09/16/08 - Did you feel the chill in the air this morning? It felt good. In response, I came in and immediately started rearranging our racks. I made a pre-season sale rack filled with Fall weather clothes, and a end-of-season rack so you can still get some deals on short sleeve shirts. I have them both marked at 30 % off, but if you tell me that you read this in the blog, I could probably be conned into 40% OFF !! Hurry, they won't last long !!
09/13/08 - Wow, was that game stressful !! The South Carolina defense was tough, and UGA needs to get a hold of the penalties, but The Dawgs pulled it out, and a win is a win !!
A big thank you for your business to the City of Marietta Water Department www.mariettawater.com!!
09/12/08 - Did you see UNC www.unc.edu take care of Rutgers last night? That was a good one!! People often ask me why we have a UNC clock as our store clock, and it is kind of a funny story, but it makes sense in the end. Back when we were on the Marietta Square www.themariettasquare.com, we got in a whole run of SEC www.secsports.com and ACC www.theacc.com clocks, and the UNC clock was the only one that never sold! So, it became our store clock, which is OK because my mother is from Chapel Hill and her entire family (except her) went to UNC. My 93 year old grandmother is a HUGE UNC fan! So I always root for UNC (after UGA of course). Usually it is for basketball, but football works too !!
09/11/08 - In remembrance of the victims, families, and everybody affected by 9/11.
09/10/08 - We got in still another shipment of Levi's and Dockers!! Are you starting to see a trend here? We also got in a shipment of one-piece strap leather belts.
09/09/08 - We got in yet another shipment of Levi's and Dockers.
Listen out for Eric Zeier, former UGA and Marietta High School quarterback , on WSB 750 AM www.wsbradio.com this Saturday filling in for Larry Munson. Eric will be calling the UGA vs. South Carolina game in Columbia, SC. Eric's father is a long time customer. GO DAWGS!!
09/08/08 - We got in a shipment of Levi's and Dockers today.
09/07/08 - I went to the UGA game yesterday. It was great to get back to Athens, since it has been almost 4 years. What a great game! It is hard to decide what was the most exciting play -- either Demarcus Dobbs' interception return for a touchdown, or Knowshon Moreno's hurdle over the Chippewa!! I guess I'll have to go with Knowshon, because he is still able to make everybody's jaw drop. Great game !! 2-0 !! http://www.georgiadogs.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=8800&ATCLID=1576675
09/05/08 - We just got in a big shipment of Greystone sweatpants. These are nice because they are a nice thin jersey weight (like a T-shirt material) and they are open bottom, meaning they have no elastic down at the ankles. They come in black, navy, light grey, and brown, sizes 2X to 6X.
09/04/08 - As reported in today's Marietta Daily Journal www.mdjonline.com, Guenter Kittel has been chosen as senior vice president and chief credit officer for Sunrise Bank of Atlanta in Midtown, an affiliate of Capitol Bancorp www.sunrisebankofatlanta.com. Guenter is a customer and a good guy. Congrats!!
09/03/08 - A big thank you for your business to Northwest Georgia Oncology Centers, P.C. www.ngoc.com !!
I just got in a big Enro shipment full of nice new long sleeve dress shirts.
09/02/08 - OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just got in some really nice UGA Hawaiian style shirts!! Unfortunately, I only got in 2X and 3X, but these are definitely a must have for any relaxed Bulldog fan!! These are from Hawaii, made by Reyn Spooner www.reyn-spooner.com. A customer joked that we beat Hawaii so bad last year that we forced them to make UGA Hawaiian shirts for us!!

Blog posts from 08/16/08 to 09/01/08
09/01/08 - We went to the First Presbyterian Church of Marietta www.fpcmarietta.org Annual Church Picnic and Movie last night. It was nice to have good food and see good friends. The movie was Horton Hears a Who www.hortonmovie.com, which of course is a children's movie. It was just OK -- I would give it 7 out of 10 stars.
08/31/08 - We ate at Hooters www.hooters.com last night, and if you like wings, then Hooters is a must. Hooters hook is that their wings are breaded, so they have just the right crunch, heat and texture for great wings with the best Naturally Fresh Bleu Cheese www.naturallyfresh.com. Hooters is know for their wings, I guess which is to say they are not know for everything else. If you take away all of the other food, then I will give the wings a 9 out of 10 stars. Of course, I only go for the wings, so that's why it makes sense! Hooters corporate office actually bought some work uniforms from me a few years ago. They needed some costumes for a convention.
How Bout Them DAWGS!! www.georgiadogs.com
08/30/08 - We ate at Sam & Dave's BBQ-2 www.bbq1.net last night, and if you like BBQ, then listen up! Sam & Dave's has some of the best BBQ I have ever had! Sam, who is also a customer, said that as far as he knows, they are the only BBQ restaurant to ever be rated by Zagat www.zagat.com ! I got the pork spare ribs, macaroni and cheese, and baked beans. The ribs were soft and tender and just pulled off the bone. The BBQ sauce comes on the side, so sometimes I dipped, but the ribs are so good plain, that sometimes I did not dip! The baked beans were excellent, dark with a good thick sauce, with just the right amount of sweet zing. Of course, anybody who has heard of the mac and cheese knows that it is the best around. I will give it 10 out of 10 stars. If you like BBQ and have never tried Sam & Dave's, I recommend it 100% !!
08/29/08 - I hope everybody has a happy and safe holiday weekend. We will be open tomorrow, Saturday 08/30/08, from 10:00 to 5:00, but will be closed Sunday 08/31/08 and Monday 09/01/08. GO DAWGS!!

08/21/08 - I took my 7 year old son to see the Star Wars: The Clone Wars movie www.starwars.com/theclonewars I have always been a fan of the Star Wars series (aren't all men who were born in the 70's?), and I thought this movie was pretty good. I will give it 8 out of 10 stars.

08/19/08 - If you want a good laugh, you can follow along with the antics of Trey Humphries. He has vowed to get married by Jan 2009 -- even though he doesn't even have a girlfriend. I have met Trey a few times before. He worked for the Atlanta Falcons www.atlantafalcons.com in the same capacity that I worked for the Atlanta Braves www.atlantabraves.com We have done a few appearances together. Trey is a real tongue-in-cheek type of guy, so keep that in mind. He is now one of the owners of The Furbus www.furbus.com You can check out his web site at www.marrytrey.com or listen to his adventure on The Bert Show on Q100 at 99.7 on the radio www.allthehitsq100.com Good luck Trey !!
