Mongo Like Hamsters

I got an interesting hit just now, for someone from Mongo, Indiana, looking for stuff on the Hampster Dance. Odd timing, since Alex Karras, who played Mongo in Blazing Saddles, just passed on earlier this week.

Mongo is an unincorporated village in Springfield Township, LaGrange County, Indiana. The name Mongo derives from the early settlers' name for the area, Mongoquinong.
