, but Im willing to bet that a georgian uses more meth on a daily basis.

I have to give Florida the nod in terms of trash per capita.
When it was pointed out that Georgians were moving to Florida in droves following World War II, Georgia governor Eugene Talmadge said, “That’s okay, it’s boosted the average IQ of both states by 25 points!”

Dude, Brian, thank you for finding the link to the old Badical Industries page. Do they still show up every Friday with ridiculous shit? I’ve still got the flyer about Mexican “fun-facts” somewhere.
“Anyone who has stepped foot on the fine campus of Americas oldest chartered University and witnessed the beauty of our fish would know we only serve up the finest marine cuisine.”
You’re saying what we already know… everyone in Athens has crabs.

I know two people who were accepted to GA Tech and not to UF. Both ended up going to UCF.

Brian, I believe I did miss your analogy, but it’s mostly because of my blind raving rage over perceiving your disrespect of the catfish.
