It seems the Katrina/Rita disasters has opened the floodgate for fear mongers for all the other disasters that could be lurking out there.

A pork grab.

I had a good friend who was stationed in Japan during the Korean war. His last name was Hogg.

He told me every time a Japanese asked his name and the phrase got translated, they would giggle. I may not remember this right but I think he said they called him Buto San.

Just like it sounds. However New Madrid, Missouri is frequently mispronounced. It's not the same as Madrid, Spain.

Not near as hard to say as Toad Suck which is just down the road from Little Rock!
