No, actually, I think the order of events was: Guy makes twine ball over the course of many many years. Other guy writes book called Roadside America, which lists all the attractions that would later be found in BBOTIM. Al reads Roadside America, writes & records song (1989). Somebody in Darwin, MN opens up Twine Ball Inn restaurant and has postcards printed. Al visits Darwin and Twine Ball (1996).



Other life-imitates-Al item: I'm pretty sure that somebody hand-made and then sold on eBay a Dukes of Hazzard ash tray after Al's song was released. Keep watching for Shatner's toupee to show up!

I actually lost my toenail clippers the day before Poodle Hat came out. I still haven't found them. :(

I just want to add how unnerving it is to see one of those when you're driving through Atlanta.
