NC Butt Blast 2016

@Foghorn, I sure hope you can make it!  I'm sorry you had to attend Duke. Not everyone has the privilege of going to UK.  Great you invoke UCLA since Duke isn't good enough!  Seriously, this is shaping up to be a great event.  I look forward to meeting you all, and eating well.

Will there be corn-holing at this butt blast?!

My cabin is booked. 3 left yesterday afternoon. 2 nights.. $90, no cancelation. 

@DMW and I are taking the top bunk... 

@henapple - I took the liberty of inviting Caitlyn Jenner, said you'd either have an extra bunk or you could share... Hope you don't mind.

Does that mean we'll be tucked away in a cabin?

I just booked campsite #11 for Friday and Saturday

@bgebrent, I had to invoke UCLA or UNC.  Duke can't possibly catch the schools ahead of it on the all-time wins list or all-time championships list because the priorities are different.  Duke's #1 priority is education. 

(For some reason, my computer will only add emojis at the beginning of a post)

@Foghorn, point taken. At UK they educated us on how to make our computers put emojis where we choose.

@bgebrent, touché.  Of course when I took computer science as a freshman we had to program with punch cards.  Then I switched majors.

A quality education in Kentucky? That's funny! 

bgebrent

Cmon brother Double!  It's the student not the school.  Got me into Vande for doctoral work so not too shabby.
@Foghorn, you opened that door wide open my friend.  I couldn't resist. I too worked with punch cards, albeit in high school.  Hope to meet you in N.C. Or N. GA.

@bgebrent, yes I did.  And likewise.  It's all in good fun.  Besides, at this point you and I can have a healthy debate about academics and athletics while all the Tarheels have to sit by meekly and quietly and wait for the subject to change.

bgebrent

@Foghorn, OUTSTANDING!  

DoubleEgger

We might suck at sports but nobody questions academics at Ga Tech! 

bgebrent

@DoubleEgger, GT rocks without doubt!  Some of the undergrad depts. and grad programs would surprise you with the quality and talent.  Not all but many.  And the bball players are not there for an academic education.  Same everywhere.

We should let this thread get back to its purpose. Looking forward to the NC Butt Blast!

Foghorn

Yes.  It's unlikely, but I will do what I can to get there.

It would be great to have you down my friend!

pgprescott

I have heard that if you consume too many ABTs you will get the true Butt Blast. 

pgprescott

Also PBR and Shlitz. Oooooh

JohnInCarolina

I might have to do these - still pork so I think it's kosher (ahem)

tarheelmatt

Dang @JohnInCarolina , those look fantastic.  

tarheelmatt

I'm really drawing blanks on what to cook. 

theyolksonyou

@tarheelmatt you could be like @henapple he didn't cook a thing at his party. He did however inadvertently fill my rambler with PBR. 

I'm already thinking of a few things. 

bgebrent

@Tarheelmatt, so many options!  Granted you can't cook the the petting zoo animals, us Kentuckians aren't picky little buddy.

Lost in all the mud slinging are these beautiful slabs. Those do look magnificent. USA! USA!

My country tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died!
Land of the Pilgrim's pride!
From every mountain side,
Let freedom ring!

My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love.
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture fills
Like that above.

Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song.
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.

Our father's God to, Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God, our King!

Now let's eat pigs.

@nolaegghead
Should I post my Yeti song here as well?

nolaegghead

@SGH absolutely Scottie

@Foghorn that shouldn't be an issue.

Please Do!!

My country tis of thee
There is no liberty 
Just butthurt folks
Hey, I'm offended
Need an ammendment 
Say what I allow you to
A f+&#ing joke.
