Hey chaddog
My personal favorite pop culture reference comes from Saturday morning cartoons growing up. Many Bugs Bunny cartoon shorts have featured Bugs traveling around the world by burrowing underground. He often gets lost while traveling and remarks, while consulting a map, "I knew I should have taken that left turn at Albuquerque!"
