I had the Texas twang in there with "Thang'" but spell check defeated me.

Stan,

It's not a "thing", it's a "thang" as in "Wild Thang".  Reminds me of a
beater Impala convertible I once saw as I plied the mean streets of Trenton,
New
Joisey.  It had a homemade plate stuck on its grille which read, "WHEN U HOT
U
HOT".  On the deck was its counterpart, "WHEN U NOT U NOT".  I think this
might have the origins of the Pimped-Out cult.
