The Mother Road. Current maps do not include old Route 66. Route 66 is 2448 miles long. (about 4000 km)
Route 66 was commissioned in 1926, picking up as many as possible bits and pieces of existing road. Route 66 crosses 8 states and 3 time zones.
Route 66 starts in Chicago, and ends in L.A. (Santa Monica).
Some people think driving it in the opposite direction is historically wrong, but it's mainly a lot harder as all available documentation goes the "right" way. In 1926 only 800 miles of Route 66 were paved. Only in 1937 Route 66 got paved end-to-end.
You can only drive parts of Route 66 these days... it has been replaced by the interstate highways I-55, I-44, I-40, I-15 and I-10, but still a surprisingly high amount of old road is waiting to be found by the more adventurous traveler.
Route 66 is also know as "The Mother Road", "The Main Street of America" and "The Will Rogers Highway".
During all of its life, Route 66 continued to evolve, leaving many abandoned stretches of concrete, still waiting to be found by the more curious and patient traveler.
Route 66 was also the title of a TV series playing from 1960 till 1964
Cyrus Stevens Avery from Tulsa Oklahoma can be called the father of Route 66
In 1985 Route 66 was officially decommissioned, but for daily use it was replaced far earlier by the Interstates.
The National Historic Route 66 Federation is the worldwide, nonprofit organization dedicated to directing the public's attention to the importance of U. S. Highway Route 66 in America's cultural heritage and acquiring the federal, state and private support necessary to preserve the historic landmarks and revitalize the economies of communities along the entire 2,400-mile stretch of road.

Some parts of old route 66 are very cool, e.g. the General Store in Hackberry Arizona. The original highway went from Chicago to Los Angeles.

Get the route 66 mug.Annoying and often Idiotic slogans, sayings and proclamations that are attached to the bumpers of the vehicles of usually rednecks or aging hippies.
These abrasive slogans are displayed by the proud owners in lieu of actual original thought and expression. Ditto for the stupid fishies that fundies adorn their autos with, smugly trying to project some sort of superiority, but only showing their boundless stupidity.

honk if you love jesus
It's in the Bible, I believe it, and that settles it
If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns
In case of rapture, this vehicle will be unmanned
Tourettes is a GODAMNED, SERIOUS fucking CONDITION, man!

Tourette Syndrome is an inherited, neurological disorder characterized by repeated and involuntary body movements (tics) and uncontrollable vocal sounds. In a minority of cases, the vocalizations can include socially inappropriate words and phrases -- called coprolalia. These outbursts are neither intentional nor purposeful. Involuntary symptoms can include eye blinking, repeated throat clearing or sniffing, arm thrusting, kicking movements, shoulder shrugging or jumping.
These and other symptoms typically appear before the age of 18 and the condition occurs in all ethnic groups with males affected 3 to 4 times more often than females. Although the symptoms of TS vary from person to person and range from very mild to severe, the majority of cases fall into the mild category. Associated conditions can include attentional problems, impulsiveness and learning disabilities.

Get the tourettes mug.A variation of the card game savage injun that is not recommended for rational, sober poker players. In the original game of savage injun there are two cards dealt, face down to all players. The players then hold the cards up to their foreheads, face out,(like an Indian's feathers on a head-dress) where you cannot see your own cards, but all of your opponents can see your cards. You bet on your knowledge of the other player's cards.
In the doctor pepper version (not recommended), the game is complicated by having wild cards of 10-2-4. Not for the feint of heart.
