What's in a name?

This road sign for Rose Blumkin Dr either: (1) means nothing to you; (2) brings to mind the now-deceased Russian immigrant who started Nebraska Furniture Mart; or (3) recalls one of the more disgusting sexual maneuvers of all time.

Urban Dictionary if you must...but be prepared to throw up in your mouth a little bit.

The Benedict Arnold of Ketchup


Less than a week in Omaha and Season is already betraying her Pittsburgh and Heinz School roots -- forgoing Heinz for the clearly inferior Hunt's brand ketchup. For shame.

Interestingly, ConAgra produces Hunt's and is based in Omaha (is that interesting?). That means Season has inhabited both U.S. ketchup capitols -- Pittsburgh and Omaha. It remains to be seen which she prefers.
