I mean, what are the chances of doubling up like that? John in a million?

Isn't that tripling up?

Were you born in Texas? You may be the most exceptional.

Know which country is most definitely not exceptional? Finland. Know why? Bc when I was a kid there was this professional wrassler who purported to be from Finland and he would say things like "you know what USA stands for? U Stink Alot" and even though everyone would chant USA USA, Lex Luger just couldn't seem to beat him and I was like oh man DIE IN A FIRE EVERYONE FROM FINLAND

It would be interesting to understand how much human aid per capita they provided. Probably their downfall. @KSUw, can you do some research on this?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

Did most of the former CSA states have such similar flags before the war or were they adopted after?

Mississippi repealed their flag in 1908 but re adopted it in 2011.

crap like this ...



which kicks tons of ass.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I've seen variations of that shirt before, but that one looks both handsome and comfortable.  Where can I buy it?
