        <body>Nah. It's best to let the rest of the country think we are a bunch of uneducated yokels. Makes it easier to take their money. We let 'em think they're doing us, when we're really doing them...

        <body>I think Georgia (or maybe Texas) may be the most represented state here at the 10-Spot... tread lightly Manta... Peaches swings a mean rolling pin.

  <body>&lt;p&gt;Japan shocked the U.S. softball team 3-1 on Thursday to win the gold medal. It was led by right-handed pitcher &lt;strong&gt;Yukiko Ueno&lt;/strong&gt;, who completed a remarkable 24 hours of hurling.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ueno pitched 21 innings in that stretch --including two extra-inning games on Wednesday against the U.S. and Australia --&amp;nbsp;while throwing a grand total of 490 pitches. Wow.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Which makes us wonder: What will Ueno do for an encore?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10.&lt;/strong&gt; Fall down laughing at the &amp;quot;&lt;strong&gt;Joba&lt;/strong&gt; Rules&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9.&lt;/strong&gt; Re-enact the game live for NBC&amp;#39;s primetime coverage&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;8.&lt;/strong&gt; Find a glacier to ice her arm&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7.&lt;/strong&gt; Reveal secret of her &amp;quot;smogball&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6.&lt;/strong&gt; Pen letter in support of &lt;strong&gt;Dusty Baker&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5.&lt;/strong&gt; Try to lift her arm over her head&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4.&lt;/strong&gt; Become the Mets&amp;#39; closer&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3.&lt;/strong&gt; Deflect charges her approach was &amp;quot;underhanded&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2.&lt;/strong&gt; Windmill motion draws billion-dollar bid from &lt;strong&gt;T. Boone Pickens&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.&lt;/strong&gt; Take the rest of her life off&amp;nbsp;-- thanks, IOC&lt;/p&gt;</body>
