Our Hero....

If you have ever been to Columbia's Five Points area or even the Richland County Library you most likely have seen 'our hero'...Jerimiah. He is our 'homeless' friend who we sometime donate money, drinks or food too. His most famous quote is "Let me hold a dollar..." or "aaaahhhhhhhh" or will simply talk in tongues to you as you pass. He is the world record holder for attendance at 21st birthday parties and once when to the library for 3 years without reading a book (would be a record but I think Penny may have him beat here). I could go on and on about this great man in Columbia but I want you to check him out yourself. It seems he has learned something by going to the library and that is how to use myspace.com......

Anyone have any good stories about 'our hero' that you want to share???

We would like to welcome the advice guy

So as my blog grows, my staff and I have decided to open a new forum to the blog. A question and answer type of blog (some would even call it a Dear Abbey) that allows you the fans to write in and ask questions. The Advice Guy will then research the question and give you some wise advice, might not be what you are looking for but it will at least be somewhat helpful. Questions like: “Why does cheap bourbon give me such a bad hangover the next day?” or how about “what is the best way to trick my girlfriend into having anal sex?” The Advice guy is here to answer all of your questions, so feel free to get this party started.

Anyone need a bumper sticker....

I recently came across this bumper sticker and after reading the other site....... thought it summed up all the recent news with the true "crazy dick."

USC Athletic Dept asks "Let me hold a dollar..."

I found the article in The State paper today about the likelihood of USC football tickets increasing to be interesting. I will be the first to say that we need better facilities on campus especially for our "other sports teams." But I find it hard to understand how for the last 5+ years we have set record numbers with gamecock club dues and have "sold out" nearly every game since 1998. Where has this money been going??? Not too mention every year since 1997 there has been a tuition increase (which a portion does go to the athletic dept).....Now do not get me wrong...I will be 'bending over' come June and signing up for season football tickets again and have already signed up for another year of half scholarship gamecock club dues (ouch!).......

My wish is that all this money going into the athletic program will produce three things for 2006-2007......

• USC basketball to win 25 games in 2007...('06 seems out of the question)
• USC football to win 9 games and make a run for the SEC East in '06-'07
• USC Baseball team (which is getting a new stadium in '07) to return to the NCAA tourney in Nebraska for 2006 and 2007

I feel none of this is too much to ask for as a investor and may I mention the staff of this blog does bleed garnet!
