Know Your Pocomoke

1. You probably know that Big Cat and JG were elementary school classmates, while Bex and Old Bear also share a grade-school alma mater. Who met first: Big Cat and JG or Bex and Old Bear?

2. Name the now-defunct arcade from which Big Cat and JG received a lifetime ban in seventh grade. Hint: it was located only a few mintues away from Pocomoke.

3. Christmas is gone but not forgotten at Pocomoke. Though we reluctantly took down the ol' Tannenbaum over Super Bowl weekend, it currently resides on top of the "compost" heap in the corner of the backyard. Meanwhile, Big Cat has reiterated his intention to stand the tree up inside the fire pit and set it aflame. This isn't really a question - just an invitation to send Big Cat your thoughts on why this is such a terrible idea.

4. If you could pick a theme song for 1605 N. Pocomoke, what would it be?

Answers to follow later this week.

1. Been a long time Hock n' Bloggers - nice to be back. I'm going to guess Bex and Old Bear met first.

2. No clue, but I'll bet Lydia knows what she's talking about.

3. Sweet, send out an evite, I'll be there!

4. They Might Be Giants' classic "Istanbul, not Constantinople" Feel like it captures your geographic interests, everyone loves it, and it has a solid part for Bex to chime in "Why they changed it I can't say...people just liked it better that way!"

1. This is a trick question, isn't it? Can I vote that Old Bear and JG met first?

2. Lydia's answer looks good to me, too.

3. Since wood-fired pizza is all the rage, I recommend buying some mozzarella and pizza dough, burning the tree, and calling it a Hock n'Blog Special.

4. Ditto "Istanbul, not Constantinople"
