Hoosiers

I was watching tv and a list of names of people who were
winners in the Hoosier Lottery (that means Indiana for all
you poor people who aren't familiar with the fabulous and
extraordinary corn field that is Indiana) and I was quite
amused. The three that struck me the most were:

Mary Jo Johansen
Buck Wilder
and the greatest of them all...
Little Thomas

Is that even a legal name? Was his check made out
to "Little Thomas"? Honestly, I don't think it gets any
more hickish than those three names. If I had to come up
with stereotypical hick names I would choose these three.
Well, actually I probably would've had a Billy Bob instead
of Little Thomas, but that's because I underestimated how
hickish hicks can be. Maybe his name is actually Little
Tommy and they tried to make it sound more like a real
name by using his full name, Thomas. Or maybe his first
name is Little and his last name is Thomas. You never can
tell when it comes to hicks...
