The person who directs the movement, placement, and direction of food at the dinner table, particularly at a large meal or gathering. This can be achieved by democracy, but is more typically dictated by strength of character and who has the best spatial relations... or just the most experience with food.

Formed in 1907 as the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association, the only charter members to still remain upon its dissolution in 1996 were the Tigers of the University of Missouri, the Cornhuskers of the University of Nebraska, and the Jayhawks of the University of Kansas.
Despite numerous changes in membership during its 89-year history, it kept its name (officially) throughout, and in fact still had eight members in 1996 when it dissolved, combining with remnants of the Southwest Conference to form the Big 12.
Though the Big 12 was only the Big 8 plus Baylor, University of Texas, Texas A&M, and Texas Tech, the Big 12 did not claim the Big 8's history as its own, thus ending its existence.

Get the Big 8 mug.A member of The Horde (see also: WoW, World of Warcraft, MMORPG) who accumulates as many items as possible and never shares them, sells them, or uses them. They will cling selfishly to these items until they are no longer useful and expired from game play OR hoard things like cloth that could be used by the guild. This often results in creation of extra characters simply for bank tab space.

Not to be confused with the Bible Belt, the Sun Belt extends beyond the states traditionally associated with the deep south (Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, and the Carolinas), and extends west through the warmer climes of the continental U.S. (Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Florida, Colorado, Utah, Oklahoma, Nevada, extending as far north as Virginia).
The Sun Belt has seen substantial population growth in recent decades, fueled by milder winters, coupled with the availability and affordability of air conditioning. In addition, the latter half of the 20th century has seen a surge in retiring baby boomers migrating domestically, as well as the influx of immigrants, both legal and illegal, into this region.
One of the most densely populated areas for professional sports in the U.S., the college powerhouse SEC has existed there for over 75 years, with the population boom also adding to the creation of the eponymous Sun Belt Conference (est. 1976) and the currently higher profile Conference USA (est. 1995). All three conferences exist entirely within this region.

Tony: Man, it's too crowded out here in New York, I don't even have room to think.
Andrea: I know it ain't for everyone, but my cousins moved down to the Sun Belt and they couldn't be happier.
Tony: Sun Belt? Is that like the Bible Belt?
Andrea: Naw, the Bible Belt is mostly conservative country folk. The urban population is exploding down there with new liberal voters, and Obama even carried Houston in 2008, not to mention all of New Mexico.

Get the WAC mug.The 29th president of the United States (1921-1923), widely considered to be the worst President of all time, until soundly replaced in this title by George W. Bush (2001-2009).
Harding was from humble roots in the midwest, spoke in a a simple country manner, promised government jobs to his friends, had an administration largely associated with corruption, had a vice president who didn't say much, was immensely popular when he was elected before seeing his popularity nosedive until it was almost non-existent. In short, the only differences between Harding and the junior Bush was that Bush served 8 years to Harding's 2, and Harding never sent a single American soldier overseas to die.
Harding was not, in fact, a negro (this rumor was started by his oppositon prior to the 1920 election), though he was the first President elected after the passing of the 19th Amendment (the amendment that allowed women to vote). Unlike the junior Bush, Harding actually succeeded an *un*popular President, in that Woodrow Wilson won re-election by promising not to get involved in World War I, then entered it anyway. Another departue from Bush was the sheer mediocrity of his successor, Calvin Coolidge, who was famous for spending most of his eight years at the golf course.
The G does not, in fact, stand for Gangster.
