  23. can't think of a good book and author--one of my favorite comics (Kudzu by Doug Marlette) has a favorite character who is the Baptist Preacher in the town of "Bypass" (there's a lot of such towns in the South of the US). His name is the Rev. Will B. Dunn!

    Capt, I'm here from Michele's this morning.
