Heaven-O, Everyone!

I was browsing through Wikipedia (yes, I do that when I run out of uninteresting things to do) and I came across this morsel of information...
In 1997, Kleberg County Commissioners unanimously voted to adopt "heaven-o" as the official greeting of the county instead of "hello".[3] Kleberg County residents are now encouraged to use "heaven-o" to acknowledge one another. The reason cited for the change was the fact that hello contains the word hell, even though it is not etymologically related. [link to story]

...and that's pretty much all I wanted to mention.  I Snopes dot com'ed that shit, too.  Nothing. 

The Onion.  We're living in the fucking Onion!

Eek.

  1. That's funny and disturbing at the same time. But after "freedom fries" I guess anything is possible...

  4. Hey, Gabe. I tend to be more productive when I am chained to a desk at work -- I haven't had a desk job since Mid November. I actually thought I'd be blogging like crazy since, but the opposite has happened. Weird, right? I will update soon...hope to visit you guys in NC one day or something.
