Thanks for any suggestions.

consider a "handle" change. the only other time i have seen or heard
that name was when my uncle john laid the same moniker on his pet
chimpanzee, back in 1959.

my cousin darius had to punch him (the chimp, not his dad) out with a
shovel to keep him from murdering his mother.

Wasn't Jaboo the name of the voodoo deity in charge of baseball
bats in the movie "Major League" ?

Where did "tar heel" come from. (I know I could Google it, but I figure
might as well ask one.)

Carolina students are too poor to afford both a basketball and a pair of Air
Jordan's, so the shoes had to go.

afaik, there are two explanations, both anecdotal. the most popular
attributes various observations by any number of generals, up to and
including lee himself, that the north carolinians stood so steady under fire
that they must have tar on their heels. then, there is the tale from the
revolutionary war that british soldiers complained of picking up tar on
their feet every time they crossed the piney woods rivers in the eastern
part of the state.
both these legends have a common origin, which is the most likely
authentic source of the nickname: the early economy of the state depended
on the production of resin, turpentine, and tar from the plentiful pine
forests in the eastern part of the state. those who worked in such an
industry would constantly be covered from head to toe in the gooey
substances. these folks were usually poor country boys. during the civil
war, the patrician virginians would refer to north carolinians, derisively,
as "tar heels".

just another service provided by little wayno's trout shop and trivia
center. as you know, our motto is, "we never close".

And here all this time I thought it referred to all the mounds of old tires
around the state, pronounced locally as "tar heels". g

Now *there* is some info I would have bet good money on never being
posted in roff. . . or anywhere else, for that matter. 'Gives the
