- I believe it's "Carolina Red", but I could be mistaken.
-
- Here's an idea I had for a K-Mart shenanigan: Call a K-Mart, and say
- something like this.
-
- "Hello. I think my mother is in the store, and I need to speak to her
- urgently. Can you have her paged?"
-
- "Sure. What's her name?"
-
- "Carolina Red."
-
- ... In which case one of two things would happen. (1) the employee would
- page Carolina Red, signalling to other employees that the store is on
- fire... or (2) the employee would try to convince me that she couldn't
- possibly call my mother because she had that name, in which case I could
- get irate about it, or ask her to page "Jeremy Red's Mother", which could
- be funny in itself.
