Too Many Blackberries?
Folks along the Eastern shores of the Little Muddy may be getting a new area code which means fingers will be walking a little further.
According to the 12th Street Rag, the 706 area code is being filled up by cell phones, computers, faxes, pagers and… blackberries. Now, as for the latter of this group, doesn’t the state come along once a month and mow along the roads? Anyway, what this could mean is that instead of dialing a 7-digit number for a local call, you would be dialing a 10-digit one.
I guess I’m not really surprised by this. After all, there are just so many blackberries that you can stuff into one bag… unless you eat as you go and then you can fill up while filling up, ya know? … … Nevermind.
Considering the number of incoming students to schools like Auburn and Troy, I figure we here on the good side of the river (area code 334) will soon be faced with the same thing. Can you imagine the blackberries and other various electronic fruit that are being used between the two of them? That’s not even to mention cell phones and the like.

Tyson's Final(?) Entree
Mike Tyson avoided munching on his opponent’s ears, deciding instead to retire his career as a cannibal and general nuisance with a head butt and flop in the 6th round of last night’s fight.
The other guy, Kevin McBride, was declared the winner, and that was enough for him to declare himself “The Real Deal” and bite off the referee’s nose…
