    This pisses me off. I wish my son had gotten to see them a few times.
    Them that don't know him won't like him, and them that do sometimes won't know how to take him

    He ain't wrong, he's just different, and his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right

    This should make Swinney Jr happy, he was always concerned about the environment with all those balloons.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    Balloons are some of the most common litter I find on my farm. I'm not sure if I believe they are so dangerous to wildlife but they sure are annoying as litter. The old rubber/latex balloons weren't a problem but the mylar ones last forever.

    Also one of the more common things seen floating offshore. Turtles probably love them.

    Good move on Clemson’s part. Long overdue.

    That honor will now be solely bestowed upon the mascot magic show in Columbia.

    Damn man. Give em a little credit. They're doin a little better now. Banty rooster is more fitting than chicken. Hell, they've been Cornish hens for the vast majority of their programs existence. Give respect where it's due.

    I always thought they were a nice touch floating in the middle of the lake.

    Nature and the Environment say thanks.
