A chain of filling stations that sell only E85 fuel. The name of the stations? They took a cue from Phillips 66 and named themselves Ethans 366.

As a ripoff of a shirt i once got in Fredericksburg, Texas...

Picture this commercial being done by Sam Elliot.

Highway 23 Roadkill Jerky and Fireworks Bizarre.

"We got your possum, venison, squirrel and skunk needs all here. Who needs beef and pork at such high prices when you can get some great jerky using raccoon?
Then, when you're done eating, shoot off some of the loudest, gaseous fireworks this side of the Mississippi using a Desert Eagle. They may not be as big and bright as Crazy Kaplan's but we guarantee they will make the whole county know you got fireworks. Jason Pierre Paul endorsed us.
We also got a petting zoo for the little ones where the can pet a family of badgers. Don't worry. They don't bite hard anymore.
So come on down to our outlet store on Highway 23 west of Downtown Princeton right next to Uncle Howie's Roadside BBQ.
Bring the kids and have a blast!"

*No actual animals were harmed in the making of this commercial.*

What is a Texas turnaround?

It's when the Texas toast is falling butter-side down, someone reaches out with their toe to tick it just before it hits down, and it flips over.

No, that's a Texas turnover.  I understand how people get them mixed up, though.

It was actually intended to be a joke about a certain former IT tech from New York.

spotted yellow-throated warbler!

As a birdwatcher myself, spotting interesting warblers should get you more than 55%. I'm also taking this opportunity to complain about the yellow-throated warbler and the common yellowthroat being two different species of warbler, which is just confusing.
