COOTER FEST

It's not often you Google "cooter" and end up learning something. But today we did just that and discovered that Jim Bob's last name is "of African origin; akin to Bambara and Malinke kuta turtle chiefly South & Midland." We're not sure what that means. We were going to try to figure it out, but then we read this: Cooter also "refers to a certain part of the female anatomy located south of the Mason-Dixon Line." Whoa. Hold up. We are just as shocked as the organizers of the Inverness Cooter Festival were. But like good Americans, they're not letting any smut stop them from celebrating Cooter. God bless them. Our favorite is 63-year old Vernon Simmons, who said the word "don't faze" him because "we ate a lot of cooters in my day." Bet you did, Vern.

Also, here's a T-shirt for sale from a Cooter Fest. Doesn't seem to be the same one. Doesn't matter. Rock the "A Little Cooter Never Hurt Anyone" tee and be the envy of the schoolyard.
