26 Oct 03 - 01:04 PM (#1042050) Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Little Hawk You should not eat logo, Saul, without first determining whether said logo is made of edible materials. Logo-belly can result from such reckless behaviour. |

26 Oct 03 - 01:06 PM (#1042052) Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Stilly River Sage I usually notice the town when I'm traveling east, is all. It's off the interstate.

27 Oct 03 - 09:58 AM (#1042530) Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Little Hawk Yeah? Well, I've been through Saurin several times and lived to tell the tale! It's a spooky place, and with a name like that should be hiding some dark and terrible secret behind its bland facade. All it consists of (on the surface, I mean) is a stretch of country road with a small house on the right and a farmer's field on the left, and a sign at each end saying "Saurin". (Creepy.....) The population, I would gather, is less than ten souls at best, but what about the undead??? I expect to see Jack Nicolson peering out madly from the windows of the little house... |

27 Oct 03 - 07:23 PM (#1042885) Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Celtaddict Since my original name is Buck, I was delighted when my brother sent me t-shirts from Bucksnort. With the buck on them, of course. They have gone over in Connecticut just as one would expect. He did not send me a jug of the "snort" for which the place is allegedly named. Supposedly a moonshiner named Buck was well enough known that folks used to say, "Let's head over to Buck's for a snort," and that eventually resulted in referring to the place as Bucksnort. So the t-shirt says. If it isn't true, it should be. |
