Some thoughts..

Maryland terrapins.. you're breaking my heart.
And now you Carolina??? Seriously..

Grown men giving each other the "thumbs up" makes me uncomfortable.

Fun Fact: When it comes to Border Security there are two terms for potential violators: Mexicans and OTM (Other Than Mexicans).
That doesn't sound very official:
"Excuse me sir, What are the greatest challenges to border management?"
"Well, see, first you got Mexicans.. and then you have the uhh... not-Mexicans."
awesome government terminology.

I love when the top headlines of the day on Yahoo read:

12 Died in Baghdad Bombing
Terrorist Plot Unveiled
Trouble Still Brewing About Port Security
Two Runners Die in LA Marathon
Jenny Garth pregnant with Third Child

Yeah, Kelly Taylor getting knocked up again seems equally newsworthy.

New British Slang: "Try It On" Example: On St. Patrick's Day my friend's left to go to another bar for a bit, and I was left alone with a nice but very touchy feely gentleman (we were all wasted and I'm not sure if I even knew that they had left). When my friend Lucy left the bar she asked her friend if I would be alright with "John". Her friend replied, "He's a nice guy. He'll probably try it on, but she'll be fine."
Apparently, it's a very common phrase.. but think about how dirty that sounds.

Sounds like an interesting St. Patty's day. I miss the drinking. And sorry you got stuck with "touchy feely guy". I've been known to be one of those when i'm drunk, and i've been told how annoying it can be.
