Sara Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 [color=#6699cc]One of my favorite placenames around here is [b]Oconomowoc[/b].

Jeebs Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 [quote name='Panda']There are a couple of places that come to mind when thinking of funny town names. One is a small town in California that my hubby and I drive through on our yearly trek to Anime Expo. It's called Weed. We usually stop there to get gas for the car and they always have these shirts and things that say: "Get High in Weed". I have a magnet from there and bought a shot glass for my friend for her collection.[/quote] That's probably the same Weed that's mentioned in [u]Of Mice and Men[/u]. My English class laughed when they read the line that said that they "ran out of Weed". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work for a science supply company, so I get to see a lot of diifferent places. Today I shipped stuff off to somewhere named Research Triangle in North Carolina. I kid you not.
