Hey, You . . .

| January 18th, 2008

Hey, you. Thanks for visiting. Here’s a little factoid about your homeland that you might not know:

Overland Park, Kansas: Your largest employer is Sprint Nextel Corporation. Also, you are the headquarters for Applebees. I can, then, only assume that you have enjoyed some killer Applebees riblets.

Wylie, Texas: You were originally called Nickelville. Yep. That’s right. The name was changed when a coyote with a box of acme rockets arrived in Nickelville and set up a basecamp for his roadrunner extermination efforts.

Yamagata, Japan: You have 50 Wi-Fi locations. That’s a nice even number. Did you do that on purpose?

Urbana, Illinois: You produced the 2003 Miss America. But, did you know she was born in 1980? That’s the same year I was born! Now that’s what I call a connection.

Glendale, California: You have 5 sister cities: Kapan, Armenia; Higashiosaka, Japan; Hiroshima, Japan; Tlaquepaque, Mexico; Rosarito Beach, Mexico. That’s quite a diverse family you’ve got there.

More factoids to come. Stay tuned for your homeland . . .

    This is hilarious. You must have nothing to do, just like me! And you must have Google Analytics, just like me! I always wonder who in South Korea is reading my blog…

    Leann » Actually I used amung.us to find out where people where coming from. It’s pretty handy! As far as nothing to do . . . not exactly. Just up later than I should be!

    I love factoids. The actual capital of Oklahoma was originally Guthrie but the outlaws stole the paperwork and moved it to OK City. Worthless information for your MLK Day.
