It was foggy when we packed up and left Ponca on Friday morning, but we climbed out of the valley into the sunshine of a gorgeous day--a perfect day for traveling and for...UHFing!
What, you might ask, is "UHFing"?
Let us go back to 1989 when "Weird Al" Yankovic wrote and starred in a go-nowhere film called "UHF" that later became a cult classic and Phil's all-time favorite movie since childhood. It was filmed in Tulsa, OK, and since we happened to be driving through Tulsa on our way home, and since many of the places in the film are still there, it became a necessary stop.
Our first stop was "Big Edna's Burger World". This is what it looked like in the movie:
It has since been painted red and is now the home of the "Knotty Pig" BBQ and burger joint.
We got there just in time for lunch and boy was it ever GOOD! I've never seen such a variety of big, crazy burgers on one menu, and the BBQ was delicious. It was very reasonably priced too. Highly recommend!
Loved the welcome sign in the door!
Next stop was the apartment of Raul Hernandez of "Raul's Wild Kingdom".
He may not have needed no "stinking badgers," but I'm sure Raul could have used a couple of goats in his apartment!
Next up was the cemetery from "Plots R Us" mortuary service.
We didn't bring our goats in of course, but we snapped a quick shot from the street corner.
After visiting the cemetery, we walked back to the downtown area on our way to "City Hall" and stopped at a fountain so the goats could grab a drink (yes, I checked it for chlorine first).
