Since R2B2 is in too much of a blind rage over the creation museum to discuss her vacation in the empire state of the south, i'll begin. We had the WORST time. Awful!
Psych! (or, if you prefer, Not!) It was fully slawesome. Here is what we did.
Saw:
1. zoo - amazing baby panda viewing, a mona monkey with three legs, a t-shirt that used the reese's logo but says jesus (see photo), a mexican dude with a trashy white girl who answered his phone like this: "Cocay? Yeah, I gotchew.", and, for the 2nd time in a row for me, a bunch of people who don't know the difference between a leopard and a tiger. The zoo is an excellent place to become acquainted with hos dumb people really are.
2. Wren's Nest - home of Joel Chandler Harris, who recorded the Uncle Remus stories. You know, Br'er Rabbit, Tar Babies, etc. I always thought he actually wrote the stories and was a classic example of old scholl southern racism, eg the black lady in tom & jerry. not so. he was a poor bastard, literally, with a stutter, grew up on a farm and was shunned due to the single mom, so he bonded with the slaves and the old guys would tell him these stories. and he was best friends with mark twain and tight with Teddy R. as well. anyway his great great grandson gave the tour and it was cool.
3. drove thru morehouse and spelman. did you know howard zinn taught at morehouse?
4. cyclorama. world's longest painting. depicts the first day of sherman's march on atlanta. it's in a round room and you rotate. has diorama elements too. saw a little redneck kid racing around in a grey confederate soldier hat waving the flag. the rebel flag. our tour lady said wpa stood for work project administration. it took all my strength to not correct her. dumbass. she is sending people out into the world being wrong about something. i bought some confederate rifle pens. they write real nice.
5. buford highway farmers market. craziest place on earth. half central american, half asian, and all chaos. r2b2 most impressed.
6. carter center. awesome. we love JC.
7. hot fuzz. funny.
next up, what we ate.

I still don't see why a Christian would want to equate JC (in this case Jesus, not Jimmy Carter) with peanut butter cups! Now I'm beginning to understand the motivation behind Chocolate Jesus.
