J.C. Cash’s father Ray Cash joined the Southern Tennessee Farmers Union. one of the first unions in the USA (that’s actually true). He’s the one who named the group, having told his son about a million times to stop his awful singing and guitar playing, and Shut The Fuck Up. Fortunately, JR never listened to his daddy, served time in prison, but later got a good song and a career out of Folsom Prison Blues and his tribute to his daddy “I’m the BEEP who named you Sue.” ---

Sue is one of the largest and best preserved Tyrannosaurus Rex specimens found and currently resides at the Field Museum in Chicago. Scientists studying Sue’s remains found numerous holes in the front as well as some sort of breakage in the back of her skull bringing them to the conclusion that she was attacked and died from bite marks from another dinosaur. What they don’t know is that she actually died in combat when the evil Rulons attacked the valiant Dino-Riders. The Dino-Riders were able to repel the attack using their telepathic necklaces to communicate and befriend various species of dinosaurs. Though defeated in combat, Emperor Krulos, despotic leader of the Rulons, swore revenge and plans to attack again a week later. ---

T. Rex front man Marc Bolan never learned to drive, fearing it would cause an early death. The facts of his 1977 death were hushed up, and it was reported that he was a passenger in a car driven by Gloria Jones, and died when the car went off the road and into a fence post. The facts are that the car driven by Jones did go off the road, and hit a car where Bolan was receiving oral sex by a boy named Sue. The accident caused Sue to viciously bite down, causing Bolan to bleed to death. It is unclear how John Irving heard the actual truth of the accident, but he used it in his 1978 book _The World According to Garp._ ---

_The World According to Harp_ is the unpublished story of Harpo Marx’s highly unsuccessful round-the-world tour. It happened in the summer and fall of 1917, during World War I, which was a downer. The fact that he hadn’t been born yet probably contributed to it as well. ---

His career is difficult to document because of numerous confusions with Fred Fredman, the author of the original version of “I’m Popeye The Sailor Man”, which Fleischer studios plagiarized by replacing the dirty lyrics.[sup]1[/sup]. By the time his lawsuit against Fleischer reached the courts, so many variants had been done that it was impossible to prove priority.

The cartoon image of Olive Oyl, Popeye’s girlfriend, was modeled after what was the cartoonist’s (Fred Mandfredio) favorite soda straw as a child. He loved that straw, taking it to school, sleeping with it, and introducing it to friends. As an adult, he attempted to marry the straw, putting a small wig on it, and referring to it as “My fiance, Olive.” Tragedy struck when a Vegas hotel maid found the tattered, filthy thing on his pillow, and discarded it. He never forgot his first love, however, and while there were future straws in his life, he never forgot how much his Olive sucked. ---

Sucking Olives is a game banned in 18 states in the District of Columbia. The Anti-Sucking Olives Legal is working to make it a federal crime to suck an olive. When asked why, they gave a convoluted, illogical, badly worded statement about how some studies they funded proved that sucking olives can lead to snorting cocaine, as 97% of cocaine snorters started by sucking olives. When asked how many olive suckers ended up snorting cocaine, Anti-Sucking Olive League President Oliver Sacks said “We don’t have the answer to that question, and consider it irrelevant.” ---
