Favpack Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I'd say that is highly unlikely - there is not even a match for that phrase. It does say this about Lufkin, Texas: Lufkin is served by two hospitals, the Memorial Medical Center at Lufkin, which includes the Arthur Temple Sr. Regional Cancer Center, and Woodlands Heights Medical Center. The space shuttle Columbia crashed in the Lufkin area. Lufkin is well known for its high school football team, the Lufkin Panthers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jes_bonner Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Notice the typo "a expert gambler" "a"??? How about "an" expert. They obviously didn't teach that at Aunt Mama's institute of mediocre learning in Rivercrest. I like the this version better... That entry is a tad bit harsh, wide. It'd be best for the person who submitted that entry to erase it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
