Death today....

[dwivian]

Just got the news that UGA VI, the mascot for The University of Georgia, died last night.

Today, someone has been killed at Six Flags over Georgia.

I think I'll stay at home. Unless this next storm comes along and knocks over a tree on my house!

I have a cute little ceramic UGA from when our yearbook staff visited their newspaper office back during my senior year. Even though I went to Tech I'll always like the Bulldogs. How can you not like a school that trains future vets and farmers?

I mean, I don't think that any mentally stable rival of UGA could go without feeling bad for the (temporary) loss of their mascot (especially the family who cared for the doggy).

Fortunately, like The Doctor, they'll soon enough have a new drooling mass of wobbly flesh panting furiously under the hot sun while veterinarians and FFA reps run around throwing the football, worshipped by good, simple, hardworking people.

It may be exasperatingly provincial, but if it glues a people together, it's good enough for me.

(Bye Bye UGA!!)
