Amusing town names

Jun 21, 2005 21:05

This country has some great town names.

Some of them stand on their own. I'd love to live in Pie Town, New Mexico or Bacon, Indiana, but I'd avoid Prison Farm, Montana. Remind me never to set foot in White Settlement, Texas or Dead Woman Crossing, Wyoming.

Liberal, Kansas may seem like an oxymoron, but no more of a contradiction than Virgin and ( Read more... )

You missed my personal favorite. Maybe sometime I can dig out a picture featuring me and my highschool friend in the middle of intercourse.

(Intercourse, PA)

It's a quaint little almish town that boasts a "Museum of Pointed Weapons" in the center. Unfortunately the museum is not open on sundays, and I did not get to see exactly what was inside. :-(

Click on the link, fool! I listed the Intercourse in Pennsylvania AND Alabama.

Ahahaha! "The Museum of Pointed Weapons". That is BRILLIANT.

Jolly good!

hehe, don't forget Nowata, Oklahoma. There's also a Beaver, Oklahoma *snicker*

There are a few more interesting place names in Texas.

The Colony. The Woodlands. Both have the article "The" as part of their names. They sound scary.

Cut and Shoot, TX.

Gun Barrel City, TX.

Athens, TX. Happy, TX. Paris, TX. Palestine, TX. Memphis, TX. Venus, TX.

Don't forget:

Boston, Texas
Old Boston, Texas
New Boston, Texas

I considered some of the other ones, but they didn't make the cut. Cut-n-Shoot would have been lumped together with Rough and Ready, California and Rifle, Colorado.

How could you miss Earth, TX or Muleshoe, TX?

venaja June 26 2005, 04:31:23 UTC

I didn't miss them. They just weren't good enough. ;)

It's too bad Utopia has to be in Florida. I might consider living there just for the name. Oh well, there's always Satan's Kingdom...

AAHAAHHAAH, your icon.

Don't forget:
