Folks, there's a difference between coke and Coke. Ya ain't a good Southerner if ya don't understand that.

"It ain't soda, it ain't pop, it's coke."

Have you ever seen a fantasy football division where the division pts leader and the division pts bottom feeder can both win the division or be eliminated from the playoffs? It happened in the other division in my league. A very, very unusual statistical anomaly.

The Magic Comprehensive Rules are aptly named. For example:

"A two player game is a game between two people."

No. Freaking. Duh.

I may be going to Memphis for a Magic Pro Tour Qualifier this weekend. Anime Mike and lucky Andy want me to get out of the house. I suppose I'll have to work on goldfishing Desire a little more.

What's your favorite brand of coke?

Also, in Oklahoma (which is the only South I visit), I have only heard it called a pop.

That's because Oklahoma only pretends to be a Southern State. Remember, Oklahoma wasn't a state until after 1900. So during the Civil War it was a territory, for reasons I think you already know. You can't be a Southern State unless you sided with the South during the Civil War.

So it is then a southern state, without the capitals.
See? I'm so not a Southerner that it's not even funny.

Actually, I'm laughing right now...

The 5 civilized tribes all sided with the South. I think that makes us a Southern state.

I stand corrected. :)
