Did you folks know that I have a BS in Geography? I kid you not. I’ve always liked looking at maps and learning about places. Last night I was looking at the map of Texas (why fold laundry when there are maps to read?!) and I was struck with the interestingness of some Texan town names. I’ve included (and categorized) some for your perusal:
What were they thinking?
Telephone
Rural Shade
Weeping Mary
Nineveh
Looneyville
Twitty
Goober Hill
Fairy
Pancake
Yee-Haw:
Gun Barrel City
Gun Barrel City
Bug Tussle
Tin Top
Fort Spunky
Possum Kingdom
Huh?
North Zulch
Josserand
Blix
Ogg
Lazbuddie
Cee Vee
Fluvanna
Based on your latest posts, it would be fascintating to have a camera follow you around all day. I mean, you do care for 6 children between all this, right?
I don’t care what you say. I refuse to believe you that there is a Pancake, Texas. Impossible.
There is a street near my parent’s house called Harms Way. Who are the idiots in charge of naming things? My 3 year old would be so good at it. How does Army Guys, Texas sound? Or what about Lightening McQueen, TX? Better than Looneyville.
Tiffany, you’re forgetting naptime, no after-school activities, no driving to or from any schools and no baby.
You can only dream, right?
sounds like somebody had the mary-jane brownies for lunch…
Hilarious and or odd names. Rural Shade happens to be my favorite.
Gotta love Texas…definitely creative.
Oh my gosh, these are awesome. There are many reasons I like Texas. Creative city names is now on my list!
I would love to write Possum Kingdom on my letters. But I don’t think I’d want to be from Goober Hill. I bet the school teams in that town get teased by the school teams.
