Re: What do them muthas call us?
No real enthusiasm for all of this, but should the residents of Embarrass, Minnesota be called "Embarrassites" or "Embarrassments"?
And one supposes that the denizens of Tampa, Florida float their *tampans*, impose *tampaxes*(and contribute to PACs of the same name)and answer to "Tampons." And the citizen-soldiers of a certain city in Georgia must be "Climaxites." And one could sing about the truckers who've driven every kind of rig to frequent a bordello renamed after a visit by a famous "don't you know who I am?" patron as they drive from Tuscon to Twocumkerry (and then on from to Tehachapi to Tonapah). And Bush and Kerry could debate unemployment and day labor prospects in Arizona for the Tempeites. And perhaps the Hilton Headians of South Carolina could be sistercitians to french Parisians. Our diplomats there, btw., could earn their "stripes" by calling all frenchmen, "Francis." -tho "Yo,Psycho" could be substituted in the case of Minister of This'n That, Nicolas Sarkozy.
Reminds me- didn't respond this week to an online alumnus query from Stetson University. While I recall that some of the faculty were liberal in orientation, can't say that I agree with the Cato Institute's condemnation of both the gown *and* the town: "DeLand delenda est!"
