Why?

We used to get several of those a year when I lived in Auburn. First, we would get Auburn's. Then we would get the Auburn-Opelika one (Opelika being Auburn's sister city that is right next door). And then we would get one for the county around Auburn.

Georgia needs to stop stealing city names from Maine.

I can't even tell you how many times I've been derping around the internet - "oh look a great new restaurant just opened in Augusta!".... oh... Augusta, Georgia.

Don't even get me started on Portland, Oregon. Bastards.

Stealing from Maine? Wait a minute, which one was an original colony, and which one was Massachusetts' bitch?

But yeah, fuck Oregon. Always taking Maine's city names...

I could understand our elders may needing a Yellow Pages, but the print is too darned small for them to read. I've used the Yellow pages as packing paper when moving, and that is about the only use I can see fit for it.

My buddy Truluck: Sorry I haven't been in touch in a while, I spent a few weeks in Athens...

Me: Gedowwdatown!

Truluck: ...Georgia.

Me: Oh.

Tried that in High School. Didn't turn out well for me.

I realized that Yellow Books do serve more purposes:

Rip it in half to impress your friends (which you can't do, but you can try and make your friends laugh and possibly give yourself a hernia)

Makes a great door stop

Find funny names for prank calls

Charcoal starter for a chimney



...that's about it.
