OK, so Frank started this off.... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> OK, OK I did <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

You can check the Land-rover thread for interesting place names in GA. The best one I've heard so far on this side of the pond is Mianus in CT <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> I seem to remember some TV show (like Jack <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" /> ) where they went to Mianus with a telescope and said 'I want to see Uranus from Mianus' <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> ROFL (I might grow up...one day <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> )

To even things up, here are some funny British place names. I used to do a bike race that started in Wormegay (Worma-gee) and another starting in Six Mile Bottom <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Come on, let's hear'em <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

I know some folks from Slapout AL. There's Between, GA. That's all I can think of at the moment.

Lickskillet, AL

Buzzard Roost, Alabam.

Zip City, Al (zip, and you're all the way thru town)

Soddy Daisy TN

Kansas and Texas, AL, about 2mi apart..

Arab, AL, pronounced Ay-rab

Bendo, CO (used to be in the bend of the river)

Red Bay, AL (landlocked - musta been a horse)

GA is weird. None of the towns with the same name as a county name is in the county with the same name.

I stayed in Beaver Creek Colorado once near Vail. Home of Beaver Clippers Haircare, Beaver Liquors , and Beaver Divers underwater supply <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I drove across Missouri recently, lots of fun ones

Humansville
Halfway
Fair Play
Sparta
Cape Fair
Rescue
Pumkin Center
Chalk Level
Quick City
Frankenstein


The state parks are even better

Lead Mine State Forest ( explains other names )
Ha HA Tonka State Park
Knob Noster State Park ( I was afraid to ask )
Monkey Mountain

I miss seeing balls being thrown around Beaver Stadium in Happy Valley. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Big bone lick state park is my favorite

Morehead KY is nice

Sugartit KY is a nice place to live

Did a triathalon that went through Hell, MI years ago. Sugartit wins.

That's true for the most part, Eddy. But, there are a couple exceptions.

For instance:
Carrollton, Douglasville, Licolnton, Warrenton and Elberton.

Those are the only ones we can think of here at the NAPA store on a slow<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" /> Friday afternoon, without looking at a map...


EDIT: Forgot about Talbotton (sp?), Fayetteville, Dawsonville, Greensboro. We cheated and got out the map... Damn we're bored...
