Longwood, since officially becoming a university, has been trying to brand themselves as "LU" when before, when they were Longwood college, we just called them Longwood. Why are they trying to take something for a school thats had it for over 20 years now...and is putting it on the side of a mountain? WHY?
And everytime someone from Farmville says LU, I always point out that more people in the world are likely to recognize it as Liberty U. and not Longwood. ARGH!!!

Yes, but Lehigh is two states up North in Pennsylvania (and lets not forget Loyola-somewhere uses LU too). Liberty and Longwood are less than an hour apart.

Licoln University is LU as well. Just ask my brother Claude who is a whopping 20 years older than me btw. He always teases me about that. (Yes I come from a large family and I am the youngest child). Interesting that Lehigh and Lincoln are geographically close and so is Liberty and Longwood and in my 2 favorite states to boot...Can't we all just get along....Make Liberty the official LU and be done with it right?

Let's not forget the school out in California that just tried to be another Liberty University for a while.

I'd scoff at Longwood a little more if they hadn't just waxed our butts in hoops over in their barn. And I mean, BARN.

it's corn dancing. I think you'd use it after you told a corny joke.
Why is 6 afraid of 7? 7 ate 9!

Actually, it's a banana dancing. It's been around message boards for forever, and is kind of tradition now.
A few years back, it was used in a rather random flash animation called "Peanut Butter Jelly Time", which you can see
here. This flash animation was later parodied on "Family Guy", which you can see
here.

See I know I've seen it started out as a bannana but I thought it later turned into corn. At least I've seen it on a board somwhere as :corn Plus this one really looks like corn
