I dont think its a southern thang to call pop. Down here everything is "Get me a Coke", no matter what you drink.

Mr. D: "Haber!!! What's this jello shot thing on your list?"
Haber: "Mr. D, jello shots is just an offshoot from bags, one of those games that college kids do".
Mr. D: "Oh alright, sounds like fun, I'll sign off on this thing just this once. I'm keeping my eye on you Haber".


I'm jealous I won't be there.

awesome idea question is who is going to pick up Downes?

Chuck 'bags' is similar to 'washers' horse shoes but you're throwing bean backs at a box with a hole cut in it.

Tim this is really going to happen? Remember you talking about it a couple weeks back.

"Bags"? Wow, and I thought I'd seen it all when I watched a group of people play "Bunghole Golf." It's when you put a quarter between your upper legs,
and try to drop it into a shot glass. It's funnier than hell to watch. And yes, people do have their clothes on.

I had never heard anybody use "pop" instead of soda until I met Hooves. Sounds a little fruity to me.

Haber,

I hope you get ti to work, and I think you're on the right track by offering discounted prices on everything. Canterbury has "buck night" on Thursday, where everything except beer (beer is still discounted) is only $1. Admission, hot dogs, pop, programs, etc. It realy attracts a "young" crowd on that night. Sittin out in the grandstand for eye-candy alone is almost worth it lol. So yeah, I think you're going in the right direction for the way to get students here, but YOU STILL NEED PROMOTION!!!!
