EGGHEAD JUNIOR'S GLASSES
West Texas

I had to research this a bit. Even with my semi-encyclopedic knowledge of absolutely worthless information, this one was beating me. Well, remember in the Foghorn Leghorn cartoons, there was one particular character who was the son of Miss Prissy. I don't know why I identify with Miss Prissy - she was a widowed spinster hen of sorts, and had the oddest way of talking, but I liked her. She had a son, a Poindexter type - a large headed chick - and he never talked much, mostly mumbled, though he was very intelligent. He wore glasses that looked, more or less, like these "glasses" in this gate in West Texas. His name was Egghead Junior. So anyway, here then, are Junior's glasses, immortalized on a spectacular gate on 118 north of Fort Davis. Did I lose you completely on this one? Perhaps you are too young, or you never watched Looney Tunes. Don't get me started on Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy.
