Can you help save the Stadium Dog?

University of Alabama Fans will you please save the Stadium Dog?
Here is a link to the petition to save the Bryant Denny Stadium Dog —–> http://www.petitiononline.com/drgonzo9/petition.html

The unthinkable is a reality for Alabama football.

We’re not talking about losing to Louisiana-Monroe, or being defeated two years in a row by Mississippi State or losing six straight games to Auburn. We’re not even talking about the possibility that former UA quarterback Kenny Stabler, the best college football radio analyst in the business, may be sidelined this season after a DUI arrest over the weekend in Robertsdale.

No, this is a matter of the gravest import. The culinary staple of hardcore Alabama fans — the classic hot dog — may soon be kicked out of Bryant-Denny Stadium.

That’s because Crimson Tide Sports Marketing Inc., which controls concession rights for UA athletics, has signed a new deal with a Connecticut-based vendor who seeks a more upscale dining experience for sports fans than just hot dogs and popcorn.

The deal ends an association of more than two decades between the university and the Birmingham-based Yarbrough Co. for concessions and food.

Yarbrough’s centerpiece was the beloved “stadium dog,” topped with a special sauce. Many longtime fans associate the taste of that sauce with Alabama football.

An official of the new firm, Centerplate Inc., says it’s too early to start talking about menu plans. The company says its stadium food will reflect local culture.

Well, local culture: In Philadelphia, that means Philly cheese steaks. In San Diego, it’s fish tacos at the stadium. San Francisco offers a tofu dog.

But in Tuscaloosa?

Assuming that non-stadium local specialties like grits, country ham with red-eye gravy and buttermilk biscuits are excluded, you’re talking about Cokes, burgers and chips.

And hot dogs. With special sauce.

The sooner the Connecticut vendor understands that, the better.
We are looking for at least 92,000 Signatures. Please help.!

Please pass the link on to as many Tide Fans as you can.

We need thousands of people to sign this thing

I am asking for advice on where to live in the PI’s?

Hi my friends,
I am retiring in 2 years. I want ot live my last years in the Philippines. I have narrowed my choices. I want some input from the people who are more familiar with their provinces than I am. My choices are: Cebu City, Tagatay Thal, Boracay, Levite, or my number one choice is Batangas. I live in San Diego which is beautiful and the weather is always wonderful here. I want to be near US Veterans facilities since I am a veteran…but I am not military retired but I can receive medical attention if needed. I am still very active, I enjoy playing sports, surfing swimming, volleyball, golf, and fishing.
I want mountains and a change of climate like Tagatay offers I’ve been there 2 times. But I want the beaches and the beautiful scenery of sand water and beautiful Pinay.
I am in the process of ending a disastrous 7 year marriage. My wife was born and raised in Roxas City. She is gago. There is no future with her.
But I want to continue my dream of being in the Philippines with a pretty Filipino woman in the near future.
Where is my best choice to live. Please give me the Pros and Cons.
Salamatpo kaibigans. JR

[LONG] You think you’ve heard ‘em all? I need ‘girl’ advice – check out this story.?

It all started almost a year ago, last June. I met a girl at work (though we work in different departments) and there was immediate chemistry. I’m 26, shes 22. In my “maturity” I decided it would be inappropriate to be anything more than friends, so I kept all feelings relative to our defined friendship. We hung out, went out to bars with friends, chilled at each other’s places – but maintained a boundary.

Even though I had established clearly and vocally that I just wanted to be friends, I don’t believe it was ever taken seriously – by her or myself. We flirted constantly; There was hardly a conversation we didn’t. I had exclaimed to my friends that I didn’t want anything more than friendship in an attempt to convince them and myself I wasn’t falling deeply for her.

One evening, everything changed. We went out to a few bars with some good friends and she was all over me. There was NO doubt: she wanted me back home and in bed with her. Terribly awkwardly I extricated myself from the situation by using the ‘designated driver’ card (“I have to take all my friends home.”). She was disappointed, a little hurt. It was evident she hadn’t been turned down often and she took it hard. I didn’t sleep that night – I did everything wrong and established a very self destructive pattern, as you will read.

At this junction I had 2 options – apologize the next day and we’d be together today, or dig in my heels… I did the latter. I stood firm on my “no dating co-workers” policy – which is ridiculous because we don’t actually work together, have different bosses, offices, ect… However, I’m stubborn and am the emotional equivalent of a 14 year old.

A few weeks later she hosted a party in which I attended. Here I had one ‘last’ chance – another guy was making his move. IF I wanted I could have interjected and we’d still be together. HOWEVER, I with my sense of superiority (“I don’t need anyone in my life”) simply left the party announcing a previous engagement I had with another female – a complete fabrication.

Shortly after this party I was involved in a motorcycle accident. I broke both arms and my ripped my left PCL in half. Sounds nasty, but it wasn’t that bad. 6 months later I was back in the gym and am in better health than I ever was previously. During the 3 months I was out of work or simply unable to do anything more than watch TV this girl hooked up with that other guy and come August they will have been together for a year. She moved in with him a couple months ago.

Over the last 3 months I’ve been incredibly bipolar in all my interactions with her. Some days I’m chatty, other’s its all I can do to simply ignore her existence. Now its more of that – I pass her by as if she wasn’t there. (This I fear is my permanent reality)

She has recently expressed that she wants to continue being friends. During that conversation she said that, “While I’m with [this guy], I know we can’t be together.” — or something to that effect. I idiotically corrected her, “Never…” I don’t think she took that well, I certainly didn’t.

If this was simply the case, it wouldn’t be too bad – there’s other fish in the sea – right? However this “crush” of mine is deep. Anytime we discuss something we agree. For example, child rearing. I expressed I’d rather adopt simply because it’d avoid the messy years. Not to mention we’d be saving a kid from the city’s terrible adoption circuit. She apparently said the exact same thing. Currently living on the East Coast (and hailing from Seattle) I talk about how I can’t wait to get back to the west, especially LA. She wants the same, coming from San Diego. We love concerts, similar tastes in music, fine wines, snow sports, the beach, travelling, working out, even the Suicide Girls (she wants to be one, and I can make it happen), ect… the list goes on.

Currently this guy she’s with won’t let her do things if there’s a remote chance of us being close; hes jealous and has expressed a low-level hatred of my existence. He’d prefer we never talk again and if my bipolarness has anything to say, that’s the reality. This is odd considering I’ve been nothing but kind and considerate to him. The reality of their situation from what I understand, is that ‘they’ are just temporary.

All this said, what do you recommend I do – if anything? I’ve come to the point where all I do is think about her. Every waking moment; her. I’m loosing grip on reality – no joke. Most of this torture is my own doing, compounding memories and mistakes on top of each other in an ever repeating psycho-shredding loop.

She doesn’t know any of this about me. I’m sure she thinks I don’t want anything to do with her. How the hell do I explain myself? How do I
@Valerie – You’re absolutely right, it is complicated. I how would simply begin to explain all this? My first thought was to hopefully get a few answers here and just send her the link – let her read it and go from there.
