I say –I say, we’re headed down to South Carolina for a few days.

Two of the Ten and thier consorts are headed down South this wekeend to reconnect with one of our founding members who relocated there a few years ago. So yes, after a week in which we had no postings, we’re about to take another weekend off. Deal with it.

Last time we were in South Carolina was 2002. The first anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks had just passed, the Department of Homeland Security was officially established, and Lance Armstrong had not yet met Matthew McConaughey.

Now, four years later, we’re going back. Look for a recap when we return sometime next week. In the meantime, here’s everything we learned about S. Carolina during our last trip down South:

1. Its’ located somewhere between Washington DC, and Venezuela.

2.
Has a sense of humor about the Civil War the way we had a sense of humor
about Game 6 of the 1986 World Series.

3. The "Famous Synagogues
of the South" tour takes 7 minutes.

4. Southern girls are
as nice as Eastern girls are mean.

5. They love
Vittles.

6. 80% of the population hears the name "Starbucks"
and thinks it is a character from Battlestar Galactica

7. Southerners are real stu -

Hold on, turns out we’re headed to NORTH Carolina, Not South Carolina. Specifically, Morrisville NC, only about 68 miles below South Boston

Never been to North Carolina before, but we’re told its just like SC only there aren’t as many plantations and it’s filled with expatriates from Massachusetts.
