You’re a good guy. We appreciate sanity and people who love sports.

A quick story. I was at FSU’s first trip to Death Valley as an ACC member. FSU fans were blown away by the hospitality. Most claimed they were used to fighting their way out of parking lots and were the focus of vitriol and hate. They couldn’t believe that almost every tailgate they passed they were offered food or a beer and genuine great conversation. That’s the Clemson way. We understand everyone can’t be a Tiger. We also take pride in being gentlemen and gentlewomen.

My Mom Would Do That

Sep 27, 2024, 11:51 AM [ in reply to Re: Mine did sometimes in great frustration. ]

…for extreme transgressions. Make us go get the switch, that is. My brother and I once did something or other that made us both eligible, and she sent us out to get switches. My brother brought in the tiniest thing he could find, while I chose a hefty stick as thick as my wrist. When we came in, to my delight, Mom burst out laughing at mine, while applying the whip-like twig to my brother with gusto. One of my favorite memories - my brother remembers it too, but not as a favorite, haha.

For the record, I didn’t carry this tradition forward with my kids, and they turned out great. But it was what it was back in the day, and I turned out okay too.

Another thought about "swanny."

Sep 27, 2024, 7:41 AM

Being from South Georgia, for years I assumed "swanny" was referring to the Suwanee River. Never understood how "I swanny to goodness" ever became a saying.

It's a gentle person's way of avoiding "I swear to God!" Think "darn it, son of a biscuit..."

17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. 19 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed.

20 That, however, is not the way of life you learned 21 when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. 26 “In your anger do not sin”[d]: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27 and do not give the devil a foothold. 28 Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.

29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Ephesians 4

This passage reminds me of BretCU!
