Pente

A strategy board game that is a variation of Gomoku. Pente was invented in 1977 on checkerboard table cloths at a Pizza parlor in Stillwater, Oklahoma called the Hideaway. The object is to place 5 stones in a row or capture 5 pairs of your opponents stones.

While waiting for my pizza I learned how to play Pente. Thirty years later I still have not mastered it.

Freedom Fries

What French Fries were called in restaurants and snack bars run by the House of Representatives from 2003 to 2006, because France claimed that Iraq did not have WMD's.

I guess we will have to give up saying Freedom Fries because the French were right about no WMD's.

Keep Close to the Willows

An Ozark verb meaning to be cautious. Conservative. Modest. Taken from a phrase used while skinny dipping in a willow bordered creek.

Keep close to the willows when you deal with a backstabbing gossip.

Redneck Benny

A Redneck version of Eggs Benedict. Instead of half of an English muffin, topped with Canadian Bacon, a poached egg and Hollandaise sauce there is half a biscuit, topped with a sausage patty, fried egg and gravy. Despite it's Southern Origins and use of pork, it is fast becoming a favorite in North East Jewish Communities.

Once again David sneaked out of Brookline to enjoy some Redneck Benny in Dorchester before his Hebrew lessons.

Neustadt International Prize for Literature 

The Neustadt International Prize for Literature is a biennial award for literature sponsored by the University of Oklahoma and its international literary publication, World Literature Today. It is widely considered to be the most prestigious international literary prize after the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Harvard was so pissed off that OU produced the Neustadt International Prize for Literature and they didn't.

Plus, OU still has a better football team.
