Dishonorable Mention:
"Ricky Carmichael won his 150th professional motocross race - Give the man credit where credit is due."
- And you know what? No one cares.
Dishonorable Mention:
"Wonderful adult ballet classes are available at Islands Dance Academy at 115 Charlotte Road on Whitemarsh Island."
- Yeah, come on over and put on tights and prance around to music that people only pretend to like.
Dishonorable Mention:
"How sad to go by Grayson Stadium and see a hole where the outfield bleachers were. They could have been restored."
- What would be the point of restoring them? I’ll bet it’s been forty years since someone sat over there. The government doesn’t need suggestions of ways to waste taxpayers’ money; they’ve got plenty ideas of their own.
Dishonorable Mention:
"Regarding El Cheapo, keep the logo but change the name to "Not Quiteo as Cheapo as El Wal Marto."
- Give yourself a big pat on the back for that one.
Dishonorable Mention:
"I had eight Coy die in my fish pond after they sprayed for mosquitoes. It may not be related, but I was just wondering if anyone else had a similar situation."
- It’s spelled Koi. I don’t know if this was the contributor’s error or the editor’s. No culture.
Dishonorable Mention:
"I don't know why Savannah has a city council. The rich on Skidaway Island decides where and how the money will be spent. The bridge will take priority over everything else and Truman Parkway will be last, and years away from now."
- Skidaway Island is full of large, beautiful, and valuable homes. The more valuable a home is, the more the owner will pay in property taxes. I shudder to think of how much property tax is paid by Skidaway Island residents every year. I’ll bet we can afford to repair the bridge on their tax dollars alone. Cut them some slack.
Dishonorable Mention
"What is with the geese feces on the basketball courts at Lake Mayer? Could someone please clean it up so my chaps and I will have a decent place to play?"
- The geese feces come from the hundreds of geese that call Lake Mayer home. Why are you playing basketball in chaps anyway? Wouldn’t shorts be more practical?
First Runner-up:
"I wish the mayor and city aldermen would ride through the 800 block of East 32nd Street. The garbage needs to be picked up and the grass needs cutting."
- This one pretty much speaks for itself.
And your Gem of the Week:
"Three cheers to those who oppose the flat tax idea. This is just another scheme to take from the poor and give to the rich."
- It’s comments like these that make me hate doing the Gems.

Geese Feces is the opening band for Jimmy Seawright and The Seersuckers.
That last one is typical class warfare nonsense. Wealth is created, not fixed. It's not like a pizza where you only gain a slice if I lose a slice. If that were the case everyone today would have the same standard of living that cavemen had 100,000 years ago. Newsflash: we don't.
