1. We can have our laughs, but Sir Richard (Dick) Passwater is a goddamned BADASS!
That's what I want to change my name to, if my "Cesar Geronimo" application gets rejected...

2. If memory serves, Ima Hogg had a sister named...(wait for it)
Ura Hogg.

I hope that their parents were publicly flogged at least once for that.

4. There was no Ura Hogg
Urban legend
Geez, Ima is bad enough in itself (must have been desperate to please some rich relative is all I can think of)
I have been to Varner-Hogg plantation that Gov Jim owned down near West Columbia, pretty place
IIRC when Ima died she was living in a very nice piece of property in the River Oaks section of Houston

5. Uh oh....I've been spreading that urban legend for a long time.
Mea Culpa. You learn all sorts of things on DU! Thanks.
