Half-baked.
Reading the article, I found this quote:
"There needs to be a plan where everybody is included," said Lajuana Richardson of Hattiesburg at the No Not Now headquarters Tuesday night in Hattiesburg. "And it expands beyond just east Hattiesburg. You're talking about producing $12 million for athletic facilities when we still have so many Hattiesburg residents unemployed. So let's take $12 million and produce some jobs."
Of course, $12 million worth of construction projects on USM athletic facilities might have created a few jobs...

Emma, I believe you've become as cryptic as Chess, our seer from the old Fire Shelby board.
Speaking of my warped sense of humor, this has little to do with SFT's attitude but I've intended to bring it up (no pun intended) for some time. When I first began reading the old Fire Shelby board I was baffled by the many references to Shelby Thames and his near obsessive preoccupation with ED. Not knowing what the initials represented, and given my predisposition to think in medical terms, I assumed that Shelby was afflicted with the Bob Dole syndrome, Erectile Dysfunction. Now each time I see Shelby Thames mentioned in conjunction with ED, well, it's just an image I'd rather not entertain.....

I'll be delighted to have ANYTHING that replaces the Phoenix ads.

Dear Sir:
As you may know, I carefully monitor the AAUP message board for accuracy on behalf of the USM administration. Earlier today, in describing yourself, I believe you charitably suggested that you were not mean-spirited. Yet you suggest here, in a transparent attempt to heap ridicule upon Dr. Thames, that he suffers from an emasculating condition. Since reading your allegation I have conferred with Dr. Thames. He wishes to assure all message board readers that he is not only free of erectile dysfunction, but is in fact a red-blooded American male of legendary virility. Moreover, any further assertions to the contrary will be treated as libelous, and appropriate legal remedies will be pursued with dispatch and vigor.

Dr. Goebbels,
I understand your position, I think. May I quote sources unrelated to Dr. Thames or USM?

Ooooh, you poor thing. Thanks for the warning. I'll stay away from mango shakes; coffee is hard enough to deal with. Thankfully I wasn't drinking any when I read AE's post - it was definitely a spitter-outer kind of laugh provoker!
