    I just got to thinking, why the hell were the Brooklyn Dodgers called the Dodgers?

    So I looked it up: Originally back in 1895, they were known as the Trolley Dodgers. Within a few years, it was shortened to just the Dodgers.

    I immediately had mental images of people doing that. Yep, that fits! Neat!

    Anyway, this is a good thread topic. I have random thoughts all the time.

    Carry on...

    If China was going to open a chain of generic, overpriced American food, it would be called Buffalo Express.

    Ever had chitlins?

    I did once, and it tasted like shit was still in the tube.

    Plus the things were chewy. As in trying to chew a superball. Chew chew chew and getting absolutely nowhere.
     
  5. No. I would try them though.
    We stopped at some southern Sunday buffet and they had these little, hard curls on the bar. I thought maybe they were onion rings, curly fries. Nope. It was fatback. It was HARD as a rock.

    Reading a non-rhyming children's book after 3 or 4 rhyming ones is always a bit of a mind-#$@#

    The Yahoo front page is absolutely obsessed with how sexy Elizabeth Hurley looks in one bikini or another. Every day there is a "story" about her.

    I do click on every damn one of them, so maybe they are just providing the content because they know I will click. Wait, I'm the one obsessed with Elizabeth Hurley. Now it makes sense.

    I always wondered what happened to Dennis Hopper's photojournalist character from Apocalypse Now in a way I've never wondered about a character.

    So, I think he'd write a best-selling book about his experiences....then teach at UCLA or something.
