 Surely something dumber has come up since my apparent forgetfulness for STDs and doctor visits.

Basically what the thread title says. I'm on leave until the 25th of November and want to get acquainted with the country I've been doing nothing for in the desert for the past year. I have a few destination points along the way, but I'll let you guys guide me for a bit. Here's how my scedule works out so far.
Leave Nashville, TN tomorrow morning (November 10th).
Stop in Clyde, Ohio on or around the November 18th to visit with old college chums.
End my voyage in Bonfield, Illinois on November 20th to visit family for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.
Basically that gives you guys 8 days to determine where I should go and what I should do. I'd like to spend a day in each place I stop to get trashed and meet and greet with the locals. That leaves me time to take a few suggestions and get random pictures of road signs which involve humorous words. I will be driving the entire journey, no flights for me. I'd like to stay out of mountains to avoid overkill on my car, but otherwise I'll go anywhere reasonable in driving distance.
Things I'll be taking with me:
My cell phone. I'll post the number in here if anyone wants to call and keep me from driving off the road when my caffeine levels run low.
My laptop. If I get lucky enough to find a hotel along the way with broadband access, I'll jump online and leave my location.
My camera. It's nothing special and if I see a random giraffe on the side of the road, I'll be ready to take a picture of it.
Clothes. Duh.
A shitload of music (I need time to burn some cds before I go).
My digital video camera. I don't have many tapes or memory for it, but I'll do what I can with it.
Now it's time I listen to you guys for a bit. I'm travelling alone, so if anyone can think of something that will be nice to accompany me on my travel (funny hat to get attention in bars, a PA system to yell at traffic, a pet goldfish named Delilah, whatever), then I'll consider it and possibly add it to my list. Also, if anyone is willing to tag along and can either make it to Nashville overnight or manage to be at a stop along the way, I'd enjoy the company (not a rapist).
Remember, be reasonable with suggestions. I'm going to avoid doing anything illegal unless I find it really entertaining or if it leads to MUWHAHAHA 1NT3RNET!!!! FAM3!! (not really).
Now the catch. You guys have about 13 hours to make these suggestions before I go to sleep or pass out drunk, most likely the latter. If anyone wants to hold an impromtu little meet along the way, just call and let me know (I'll post my number before I take off in the morning) or leave a message in this thread, I'm sure I'll check in on it every few days.
DEADLINE FOR SUGGESTIONS ON CARRY ALONG ITEMS IS: Midnight Central Standard Time Tonight (Nov. 9th)
Now, take me wherever you guys would take me.
If my ears could talk, they would say, "Thank you, Zorak. You have enriched us both."
