Hey, how'd *you know about that? Well, now that you've gone and spilled the grits, let me just add that this particular harvest festival at UGA is cheered on by screams of "Go Dawgs!" It's a Southern-fried variation on those Oxford Dons and the boys dancing naked in the moonlight on cross-quarterWhitAutumnSamhain. But don't tell anybody *that part.
Samhain. You have that word in the States???! Samhain (pronounced Sow-ann) is Irish fro November. Oíche (ee-hah) Samhain is the night before November. Yep, you've guessed it. Hallowe'en. Ties in nicely with your strange, Southern pagan rituals. Kind of spooky, too. ;^)

The caption competition in the UK Times this Saturday had Bush meeting the Pope. The Pope for some reason has his hand over his face, and the caption (supplied by a reader) is Bush saying " So you're a Pole. North or South?"
Fairly or not, that is his reputation. Rod

I saw the same picture, but the caption was "Oh SHIT! He's even dumber than I thought!"
