Haha, I like Georgia Aquarium as well, but I have to say that I like the flow of Tennessee better. If you could somehow get the two to combine, I bet it would be the best Aquarium in the world, especially since Georgia is supposedly bigger, but you don't get to see a lot of it unless you pay for the sort of "back stage" tour of it.
It is a bit fitting for them, isn't it? And I wouldn't know about the puking blood part. I know when my sister got her tonsils removed it was supposedly pretty ugly, but that's because she had kissing tonsils that were infected with strep. With how my mom described it, it sounded really gross. DX

A Tennessee-Georgia Aquarium would be pretty fantastic! If North Carolina and South Carolina can band together to make a theme park, then surely they could do it for an aquarium.
My favorite part about the exhibits was when we went to the whale sharks area and read about their journey from the ocean to the aquarium. In my mind it amounted to this: Georgia ordered the whale sharks to be delivered by UPS.
End of story.

That's how Georgia orders most of their animals in general. If you go to Atlanta Zoo sometime and visit the Pandas, you can see the box that UPS shipped them in as well not too far from the Panda pagoda. xd
"I support the United Postal Services! ( ^_^)b "
You know, I wonder if you just get paid by them to advertise them. After all, if they can ship you pandas and whale sharks, then what can't they ship? =u=

I wonder how Tennessee does stuff like that... I never really thought about it before. Next time I visit the aquarium or one of the zoos I'll ask. UPS is so hardcore.

I don't know. But, I thought it through, and Georgia's a sell out.
"W- WHAT?! That's a bit harsh!" emotion_8c "
Oh really now? Georgia, remember your latest baby panda? I think you and I can recall how the ceremony went and what its name is, but why don't you explain it to everyone else.
".....We had Jack Black come to the zoo to help reveal that the panda's name was... Po.... After Kung Fu Panda's main character.... We even still have the banners up... B-B-But Dreamworks Studios gave me quite a bit of money for doing that, and all the money went to the research project for panda conservation and food for them! Honest! emotion_8c "
Still, you had Jack Black come and promote the movie and still are promoting the movie. It was one of the most obvious sellouts as of yet that I've seen. xd

Haha! Georgia really did that? Oh, man. That's pretty fantastic. At least it went to a good cause, but still... Georgia does what it takes to make money, huh? xd
He's always been pretty ambitious. *not surprised*
You know, you should probably be a little more ambitious. I know Tennessee does fine and always has a respectable enough GDP rank but... I really think a lot of his most important industries only happened because they were partially crammed down his throat either through Reconstruction or the Great Depression/FDR making him start up different projects.
*just wants to farm and play music all the time* *sigh* Life could'a been a lot simpler... emotion_8c
Ugh... Don't tell me you want progress to work in reverse? emotion_eyebrow After going to Atlanta I realize how little TN's major cities are. It's really more of a country/suburban sort of state as much as I hate to admit to the stereotype. Like... Knoxville, the third largest, has a downtown that's more like one street and none of the buildings are NEARLY as tall as what I saw in Atlanta. My friend from Nashville, the second largest (maybe the largest now) city, was even like "WHAT IS THIS? I'm so confused! Where does the skyline end!? emotion_0A0 "
I told you before big cities just cause problems. They're easier to take care of when they're little and don't cause you to try to drain lakes or move someone's border... *grumble*
TN, don't start that again! >_< ... But Chattanooga is SUPER close to the border. It was almost like "Welcome to Chattanoo--WELCOME TO GEORGIA!"

Jack Black doing the Panda ceremony. I have to say, though, I'm pretty proud of our zoo. I think we've only had the pandas for 10 years, maybe a little more or less, and we've really helped with the panda breeding program. We've raised about 4 or 5 healthy baby pandas who were then shipped out around the world to have babies of their own. I always smile when I hear we got another panda on the way. 4laugh
"Oh, come on! Cities aren't that bad! And I'm not draining my lake because the city is too big! I'm draining it because the hurricanes that usually bring us water have been really lacking the past few years!"
Which is true. As much as all of the coast states hate hurricane season, it's actually vital to Georgia. The past few years, hurricanes just haven't really made it to us, so we haven't gotten a lot of the normal summer rains. I'm sure you saw it on your way down here at least once or twice, but all of the lake levels are super low. It's kinda sad seeing jsut how much water is missing due to the lack of rain... Stupid droughts. stare
I thought about doing a poem... Buuuut, I don't think I could come up with anything decent. emotion_awesome

The drought really has been rough, huh... Me and my friends started arguing about it on the way through Georgia, actually. You can't really tell so much in Tennessee that we've had a drought because of all the lakes, river and mountain springs that are everywhere. Apparently one of my friends didn't even believe the South was having a regional drought and I was like "TEXAS WAS ON FIRE! Like, a fire the size of CONNECTICUT!" and his response was "I don't care about Texas." Which made me sad face. (He's the New Mexican I mentioned once a million pages ago. Apparently there is a big grudge/resentment between New Mexico and Texas...)
Anyway... TN, are you on Alabama and Florida's side of that argument? Or are you just being butt-hurt over Chattanooga again? Stop being such a baby about it. *pokes*
You say that to me again when your big brother tries to claim your vital regions... stare
..... Pfft. TNGA is the best~ I want to draw pictures of it again. emotion_kirakira
Stop sayin' stuff like that! emotion_0A0

Chatanooga is fun to say.
NEW MEXICO CAN SUCK IT. People care about them less. They don't have Chuck Norris. And our mountains are better. And our ex-governer is more retarded.
....wait.
no. that's bad.
Rick Perry needs to go away and stop thinking he can run things. A goldfish is more capable of running the country than he is.

emotion_awesome You're good at Math, and an awesome saleswoman. You also hate Ohio and love Florida~
"YOU CAN'T EDIT MY PERSONALITY THAT MUCH! DX"
Being a saleswoman doesn't edit your personality. Twit. I'll just edit your personality slowly. Twit.

Hm... When I think of Michigan, I actually always think of a mechanic because of how important the auto industry used to be for her. As for personality... honestly, I'm not sure. You never hear anything bad about Michigan even though you hear scary things about Detroit all the time... lol What is Michigan's relationship with Florida? I'm really curious.
