Two Things Only Tenuously Linked.

Written by sally @ 1:02 pm — Section: mississippiana,nuggets

1. I was looking for the location of someone’s family cemetery this morning and came across these oh-some Mississippi town names:

Bonus
Bewelcome
Hustler
Dick

No, really: Dick, Mississippi. I also found a small body of water called Goober Creek. Imagine going to Hustler, Dick, and Goober Creek all in the same day. I think I would die of happiness.

2. When I was going to lunch, I glanced in the backseat of the car parked next to me and saw a child’s carseat with 3 chicken nuggets and a handful of french fries in the bottom of it. Upon closer inspection there were several Sonic bags on the floorboard and a toy truck caked with mud in the back window. Yes!

    My classmates and I first discovered Dick, Mississippi on the state map during our 10th grade social studies class. And hoo, the many jokes that were made.

    My other favorites are Zero (I have relatives there – honest) and It. No kidding: It, Mississippi. Imagine the sign as you’re driving into town, “Welcome to It.” I love that.

    Did you know that the primary currency of Vietnam is the dong? I just learned that yesterday. I thought I would share.
