OK, search keeps blowing up on me. Have y'all addressed the ugly orange bill boards that have a bunch of nonsense words rhyming with "ate?" They are way too common in OKC; I don't know if they are plaguing the rest of the state.

I remember when I was a kid, while driving into a town, there would be signs on fence post about every hunner'd yards or so. Each sign would make up a rhyme like that. I think it was Burma Shave. I may be wrong. I may be drunk. I may be both.

Yes, you're thinking of Burma Shave.

I'm not sure I remember right, but the bulletin boards I'm thinking about go something like:

Instigate, Agitate, Irritate. D'Oh! State

It was Burma Shave, there is a restaurant down here called Catfish Parlor that has a bunch of them. When we went up to OKC in April we took US-281 up, there are a few of them in place on the fence rows between here and there.

In Tulsa, over the Greyhound bus station parking lot, they have a big orange monstrosity sporting Pistol Pete proclaiming "The State's University." I guess they figure people who travel by bus are their target demographic.

The "Burma Shave" thing makes me think of "The World's Fastest Indian". Great flick, that one.

Fixed again.
