Get Your Kicks... in French Licks?

How did Indiana come up with these great town names? Out of every state we've traipsed across over the past year, i think Indiana writes its own entries better than the lot. For example, today we're in French Lick. What? Don't worry, i google-imaged it, and you can imagine how that went. Speaking of which, i should do an entire entry on 21st century verbs that would make your grandparents wonder what ever happened to THIS future: George Jetson is like, so not facebooking Astro later on tonight, after he felt up his man-boobs on the way to Hooters for dinner.

God, thats creepy. Anyway, we're in French Lick. Which sounds like a joke, but actually used to be a casino hub for the likes of boxer Joe Louis and Al Capone. Oh yeah, and Franklin D. Roosevelt won his nomination for president in the French Lick Springs Hotel. And somebody named Larry Bird was born here. uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

WHHAAAT!? Apparently French Lick is the greatest town on earth. The bottling plant for a "revolutionary laxative" called Pluto Water, AND Larry Bird? I'm just going to close the research windows right now, for fear that this might get any better. I really just chose this town because it seemed too easy, but now i think i'm moving there. Pretty soon we're going to find out that cookies and lesbians were invented there too. A hidden land of enchantment. If you ever stop hearing from me for ten years or think that i'm dead, i'm probably just chilling in "the Lick."
