> \*\*Nah. Sounded like a Molly Ivins reference to me; she’s always using some phrase in a foreign language (usually French) and following that with “as they say in Lubbock.” You know, as in “Au contraire, as they say in Lubbock.” I wouldn’t worry overmuch. 🙂 \*\*

Well, call me whooshed, but that’s good. No offense to anyone here who’s an occupant of those cities, but if even an atom of my long-decayed corpse whiffed past Buttock or Armadillo at ninety miles an hour, I’d be pissed.

And everyone knows that there’s nothing worse than a pissed, long-decayed atheist’s corpse.

> I know this is a very unscientific means of survery, but on Fark we’ve noticed the same thing for quite a long time. It’s gotten so bad that people are continuously asking the admins for a “Florida” tag for the links to go along with the standard “Dumbass”, “Stupid”, “Asinine”, “Amusing”, etc.

Well, congratulations! [Fark](http://www.fark.com) has made a Florida tag, for all of your [Florida mocking](http://sterlingsnote.cjb.net) needs.

You Floridians should be proud. I’m thinking of using my Blogger account to chronicle the comedy from the place.
