Flurry was born in Saga City, Alabama. It is just outside Huntsville. Most residents of Saga City are mayonaise ranchers. Flurry's parents were mayonaise ranchers and he was very unhappy. His sagaciousness prompted him to leave his ancestrial home and the family business to start a lightbulb and fuse repair shop. Flurry now lives in a cardboard box under the overpass.
