"SEC, this is what a library looks like" - Stephen Oct 13, 07:55 3
- the obvious counter would be to have an SEC team show Notre Dame a sign that says "this is what a championship looks like" -- nm - i'm not Undead yet ! Oct 13, 07:56 2
  - Relevance -- nm - David Oct 13, 08:12 1

If you want your opinion record on the wiki, here are your Viking choices: - mara Oct 13, 07:43 12
- option 1 and option 3 - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 13, 08:43
- Ralph, being literal, dreams of being a Viking. However, I love that the phrase has morphed into "being good at". -- nm - TWuG Oct 13, 08:03 2
  - So when Ralph said "This tastes like Grandma" he was remembering the time he ate his Grandma's corpse? - Roger More Oct 13, 08:28 1
    - or just when he has kissed his grandma -- nm - dogbert: sole survivor Oct 13, 08:40
- I am on team Ralph dreams of being a Viking. - Krusty Oct 13, 08:02
- I am on team... - Stephen Oct 13, 08:00
- I don't remember my password, but I am on team - kelly Oct 13, 07:55 2
  - (This is the right team.) -- nm - JaxS3an Oct 13, 07:58
  - Gotcha! -- nm - mara Oct 13, 07:56
- "record" was supposed to be "recorded" -- nm - mara Oct 13, 07:43 2
  - Just here in this post or everywhere? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 13, 07:44 1
    - Heh. -- nm - mara Oct 13, 07:46
we have a wiki page for that? Huh. - JaxS3an Oct 13, 07:33 8
- Not its own page, but it's in the glossary. -- nm - mara Oct 13, 07:35 3
  - Hmm, maybe it needs its own page. -- nm - mara Oct 13, 07:54 2
    - I agree with this -- nm - prayformojo Oct 13, 08:05 1
      - I need to re-acquaint myself with the structure of the wiki first, but I might do that later. -- nm - mara Oct 13, 08:10
- I don't know what the password is for changing, but I thought that list was a lot more developed - prayformojo Oct 13, 07:34 3

Story that won't die: Chick-fil-a franchises in Chamblee, GA selling party trays "Only a fruitcake wouldn't love." Fruitcake = so 10 years ago -- (link) - MDH Oct 13, 06:48 7
- Odd. I was unaware "fruitcake" was a derogatory term applied to homosexuals. It's only ever meant "crazy person" to me. -- nm - TWuG Oct 13, 07:02 2
  - As nubby mentioned below, maybe it's a northern thing, but "fruit," "fruitcake" etc were derogatory towards gays when I was in middle school -- nm - MDH Oct 13, 07:12 1
    - Fruit definitely, but I hadn't heard fruitcake before. There are plenty of entries on urbandictionary that confirm what you're saying though -- nm - Roger More Oct 13, 07:17
- Hang on a minute. Where I'm from, that's an old-timey phrase for a generic crazy person, not a homosexual. - nubby Oct 13, 07:01 3
  - I've heard it used both ways but mostly as a derogatory term for a gay person. -- nm - Krusty Oct 13, 08:20
  - Yes, this is true. "Only a crazy person would love fruitcake." is what the sign should say. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 08:18
  - Yeah, same here. -- nm - kelly Oct 13, 07:46
