From Jessica Canterbury, writing for CityBeat,

Why is it that regional pride and familial closeness are considered primarily to be a Southern thing, or more unfortunately, Hillbilly? This was the singular thought that kept popping into my head Wednesday night as I listened to famed Kentucky author Silas House read one of his transporting essays for NKU’s Friends of Steely Library 2006-07 literary series.

Can't you imagine that thought (which isn't even "singular") pop, pop, popping into young Jessica's head, as she sits through a mind-numbingly dull reading?  Pop.  Pop.  Pop!
