No more cruising bars or paying for "memberships" to certain "clubs." (NSFW).
From Alert Reader Paul Day, news from NASCAR: Dale Earnhardt, Jr. Announces New Candy Bar: The Big Mo.
Really.
There are surprisingly few comments on the AutoBlog expressing that perhaps not as much thought went into the name as should have--but because being called a big mo is short for being called a moron. Only one or two have suggested that a 'mo might be a homosexual.
Anyone? Anyone?
Yeah. All Big Mo's here.
Another site goes on to say he worked carefully with the confectioner to get the taste "just right" (What do you think a big mo should taste like? Anyone?). It also appears that the name is short for the town where he grew up: Mooresville, NC.
Now I went to college just down the road from Mooresville, and they have their share of big mo's. Both local morons (hardly the norm, but it's on the same educational level as Mayberry I imagine), and local homosexuals (even fewer). One of my fraternity brothers was from Mooresville, and I think he's finally out now (of the closet that is). Lord knows if he ever got the gumption to tell his mamma though. Old Mooresville widow and all.
But as for the Big Mo's, I'm totally ordering a case.
You never when when you'll get a late night hankering for a big mo.
