Some things I\'m thankful for...

1. My faith, family, and country (though flawed, it still pretty much kicks ass, relatively). I fought for it once many, many years ago and, I reckon I would do it again, although it's pretty ugly business overall. I never thought I would feel that way for about 35 years. We could do a lot worse.

2. A crisp Saturday afternoon when the Wrek and the Jackets exit the tunnel. Man, that sets me on fire and I wouldn't trade my degree for 3 Ivy League diplomas.

3. Buzz eating a baby's head. That never fells to crack me up.

4. Telling my son about "back in the day" when I was at Mother Tech.

5. Screaming "bust their ass" between cheers of "DEFENSE...DEFENSE."

6. Any misfortune befalling the dawgs - ANY!!!! - hey, it's my thankful list and I'm sticking to it. You can write your own.

7. Some truly clever stuff here on Stingtalk. And when we lose, the sort of group-hug that only men in an on-line, impersonal message board can participate in - good times.

8. The Hotties.

9. Did I mention the Hotties?

10. Knowing that despite long odds, the good guys sometimes win.

I hope each and every one of you and your loved ones have a blessed, wonderful Christmas.

GO JACKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (bust their ass)

My Tech list

1) Picking up the paper after a Tech football win combined with a UGAg football loss. Especially if we beat them. We'll do it next year.

2) The Wreck riding around before the game blowing the horn. The Wreck leading the band down the hill. The Wreck busting through the banner at the beginning of the game. Best symbol in college football.

3) Being from a "mostly" GT family. Although, cousin did marry a UGAg guy that has a dog named "Dooley" that he calls its name about every 3 seconds.

4) Having a wife that puts up with me. She doesn't understand why I care so much about Tech football - or even care about football for that matter.

5) Knowing that we are coming back around and that I will not be getting on the bandwagon, I've been there 40 years.

You too Archi. Well said!

By the way, your posts crack me up. I mean laugh old loud crack me up. The subtle, non conforming adult humor of some of your stuff is classic.
The one that comes to mind at the moment was some of your comments about the body paint at the halloween game! Thank you. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hugelaugh.gif

Faith, Family, Friends, Health and Happiness.

These things I thank the Lord for in prayer every morning.
