Dude, I'm totally hungry now.
Aw, a video that starts out with Uga and just keeps on going with fried food. Yeah baby, my kinda movie!
Nice tidbit
Uh oh, Dawg in the house.
War Eagle, what do you have to say about THAT?
awww, I can't watch this clip at work but my brother attends UGA and it can tend to get pretty ridiculous down there!

I was a bit disappointed in "Automatic For the People" when it was released. However, it did have a couple of my fave R.E.M. songs on it (Drive and The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight). I picked up that tidbit about the origin of the title from MTV. I believe it was bespectacled VJ Kennedy who mentioned it.
