FLuid Abysmal Kansas
That's appropriate, as far as I am concerned! Kansas is at least ten thousand miles of nothing. Nothing to see except fields of waving grain. Not a hill in sight, to the horizon on ALL sides, and hardly any trees, either. Gave me the heebie-jeebies. Thereafter on my trips out west, I drove hundreds of miles out of my way, specifically to avoid driving through Kansas. Are you listening, CK?
Aksherly, mine was a mondegreen, but a semi-intentional one. The van is most often spelled Kombi, and that is the original German spelling. The "Vdub" was my childhood misinterpretation, used here as an homage to international copyright protection laws.
I have never heard of a Kombi--I thought Vdub Kombi was some
unknown language! An homage? Quel dommage!
