Top 10 Things That Happened to Nick in Athens

another from Scott: my comments in black
10. Found out that tapping his razor on the side of the shower to remove the prodigious amounts of hair grossed out Julie

9. Made that slaw dog crap that looked like throwup - that was called dog vomit
8. Short-sheeted our low riders - only Scott had a low-rider
7. Dominated everyone at Sega Basketball and RJB - I do not agree with this assessment - Nick was the Master of GB, but only a Champion at RJB
6. Quit drinking/smoking
5. Started drinking/smoking - and cursing
4. Got a law degree
3. Did not sleep with Heather or Michelle, thus being the only person on this email thread who didn't. Except for Tom. - and Russ
2. Protected his sister's honor but not his mother's honor - thank goodness
1. Ran over 2 old people wearing dark clothing who were jay walking

Top 10 Things That Happened in Athens While We Were There:

#7-10 submitted by Scott:
10. Impromptu parade downtown when the Braves went to the World Series.
9. UGA hoops won SEC regular season title
8. Circle the Wagons ran with the Hellboys for a half
7. Scott dunked
6. Russ stole the "No Dunking" sign - Nick's favorite sign acquisition
5. Russ and Bill were cornered in a bathroom/shower facility at a State Park in Blue Ridge by a policeman who was investigating suspicious activity and missing signs in the area. (note: due to our MacGyver craftiness and ninja-like reflexes we were able to avoid apprehension)
4. OMAHA, you dumbass. UGA won the 1990 Baseball NC (this is only #4, because as I stated in earlier emails, the #1 is always anti-climatical - credit to Ed White for noticing this Top 10 anomoly)
3. I stole the UGA/Rice volleyball sign setting off a chain of events that would culminate 6 months later in me hanging an orange SALE sign out of the window prompting a warning from Ken Goyan, Head of UGA Housing (a person whom I was familiar with due to an earlier instance involving UGA housing...)
2. Russ threw a beer can out of the window in the direction of Christina Terry (Pres Student Judiciary), causing her to utter the accusation, "it squirted on me" at the judiciary hearing - certainly not the first time this accusation was leveled towards a male freshman at UGA

1. Hank Gathers died.

Top 10 Bands I Liked As A Kid, But Are Now Totally Gay

1. Chicago
2. Air Supply - OK, I thought they were gay then, but I loved that Makin' Love Out Of Nothing At All song - especially the part about "I can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle, I can make all the stadiums rock..." - yes very gay, but still rockin'
3. REO Speedwagon - they may be gay, but I still listen to my REO Speedwagon CD on occasion. Man, I'm glad I purchased that REO Speedwagon CD, The Hits. That was one of my best purchases ever. So long ago, but I oddly still specifically remember purchasing it from the record store - not stealing it from Tom (also along with the James Taylor CD, which I also purchased and did not steal from Tom when he lived at Whitehall with Bill and Nick).
4. Genesis - my first concert - gay.
