Native Americans

Ya know what else is ridiculous? The spelling program at Florida State.

Poor Phat is struggling all over the boards tonight.

PS Watch out for Tony, he'll get you.

I'm a student at Florida State... I don't think private companies will have to change the names of their products, but as far as I know we may have to change our SEMINOLE mascot which is ridicules.

I still like the CRIMINOLES name that was given to the school. Check out the police blotter from this summer.

Leading returning tackler A.J. Nicholson being Tasered by cops, after they fished him out from behind a bush, less than six months after he was arrested for DUI.

Second-leading tackler Ernie Sims being arrested on misdemeanor domestic battery charges.

Ha, I guess you haven't heard about our QB yet... unfortunately he is also part of that lineup.

I gave him a pass because I thought that was due to lyme disease. Not really his fault, unless he did something other than claim to be Jesus.

...In the middle of the street while he was sh!tfaced...

Honestly, what college student doesn't do that at one time or another?

On a related tangent. Anybody know if the Mescaleros still have their special "Apache"? I'd heard about it, but didn't quite believe it until I saw it; a Piper Cheyenne with all the original insigia removed and "Apache" on the cowlings. Been years though....

Both my high school and college had Native American mascots/names. So far, only the high school changed its name. What's funny is that it wasn't Native Americans who made the push for the PC name change, it was caucasians in suits.

Redskin and Illini for life.

Heh - I wonder if they file as an Apache instead of a Cheyenne, just to confuse you guys? Incidentally, I've been called a Citation at least three different times, and all three times it's been while talking to approach at your airport. Maybe that's your passive aggressive way of telling me to slow the heck down.

I dunno, but you're generally faster than a straight-wing Citation, aren't you?

I'm kinda anal about aircraft types. Bug my co-workers to death correcting them all the time. I saw a "C178" go by yesterday. But even I can't keep em all straight in my head anymore. I've seen like 35 different identifiers used for different model Citations. I think pilots/FSS make up new ones. Then we get pilots filing stuff like "S35" because they have a S model Bonanza. I think a lot of controllers are giving up keeping them straight. And the FAA keeps changing the "official" identifiers too. Then you got your certified Lancairs and your experimental Lancairs, etc. etc.
