Your RBR Word of the Day:

shibboleth \SHIB-uh-lith; -leth\ , noun:
1. A peculiarity of pronunciation, behavior, mode of dress, etc., that distinguishes a particular group of persons.
2. A slogan; a catchword.
3. A common saying or belief with little current meaning or truth.
Though the SEC is known for "dressing up" for gameday, shibboleths like houndstooth at Alabama, red pants in Georgia, and jorts in Florida keep it unique and team focused.

Is that Paris Hilton on the right?
After spending seven wondrous years in the state of Alabama, never in my life have I seen fans, who claim to be loyal to one team, spend more time AUbsessing over the other more so than they do their very own.

Gee, I don't know bammer?
I most certainly wouldn’t grab the remote if they undressed. (I already undressed them with my eyes)
And I for sure wouldn’t kick either of ’em outta bed for jumping up and down, causing a ruckus. (Ruckus is my middle name, but . . . my mama still just calls me “Boy!”)
I think I might be a skank?

That's RIGHT!
(and I thank you AGAIN for that stellar pic of those bedazzling mammaries!!!! yah-uh! boyyyyyy!)
And, uh. . . .NO.
She never really responded to my halfway serious suggestion. (more serious, than not serious). I didn’t pursue anything further, for two reasons:
1. I am currently “involved” with a wonderful woman. Dating her for @9 months now.
2. I didn’t wanna appear to be a “cyber-stalker”. Although I truly think she’s a beauty, even before I saw the pic you so wonderfully put up over at CC.
BTW: Daryl Clark looks scary good this year. I wonder who’s gonna have a better year- Pryor or Clark? To be sure, we’ll try to put the clamps down on Pryor in order to help out Clark. If you didn’t read it before- I think the world of the Nittany Lions. Those boys are true footballers in the most serious and complimentary way. Good luck to you guys this year!

Thanks, dude
Good luck this year. Maybe we’ll meet again this postseason (and hopefully put forth a better performance).
