I have a spherical Earth puzzle with 555 pieces, including a piece number 314 which had a part of South America on it IIRC. Should've been Wisconsin :lol

I swear I just heard the cosmo theme in an episode of King of the Hill. It involved Hank trying to sell propane to some guy from Boston obsessed with Texan stereotypes. Wish I could find it.
