Slide of the Week: May 30th, 2008

S&M at GSU, Atlanta, GA 1956

S&M at GSU, Atlanta, GA 1956

Two university students perched on a crunched-up-crepe-paper-cross between a terrier and weenie dog parade a little s&m for a crowd of stadium spectators. A big, blue clown-dog watches the action. Those matching black hoods and short capes over red jumpsuits are quite a contrast to the wholesome all-white dress of the crossed armed college students that, according to their body language. don’t quite seem to know what to make of it. Neither do I. mmmm….

Last weekend I had the pleasure of visiting the Atlanta, the city that gave the world its most famous brand name product, Coca-Cola. If they ever change the name of the city it could be Coca-Colaland. You will have to admit it has a nice ring to it. While there I enjoyed several servings of the oh-so sweet soda pop served alongside platters heaping with fried chicken and buttered biscuits one night and pulled pork sandwiched paired with cole slaw and macaroni and cheese the next. I’m here to tell you southern cooking and southern hospitality are alive and well.

Here’s to S&M and southern hospitality in Coca-Colaland and YOU!

  2. mia Says:

    the people in white look like the cheer squad. Is this S&M U? And they have cheerleaders?

    I love Georgia.

  3. RJ Says:

    The photo caption in pink says 1956, but the subject caption says 1966. Not that it matters, but which is it?

  4. Steve Norris Says:

    Fascinating!

  5. Cindy Says:

    This is bizarre, and more than a little creepy! Wonder if the 2 S&Mer’s are aware of what they seem to represent…..
