i need to NOT live in this shitville po'dunk hoosier town anymore...ever...

someone fund me to move to nashville!

like NOWWWWW!

man, i feel your pain. I, too, live in a city that fucking sucks ass. its called memphis. everywhere here is ghetto and everywhere you go you've got a pretty good chance of getting shot for no good reason. no bands ever come here and the bands that are from here, for the most part suck. I am also surrounded by racist scary frat boys. the only thing to do here is drink, which seems like another thing we have in common . . .

ooooooooohh, actually i think i'd rather live in clarksville than memphis...

cause i'm not trying to be mugged or rraped

or killed...

i know you were drunk when you made the post, but what did you mean when you called clarksville a "hoosier" town?

Clarksville is home to the brilliant New Korean Restaurant. mmmmmm. I'm getting hungry just thinking about the Bul Go Gi or the Kim Chee and the great Korean music that they play.

when i hear the word hoosier, i always think backwoods. so that's what i meant it as...even though like there are Tons of uses for the word apparently.

Hoosiers - a hell of a movie!

I happen to be a Hoosier. From the "backwoods" of Indiana. Amber waves of corn.

I went to college in southern Indiana and, despite the fact that I had friends that went to IU, I came to hate the Hoosiers as a whole. Mostly it was because the town I was in (3 or 4 hours from Bloomington) supported IU more than they supported their local college. Then, I came to grad school at Vandy where everyone waves the Orange and White flag. Dammit!

carligula, UT is Tennessee's school because it is actually attended by mostly Tennesseans, I'd bet that less than 20% of Vandy's student body is from our state.

Biting tongue and getting down off the soapbox as to why that is...

Yeah, actually, Mike, I'd say that that number is more like 2 to 5%. Oh well. It's a prestigious school, what are you gonna do?

I love Vandy, Carl, and always have.

In addition to Mike's point, I'll add that there is a widespread perception among the general public in Middle Tennessee that Vanderbilt is comprised entirely of snooty rich kids who think that they're too good for everyone else.

Also, their football team has been a joke for 20 years.

Finally, people everywhere generally always support the state school over any given private school. You shouldn't be offended by it. The average man just tends to take pride in seeing the name of his beloved state on his bumper sticker and his koozie, rather than seeing the name of some dead white benefactor.

the same goes for my school. I've been told lately that everyone who goes to Rhodes is crazy, rich and snooty. ...bastards.

And now, here's Tom Foolery with today's obligatory Simpson's reference.

"We're Cyanide, a loving tribute to Poison."

Join us tomorrow for a humorous quote from Apu.

You make some very valid points JC, but I'm far from being a rich kid. In fact, in grad school it's different because they pay poor kids like me to go to their school.

The snooty part is right, though. I am too good for everyone else.

you can say that again.

me too. what's your hometown. mine's a small hamlet outside of evansville known as huntingburg. i'm assuming you're familiar with the stench of pig farms.

The snooty part is right, though. I am too good for everyone else.

I went to UE for 4 years, but I never heard of that one. Must have been really small...

well played my friend.
