Today, the cows mooved Erika Meyer to write:

i believe the full saying is 'yellow stripes *and dead armadillos*.'

(see also jim hightower's book 'there's nothing in the middle of the road
but yellow stripes and dead armadillos',
[http://www.powells.com/cgi-bin/biblio?show=Trade%20Paper:New:0060929499:13.00]),
from the author of 'If the Gods Had Meant Us to Vote, They'd Have Given Us
Candidates')
