My father's high school was the "Tar Babies."



I think they changed it to Tigers in the 70s.

Liberal Unfriendly Place: Peoria, IL



From the Pekin, Il link. I find this hilarious, especially because about 80% of the gay men in Chicago grew up in Peoria. Something in the water there, I guess.

I don't know how long it will last. It's not PC to have an indian name unless you're a casino. The Mass Turnpike had to take the arrow out of the pilgrim hat on their logo.

I asked C to pick me up some throw-away undershirts for my argentina trip in January. She accidentally bought ribbed, v-neck tank tops.



I told her I would wear them, but I would have to hit her each time.

I'm from SC. We make Alabama look progressive.





My school mascot was the Gamec0ck. Always abbreviated "c0ck."



We have bumper stickers that say "You can't lick our C0cks!" and "Our c0cks are too hard to beat!"
