(15,774 posts)got a mule shoe in Muleshoe, it was over 100 degrees when I went to Hell, got some dimes in my change in Dime Box, had a rough time in Cut and Shoot, a good time in Hoop and Holler and Ding Dong, hadt some candy in nearby Sugarland, drank water in Sweetwater, carried my concealed gun in Gun Barrell City, ate french fries in Paris, had a fish sandwich in Marlin, went through the pass in El Paso, saw a possum near Possum Kingdom Lake (saw the diving pigs too), had wine in Grapevine, winked in Wink, had Kermit, Elmo, and Nemo in the car when my young daughter and I went through Kermit, Elmo, and Nemo, and had some Blue Bell ice cream in Paradise.
I went to Waxahachie but just didn't know what to make of it.
Edited to add we have our fair share of Nimrod, Dumas, Krum, and Looneyville, Babyhead and Gaylord. It must be the hot sun that cooks peoples brains down here.
