I feel so special. I have a welcome thread! I'm Beach Runner's daughter, and was feeling very uncreative when choosing a name. I'm a Georgia Tech student and I love the beach, hence the name Beach Jacket. :)

Just a little about me:

I'm 21, psychology major at GT, BR's daughter, love to cook, graphic artist, painter, and serious shopper. :)

Glad you finally posted and ended the mystery! Now enlighten me - what do jackets have to do with Georgia Tech? :idontno:

GT's mascot is the Yellow Jacket. Yeah, we have a bug as our mascot. One of the good ol' rally cries is "Gooo Jackets! Sting 'em!"

Soo tough sounding... lol

Oh, ok - gotcha. I admit it - I'm a northerner and not much of a sports fan either. Well "Gooo Jackets" sounds a lot better than that other rally cry someone was quoting the other day for University of South Carolina!

Yay! My daughter is finally "outted." Now y'all will go directly to her, my Grand Wizard of Recipes, Design, and Pop Culture, instead of me.:funn:

But if it's college sports you wanna smack around, that'd be me!

BTW when I was working on one of my masters degrees at USC (as in South Carolina), I bought a bumper sticker at the USC bookstore that said, "YOU CAN'T LICK OUR COCKS." My husband wouldn't let me put it on the car. I can't imagine why!:blush: So, yes, I know about nasty rally cries.

Probably the most hilarious mascot I've ever heard of is from some minor league baseball team in San Antonio. The mascot is named Henry the Puffy Taco. I kid you not.

Hehe. I'm pretty worthless when it comes to football. "They're running, they're running..... and they all fell down." :)

Then you probably have never heard of the Freeport Pretzels (a high school in a more rural part of Northern Illinois.) Bet your Yellow Jackets could kick some Pretzel ass!

Welcome Beach Jacket! Love your graphic designs that your mom has used for avatars! You are really talented!

I grew up as a shamrock...now we were tough.A few years ago they changed their name to the Rocks, much tougher now. ;-)

Ah, I see. I think some of us thought you might know Beach Jacket personally since your screen names have the word "Beach" in common.

Welcome Beach Jacket! Come out and play with us (we won't bite - not usually.)


I thought it may be Beach Runner's faux name, you know, like faux fur. She was talking about picking up her fur jackets at Needless Markcups. :idontno: Or, it could be one of those guys in her family who was at least smart enough to go to a college in Georgia, even if it wasn't UGA. ;-);-)

To Hell with Georgia!! I started off at MIT, but it was too far away, too cold, and the people were flippin' weird. I missed the south, and southern boys.

No, I haven't heard of them, but IMO, they still have nothing on the big red Cocks of South Carolina.


So :welcome: Beach Jacket. We hear that you like hip hop in the ATL (Beach Runner swears that the ATL is not Hartsfeild International Airport). :idontno:

No, I think I'll probably be in Seagrove. Not sure yet, because I'm going to THE WHO CONCERT (!!!!!!) on the day before Thanksgiving. I'm pretty pumped about that. We better beat y'all though. That'd be a first. :)

When I was looking at law schools I went to visit Harvard my senior year in 2004, the people there were weird too. That school is much harder to get into than Georgia Law of course, but much more easier in terms of grading--pass/fail.
