GAINESVILLE – The thought police have decided they don’t want the Florida-Georgia game referred to as The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party anymore. We’re going to have to work together to devise a new name.

I’m on record as saying I understand why Florida prez Bernie Machen and Georgia prez Michael Adams asked the SEC to pressure TV networks into avoiding the nickname. The schools and the city of Jacksonville distanced themselves from the term years ago, and in our litigious society, it’s unwise for a university president to embrace a phrase that some personal injury lawyer may translate into “Drink until your liver falls out.”

But that doesn’t mean we can’t embrace the six-word moniker coined by former Florida Times-Union sports editor Bill Kastelz. I also enjoy an alternate phrase coined by Jacksonville writer Rex Edmondson. He called the festivities surrounding the game “the annual celebration of the repeal of Prohibition.”

That may be the ideal jumping off point for today’s little exercise. Some folks already have tried to coin a new phrase. Stealth blogger Orson Swindle – not his real name – at everydayshouldbesaturday.com has printed T-shirts bearing his new slogan, which I unfortunately can’t repeat on a family newspaper Web site. Swindle’s slogan doesn’t actually endorse drinking, so maybe it has a chance.

We need to devise a new nickname, because, alas, The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party has been trademarked. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Tony Barnhart, Atlanta event promoter David Garrison owns the rights to the name. Garrison intends to throw a party using the name Friday at a racetrack in Waynesville, Ga., to pump up Georgia fans for the game. The headliner is Hank Williams Jr., who should be thrilled to see all those football fans following his family’s traditions.

I’ve come up with a few nicknames of my own, but I’m more interested in hearing your ideas. So after these, click the comment button and throw out some new phrases.

The World’s Largest Outdoor Headline Writing Convention

Georgia governor Sonny Perdue apparently doesn’t have to worry about issues such as education, healthcare costs or public safety. Instead, he spends his time critiquing the headlines in the Atlanta paper’s sports section. After Georgia’s 51-33 loss to Tennessee in Athens earlier this month, Perdue sent a letter complaining about the AJC headline: “Dogs get put in their place.” Using a practice that was stolen fair and square by the Blogtacular, the paper asked readers to submit suggestions for the headline following the Bulldogs’ homecoming loss to Vanderbilt. The first suggestion? “Dawgs put in their place – again.”

The World’s Largest Outdoor Second-Guessing Game

No matter how Florida coach Urban Meyer divides the snaps between starting quarterback Chris Leak and backup Tim Tebow, somebody is going to complain. And then they’ll offer a suggestion about how they would do it better. I can’t stand those people. What? I am one of those people? Whoops.

The Planet’s Most Gigantic Solar-Powered Libation Celebration

It may sound familiar, but David Garrison won’t sue me if I put it on a T-shirt.
