I think my hometown is in danger of starting to exist. The football, these elections, the incompetent sniper, TV exposure on Jon Stewart, the minimum wage episode of 30 Days (best episode of anything ever televised, even tops The Office 1.4). But it will always need the state name, won't it? It's one word to anyone from elsewhere, Columbusohio. Not sure why it deserves that, since no one has ever been to Columbus, Georgia and lived to tell. Maybe the small town designation will keep it pleasant.
