    Probably the best catfish I've ever eaten was in Mississippi. It was down 49 somewhere, but #### if I remember exactly where.

    Was it in or near or had some connection to an Igloo? Trying to remember 49 years back. It was associated with some distinctive type of architecture, left side (east) of 49, 2 0r 3 miles down from US80 then.
    Did it...?
    A well-known catfish restaurant on Highway 49 S near Jackson, MS, is Jerry's Catfish House in Florence, MS. It's famous for its "All You Can Eat" catfish platters, and its unique igloo-shaped building makes it a popular spot. The restaurant offers a variety of sides like sweet cole slaw, french fries, and hushpuppies.

    Most likely Jerry's in Florence,. It's all you can eat, probably comes from Simmons Catfish in Yazoo City.

    First time I’d heard that one, but I do remember reading once that the whole reason heroin was even conceived of was to wean returning soldiers off of morphine.

    Now we have methadone, the new “cure” for the old “cure”. :rolleyes:

    Bayer AG, a German pharmaceutical company synthesized both Aspirin and a Morphine derivative it named Heroin in the 1890’s, trade marking both “names”. They were over the counter products. They lost the trademark status for these products after the German loss in WWI and the subsequent seizure of assets.
