Kroger or Food Lion?

I like Kroger, but Publix is my favorite.
I like Fresh Market a lot, too. Call me a hippy all you want, but Fresh Market's awesome.

Have you spoken with Gentry lately about how the Georgia camp is going? How many players have been arrested since they started camp?

Last couple of times I've spoken with Gentry have been about his baby daughter.
I'm not aware of any new incidents down there, but you never know. Athens is awesome. It's not tough to find trouble down there.

Are we the most impatient society in the world of ever, or have we always been this way?

We're the microwave generation. Shortest attention spans ever. And it's only getting worse. I look at my brother sometimes like he's from another planet.

Facing the electric chair - what would be your final meal?

Fried chicken, dumplins, greens, sweet potato casserole, bread, a bunch of sweet tea (NO LEMON!!!) and a bunch of nanner puddin'.

The Tri hates Wes????

Not sure, but they'll have to take a number if they do.
That's a pretty long line.

What's your reply to Grandma, when she tells you that you look like OBL?

A hug and a kiss.
Grandma's always grandma. Ain't never changed, and never will.

Think it will be a thread next week, or an interview?

At the buzzer.. Do you follow golf? Even if you don't, who wins the PGA Championship?

Ball's kinda in UT's court right now.
Trying to figure out a way to get enough time for a WWW interview within the new access rules. It's much more difficult. Not whining, though. They've tightened before, and we've found a way. We'll think of something.
Call it ... an ongoing negotiation.

How much do you get paid everytime someone types in WWW.somewebsite.com? Do you plan on telling KY's World Wide Wes to shut it down too?
You have 40 more minutes (central time).

I love golf but have a tough time watching it now that I never have time to play. Makes me too jealous.
That said, I am 100 percent on Team Tiger. I've never been a dynasty guy, but I love me some Tiger on the golf course and always will.
Obviously Tiger's kind of a big ol' jerk, though, and I got to meet a few of the others over the years when they were on the Nationwide Tour. Bubba Watson's an awesome guy, in my couple of experiences with him.

Gotta agree...Fresh Market is the only place for me to get the best no-salt premium nut mix...great fresh fish also, hippy (you said I could). We don't have Pubix in MS and when I sold into that industry I never got that account, so no opinion.
Its not a stupid question until you ask it.

With Fowlkes playing so well are you surprised he's not higher on the depth chart and do you think that will change?

I've scanned this entire thread four times, and I did not see any responses to my questions (which were on page 1). Ryan replied to one of them, but not the other two.

Your questions were just below the Stacey Dash story. Wes' eye(s) were probably still welled up from that and he just inadvertently missed yours and the Coke/Pepsi one. But you are correct in that every question was not answered before midnight.

He works in the Pepsi Next studio- only one answer to that question.

Didn't you ask me the same exact question last week?

Yes and I never saw an answer which is why I said I was trying this again. Not that important anyway.

Wes is very quiet today. This is unusual for him.
