For Nashville
NashVegas: Our fine city
BOO Lee Vard: Wide traffic throughfare
Meat n' thray: Restaurant offering of a slab of flesh and 3 sides
Vandyland: Area surrounding Vanderbilt University
Music City: That's us
The King: He was born near here
The Nunbun: Local sticky bun that resembled Mother Theresa
Batman Building: Our skyscraper
From thisislondon.com -- Heros and Wimps After the Attacks
Apparently, I qualified as a hero and didn't even know it... listed under the heros: "Everyone who has flown in a plane since 11 September. They may not consider themselves to be heroes, but they have got on with their lives in a quiet, dignified manner and not given way to their fears."
But what I found hilarious was the first one listed under Wimps. I make my hatred for Oasis a secret to no one, so this was great. "Liam Gallagher -- The Oasis frontman has vowed never to visit the US again, after the atrocities. He said: 'I'm never going to America again, man. And I ain't getting on a plane for a while.' America's gain is our loss." Hats off to the Brit who wrote that!
Song for the Day:
Hey, Jude - The Beatles
~~And any time you feel the pain, hey, Jude, refrain
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
Well don't you know that its a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder~~
