I think he was referring to the village of Slanteyed Chinkland,
Texas.

Texas is famous for its odd town names (f.e., Possum Trot).

I think.

Interesting.

In Scotland there are 2 villages by the names of Moscow and Windy
Yett. And there's a small island with lighthouse somewhere called
Muckle Flugga. Amongst other things....

The last time I was in North Minneapolis, I believe
a passerby called me a Muckle Flugga. I *think*
that's what they called me, at least....

If you actually had your car window down while driving through North
Minneapolis (or, worse yet, if you were *on foot*) then you're one brave
muckle flugga. :-)

In November of 1971,I bought my 1914 Ford T model car (which I still
own,by the way) from a guy in Sioux Falls,South Dakota by the name of
Gary Peterson.He and his wife were moving to Minneapolis and they
couldn't take the car with them.His wife was a gorgeous yummy looking
blonde,but I had my mind on the car.She met me at the Sioux Falls
Airport in her yellow Volkswagen car and I bought lunch for us at the
Airport and she dropped me off at their house and she went on back to
work.They let me sleep on their couch that night.I paid them $1,800,00
for my car.

$1.8 million is a lot for an old car. Was there a doggie on that couch?

When I used to live up North,I never could get used to walking on those
icey sidewalks and streets and my toes and fingers and nose and ears
always felt like Birdseye frozen peas.And my eyeglasses always fogged
over when I came in from the cold.

There is at least one town in U.S.A.by the name of Moscow,I don't
remember which U.S.State though.I do not believe any
Cities,Towns,Hamlets,Villages or anywhere in U.S.A.should have names
that are names of any Foreign places,Period!

Well, by your reasoning we could eliminate a few cities in my home state of
Florida, like Naples, Venice, Punta Gorda, Jupiter (is that foreign?), St.
Petersburg, Ybor City, Cairo (no, that's Georgia), Havana (no, that's
Georgia too), Rome (Georgia again, and New York), St. Augustine (sounds
foreign), Opa-Laka (what the heck is that!), Dunedin, Melbourne, Bagdad
(really!), Bethlehem, Lebanon, to name a few. And that's just Florida!
