My daughter has one... so yes.
She even has a "Cocky" plush doll, and a pillow pet... and we all joke around the house about "her cocks"... Some people are too sensitive.

Edit: And I forgot to add that I am the one that bought all of them for her...

That is an excellent post. I love history and trivia...yes I am boring.

Just don't expect any slack from the SECr. Folks here are ruthless. So sack up, join in and have fun.

Since you like history, as do I, I will take the liberty of exploding one more myth about the Palmetto State. Our state flag is considered one of the most recognized and beautiful of all. What's not to like. A gorgeous crescent moon over a palmetto tree in a dark blue background. Trouble is, it is not a crescent moon. Look closely and you will see it has a shape no moon can show. The image represents the silver crescent worn on the caps of the SC Militia, defending the sand and palmetto fort on Sullivan's Island against a huge English Armarda set on capturing Charleston in May of 1776. The British bombarded the sand and soft wood palmetto fort all day and finally withdrew. The flag was designed to represent the cresecent, the palmettos of the fort, and the color of the uniforms of the defenders, and we proud of it.

Okay,, no more history.

I like SC--my wife's family is from over that way. Beautiful country over there.

That said, Texas flag shits all over SC's flag, and any other flag for that matter. :dwi:

Still waiting for Gameday at a SCar/Oregon State contest. A 24-3 halftime score with a 'Cocks pounding Beavers' ticker would be epic.

Dude, I think we all know that. People make the anatomical analogy not to disparage USC, but because we're in essence in a cyber-smoky poker room or Turkish bath, albeit with a few of our curvey soft couunerparts among the ahem game cocks.....

it's a gorget.... a crescent shaped piece of steel that early soldiers used to wear around their neck as protection.

Lot's of misunderstanding about the "Gamecock " name. It is not about any part of the anatomy of the bird, but the whole.


I am gonna guess most people knew it referred to the whole bird and not his weiner.

South Carolina is a very pretty state. The coastal areas remind me a lot of south Louisiana.
