A lot of Arabs in Dearborn is what it means, Ron.
These days, if you can learn Arabic fluently, you could easily make over $100k a year as a translator. And the military can teach you at the Defense Language Institute, for you younger guys.
I'm about a third fluent in German and know elementary Russian. And I speak southern, too, but not cajun. Maybe TE can translate for us, though...
It's wondermus, I guar-own-tee!!!

I'm kinda surprised by the lack of participation by the Oklahoma fans, but when you think about it, they're only 3 of us on this site (lol) 1 is in Germany, 1 is in Austin and the other is me..
I wouldn't be surprised if Texas comes thru in a big way, they usually like to see their name on top......

How's this guys...... we just passed $8,000.
(And don't be too presumptive about the followings. We have almost 17,000 readers who *never even come to the site* through RSS. So... it goes without saying that the Fanblogs nation has its core here -- yall -- as well as the greater nation.)
