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.

Hey! Don't leave Kentucky out of that game! Broke Leg Falls,
anyone?

No, I'm not putting Kentucky down. I was born there in the '50s and
my family would drive past Broke Leg Falls when we would vist relatives
who still lived in Kentucky.

www.555us.com Mississippi has some cool town names too.There used to
be a Texas City,Mississippi long ago,believe it or not.There is a
Houston,Mississippi and Philadelphia,Mississippi and Dublin,Mississippi
(yes,I know,there is a Dublin,Texas too and some other Dublin's in
U.S.A.) and Michigan City,Mississippi.Jackson used to be called Le
Fleures Bluff,but the name was changed in Honor of Stonewall
Jackson.(Praise God for that,got rid of that frog name,now we need to
work on French Camp,Mississippi)

I wonder if that's close to Bean Station, TN?

I'm not putting anyone or anywhere down, that's for
sure. I'm an Iowegian by birth, and Iowa has some
good 'uns, like What Cheer and Lost Nation.

Then there's Embarrass, WI (and MN), and plenty
others, if I think long and hard, I'll bet I can come up
with a list.

Good old Kentucky.Rabbit Hutch,Kentucky.I went to Armor School at Fort
Knox,Kentucky in November and December of 1963.Fort Knox is about thirty
five something miles South (South is always best) of Louisville.I used
to catch a bus to Elizabeth,Kentucky and Louisville,Kentucky and flirt
with the wimmins around there.Radcliff,Kentucky too.

I think those types of town names show that the people had a good
sense of humor when naming a town, even in hard times. There is an old,
small community in Ohio called Blue Ball. The signpost is a large blue
ball erected in 1823 for people who couldn't read. The community that
grew up around it took on the name Blue Ball.

Quote: Thomas VAIL built a log-house at what is now the Blue Ball, in
1821, and kept entertainment. He sold to Jonathan EMMONS in 1823, who
erected a sign in front of his house, which was simply a round ball
painted blue. The place derived its name from this circumstance. The
blue ball has been conspicuously displayed continuously ever since.

from: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohbutler/cyc/623.htm



When you drive north out of Middletown Ohio on I-75 one of the
overpasses has a sign "Germantown Road" There is a similar overpass on
I-75 near gainsville Florida with the same name on the same kind of
sign. Kind of makes you homesick, sometimes.

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

that's what they called me, at least....

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!

It would be easier to deport a couple idiots than rename all those
cities.

When I used to live up North,I never could get used to walking on those

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

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