Another purloined nickname
Stop us before we steal again. Now some marketing genius has decided to start calling Fayetteville the "Track Capital of the World." Sure, John McDonnell's Razorbacks have won 39 NCAA championships, and the UA is building a first-class outdoor track to match our indoor one. But Eugene, Ore., has been called "Track Capital of the World" for 40 years. A little originality, please.

Stuttgart, AR. bills itself as the 'rice and duck' capital of the world. But what about China in the rice case? 'capital of the world', 'world's best', and 'great' or 'greatest' are all overused to the point of madness--the only 'great' things I know are the wall in China and the Zambini Brothers!
