Crazy things you probably didn't know about the States.

ETA: I knew this about my State, the place is about 1 1/2 hours from me. I bought a pair of Costa del Mar sunglasses there about a month age. $250.00 glasses for $60.00.

A school for the deaf has a "leopard" for a mascot.
Def Leppard ROCKS!

Colorado
Every year, a town celebrates a frozen dead guy.
That's what made the Grateful Dead grateful they didn't play there in winter.

Metropolis, Ill., a real city which claims to be Superman's hometown.
What a bunch of morons, everybody knows it's Smallville!

And saving the worst for last we have Nude Jersey
Professor John Lattimer kept what is allegedly Napoleon's penis in his Englewood home until his death in 2007. Napoleon's complex might not have been caused by his height.

Oh, you bought a pair of sun glasses for $60. Would you like fries with that?

That would be Nederland, CO. It is been an interesting place for music, and still is.

Remember Caribou Studios? :mrgreen:

I've been past that many times. Kind of glad I never stopped in now looking at the reviews they mentioned.

New Jersey isn't the Garden State, it's the State of Confusion on the Eastern Sleazeboard of the Altered States and the only state with a penis. The governor is a dick head but look at the map.

I thought Caribou Studios was in Wasilla, Alaska, but music in Colorado is getting a lot more interesting since marihuana was legalized. Eh, whomever put up that web page doesn't know the who's who of music. For one thing Joe Walsh for all practical purposes IS the Eagles and Jorma Kaukonanan is anything BUT new talent.

Oh, in case you haven't noticed, the White House has been upside down for quite a few years.
