    Does Georgia have Alabama hangover, and get hammered by Michigan? Or

    Georgia will beat Michigan by about two or three touchdowns as Michigan will not run on them.

    Am I the only one who does not follow music AT ALL?

    Over the years my wife and I amassed a huge collection of classical music on cds and that still rests in a room in my house. I have not listened to music since I was in my fifties, and I think my wife quit much later but she quit also nevertheless. Have no idea why either one of us gave up a...

    OT: SC's Most "Idiotic" Dish

    That brings back a memory. My mother, who was raised on a farm in Abbeville County in the early 1900s, used to tell me about poke sallet and how great it was. I don't think that we kids ever ate any although we had lots of other salad greens over the years.

    OT: SC's Most "Idiotic" Dish

    There is a very well known restaurant in Paris which is called, "Au Pied du Cochon", and the specialty is pig's feet. Have dined there many times over the years.

    OT: SC's Most "Idiotic" Dish

    The French make tripe into a lovely dish...tripe a la mode de caen. My mother made tripe which she bought in a can and fried it and it was a dinner for us on many occasions. Quite different from what the French could do with it.

    OT: SC's Most "Iconic" Dish

    You want me to go back over 60 years. I remember that Slick Pitts had a Texaco station on Main Street in Clinton. But it was his brothers or relatives who had another on the edge of Clinton on the road to Greenwood and they made the stew. Slick had an ever present cigar in his mouth.

    OT: SC's Most "Iconic" Dish

    I grew up in Laurens County a long time ago and I remember as well the catfish stew that the Pitts boys brewed in the black iron pot behind their Texaco service station. I think that they fortified it with goat.

    OT: Bowater plant stinking up the Rock Hill area

    As I remember Bowater was the first foreign corporation allowed to own land in South Carolina, or at least a substantial amount of land. At the time (probably in the fifties or early sixties) the limit for foreign ownership was around 5 acres or so. Since Bowater wished to purchase and own its...

    OT: SC's Most "Iconic" Dish

    Here I have been thinking for 60 years that the iconic dish of South Carolina is she crab soup. Even Nero Wolfe proclaimed that South Carolina was one of (I think) two states that had an authentic cuisine and he named she crab soup as one of its genuine dishes. I can't remember which novel the...

    OT: Any of y'all ever win money in the lottery or any other expensive or cool prize? A buddy of mine...

    Many years ago a friend of mine won the Portugese lottery for around $100,000. Really nice prize but the kicker was that he could not take the money out of the country. So he bought a small place on the beach somewhere....can't remember where.

    When was the first time you attended a Gamecock Football game at WB or Carolina Stadium?

    Must have been 54 or 55, my brother took me to the game and we watched Alex Hawkins and King Dixon run all over Clemson. I was just a kid but I knew King before as I had seen him run for a touchdown against my Clinton team in Laurens the year or so before.

    OT: Smells that are pleasing.

    Having been born and raised in the upcountry must agree about the smell of cedar. Always meant Christmas to me. And since I grow them and nobody has even mentioned them there are roses, one of the finest and cleanest fragrances on earth.

    OT: I've never tried caviar or lobster. Are they good? What are some other fancy foods or drinks someone with a white trash upbringing like me...

    Yes, I have, as have lived in many countries and worked in even more of them. Am quite old now so am finishing my days here in South Carolina which is not bad at all, but the food is way down on the list of the best in the world by a long way.

    OT: I've never tried caviar or lobster. Are they good? What are some other fancy foods or drinks someone with a white trash upbringing like me...

    In my travels I had sushi at what was supposed to be the best sushi place in Japan. It was in Osaka, and this was in the 1980s. The restaurant was immaculate and the Japanese customers seemed to avoid we two Americans with our Japanese friend/translator, but not obviously so. The items on...

    I think your Uncle Marvin was a genuine gourmet. I have to try the onion as never thought of that. I do use real French mustard on the sardines...the Dijon kind.

    OT: Do you know anyone that is illiterate?

    My father was born in 1895 and attended a one room school through the 4th grade. I thought that he was better educated than the high school students that I went to school with in the fifties. I have since come to think that he was better educated than college students of today. He quit school to...
