If the economy don't improve, we're all going to be really freaking bored

How does a town get the name Gastonia?

I have an F-150. I don't ride the bus. My guess is the same reason every other government ran thing is closed/stopped on Sundays

I have a friend that lives in Fort Mill, SC and she once told me that all of the women in Gastonia still rocked the camaro hair. Is this true?

Stealth answered that question for me.

Negative. Due to recent popularity, your woman can have the choice of Camaro Mullet or Kate Gosselin bitchin sidewayz

How come you Carolina people don't wear shoes?
Helps us move quiter through the woods. We gotta sneak up on the Hillbillies in Hickory, NC.

Great Questions, keep em coming

If I suffer from severe bouts of flatulence, and I move to Gastonia, would people believe me if I tell them the town was named after my distant relatives?

Ya know, If casually during coc-ktail parties, I introduce myself as "Hi, I'm Alex Gastonia "the Fourth", this town was named after my great great grandfather Jocks Gastonia the First.

Would I get away with it? Of course I would pass wind at every opportunity to make the story that much more believable (but this comes naturally for me anyway) The whole time I would be saying "Pull my finger, pull my finger!"

I just love BS-ing at parties, and the drunker I get, the taller the tale.

If you really want to have some fun ask 1st4x4 about the section of Gastonia called Boogertown, or some of the neighboring towns such as Cherryville. I'm really anxious to see how they got their names!
