Heh. I love how the article did a fancy-pants dance around the likelihood that Hempstead (being on Long Island, as it is) was named for its function after all. Nobody remembers the Age of Sail anymore... *sigh*
And what are the chances that li'l Terrell was innocent of his shirt's connotations away down in Jawja? I think we should take a collection and send him an official "Weed Eater" lawn products T-shirt. And a Kellogg's "Special K" shirt to boot. And maybe an "STP" fuel additive shirt, although they might think he's going NASCAR on 'em with that one.
