The National, the downtown sibling of Hugh Acheson's landmark 5&10, claims " we value our local farmers and our dishes reflect the changing seasons in Northeast Georgia." Join with me in standing up and shouting LIAR! Because it is a lie, because National principal Hugh Acheson HATES AMERICA. An email from the National with the subject line "not going to the game?" showed up with this special:
$25 three-course, prix-fixe
starting at 7pm, seating until 10pm
this Saturday, September 12th
Well, you are thinking "a menu that 'reflects the changing seasons in northeast Georgia' would surely reflect that right now it is FOOTBALL SEASON, so surely, the prix-fixe includes an unlimited wing bar, and red and black "fan cans" of Bud Light, and dozens of plasma screens all over the room, as a consolation for the folks who could not get in to Sanford Stadium to see the Bulldogs take on the Gamecocks." As the picture indicates, and my experience confirms, there is not a single television in the place. Not even in the bar. And the menu has boquerones, and octopus, with not a wing in sight. It's sick, really. Is Hugh Acheson really attempting to coerce the good citizens of Athens, GA into ignoring a key early-season SEC matchup by offering a TV-free prix-fixe? What kind of person would do something like that? Oh, I don't know... a Canadian, perhaps? Mark my words, come Saturday, Acheson will be in his underground lair, wearing his treasured Alouettes jersey, stroking a hairless cat, and cackling with delight as phase one of his plan to destroy college football, which is to say, America, comes to fruition.
You are ruining my political ambitions.

guy walks into a near-empty restaurant on game day and asks: do you serve hairless cats? we have enough of a problem with feral cats 'round these parts, and crazed nutbag reps (no not the dude from SC, we have our own) Go Hugh Go! Run for sum-fin'

Think about it. For flag football, you don't need to work out or develop any skills; you just have to be fast and be able to catch. It basically defeats the purpose of any other position player except the fastest positions like receiver and cornerbacks. It kills the point of being able to bench press 400 pounds when all you have to do is be fast.
Who agrees with me when I say that flag football is a terrible substitute for tackle football? Or for those of you who prefer flag football to tackle football, why?

I have heard that HP has a similar agreement with Marriott. I have had the opportunity to use their telepresence system at a number of occasions and I have to admit it''s really cool, but at the same time is very efficient. No or little travel required while meeting with people all around the world.
