Warning: Some Violence and Much Strong Language.SHE WROTE: Things I Learned in South Carolina
1. The Columbia Airport is the best in the country. Rocking chairs and Krispy Kremes and lots of light and fast check-in and out. And really good architecture.
2. It's really, really nice when a man says "ma'am" to the woman ringing up his newspaper purchase.
3. Debby Johnson makes the best gator sluts EVER.
4. Never post a blog entry when you're so mad you want to kill somebody.
5. The South Carolina Book Festival is proof that you can have nice people who are also efficient and organized.
6. When being teased by Southerners, never say, "Hey, we won."

Please Please post a pic of gator slut, er, I mean Angelian Reptile. Must see her.
Did I miss a post-rant? Bummer.
Was it a Bob rant?
I think the Bobster has gone into exile, the cave where all good men slink off to and contemplate a proposal. Oh yeah, I'm a romance writer, that's the black moment. Oh, my God! She said committment!!!!! Hee, hee!
Now about the pig pickin's. I worked at Duke Univ Med Centre in the late seventies (dating myself here) and there was a fellow R.N. who made a "to die for" pig pickin's cake. All I can remember is lots of pineapple and cream. I'd love that recipe. Would probably have a gall bladder attack from eating it, but who cares. Honest it was better than wine, better than chocolate, not quite as good as sex, but hey, who's fussy these days ...
Oh damn, damn, damn. I missed the angry blog. That's what I get for being a morning person instead of a night owl.
LOL: I lived in South Carolina for three years many moons ago and chuckled gleefully at #6. You can't say we won since the war really isn't over!
Ah, so it wasn't my computer.
I saw the angry blog.
I didn't think it was so bad. Just someone over-tired and over-stressed having a long day. Geez sounds like my world.......
Actually, it was rather funny and honest.
You know if you keep being honest and admitting to making mistakes we're going to realize you are human as opposed to the Goddess like state we currently hold you in. After all you (along with Bob) are "Maker of Moot" and not everyone can be responsible for the creation of a whole new genre of alligator slut literature. Have a Krispy Kreme for me.
I also saw the angry blog. And yes, it was funny and honest and yes, you did sound tired and very stressed but I have to say that I did feel for Bob.
Still, in the end though, no harm done, right? Everybody forgives everybody and then tomorrow is another day, although wasn't that Georgia? And at least you had a good time in South Carolina with Angelina Reptile apart from that. Sounds like a good trip to me.
6. And as a recent mock-umentary demonstrates, it is not all that clear anyway. the North may have won the war, but the South seems to have won the peace.
Gator Slut Lit? How long till someone writes a Ph.D. thesis on this for a degree in Popular Culture?
Um, never say #6 here! My Mom was from "Up North", so I'm excused for my belief that the good guys one. Living in the South has it's little quirks. At least you discovered a few of the fun ones. Krispy Kreme are the BEST!
(Brandy, a South Carolina Girl) Oh, hey, did any one introduce you to GRITS or grits?
I do believe there's a cake with lots of pineapple and whipped cream called "The Better Than Sex Cake." I shall hunt...
Some have proclaimed my double-chocolate brownies better than sex. That's either a great compliment for my baking or a sad commentary on lovers. *g*
Or both!
In my family, we call it the "Unpleasentaries Between the States" since my father's side fought on both sides. Needless to say its still a sour spot. :-)
Anytime you have an area that was utterly defeated, sent packing with heads hanging AND some ppl misunderstand what the average soldier was really fighting for... yes, it IS going to be a sore spot. In my home state? We're fond of saying, 'Hey, we were neutral.'
What does THAT tell you? ;-)
