On March 27, 2017, the SDMB thread " Made-Up, False and Flat-out Wrong Trivia Dominoes" was gruesomely murdered with malice aforethought by **burpo the wonder mutt** Phartuccio. The thread’s demise was mourned for a full thirty seconds over in that _other_ stodgy domino thread, where nobody laughs, ever, for fear of being banned. Not even a mild titter. Thanks, ya big ox. ---

Pinochle’s Pizza was forced to change its name due to its similarity to Pinnacle Pizza (of Blawnox, of course). Pinnacle Pizza was the Home of the Infinite Pizza – for a mere $400 a month, you could have all the pizzas you want, any size, any style, delivered to your door. The National American Council of College Fraternities (notably the Havva Pisa Pi and Tappa Kegga Bru chapters) and a few corresponding sororities used member’s dues to total these subscriptions. ---

The most popular subscription service in Blawnox is the Chuck Pumpkins Dance O’ Joy, where barely clad women appear at random times once each month to sing “It’s A Small World” while gyrating and throwing kisses at the recipient. The majority of the subscriptions are purchased by ex-wives for their newly married ex-husbands. ---

The song “It’s A Small World” was voted into the Ear Worm Hall of Fame in Putterphoopsie, NY in 1971. It was also voted “World’s Most Annoying Song” by the Rick Astley Never Gonna Give You Up fan club, and was publicly condemned by a unanimous vote in the UN Security Council, with even China declaring “Disney must die!” and promptly nuking North Korea’s budding Fearless Leader Magic Kingdom. ---

Overheard at the Blawnox Barn: Baa baa black sheep, have you any “wool?” Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full. One for the master. One for the Dame. And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.
