Lanikai,
I was speechless, and I’m not often speechless.

I have actually been to Weiner, Arkansas, many, many times. It is not very close to Fifty Six, Arkansas, but just as good a name.
Not too far from here is a town whose name always reminds me of my husband…Tightwad, Missouri.

I lived in Tillicum on American Lake. I also lived on Dead Man’s Pond in Puyallup. My boyfriend and I named our plant nursery after it. I posted a Der Spiegel article about a beer that was to be made in Fucking, Austria, called Fucking Hell a while back. “Under one of the signs for the town of f***ing is another sign that says, Bitte — nicht so schnell! or Please not so fast.” http://frozenjustice.blogspot.com/2010/03/german-humor-from-der-spiegel.html

Celia,
I’m not much of a beer drinker, but I’d like to taste “fucking Hell.”

Funny stuff! I like the Wales one; it looks like someone fell asleep on the keyboard. Here’s one of my favorites:

I can give you a couple more – Twatt in Orkney, Ugley (of Womens Institute fame), Shellow Bowells, Messing in Essex (where the Bush family are said to have originated) and Dull in Scotland has twinned with Boring in Oregon for transatlantic tedium.

Richard T,
My favorite is Ugley. Who does this?

Malia,
Thanks for a morning laugh.
As a native Hoosier, I used to tell a joke while pointing to a map of Indiana … South Bend isn’t in the south, North Vernon isn’t in the north and Fench Lick isn’t what it is supposed to be either.
Three cheers to French Lick native, Larry Bird.
Peace to all.

headset,
I didn’t know that about Larry Bird! Thanks!

Wow, there’s a real beauty in this list, Looneyville Texas. We need to move the nation’s capitol and all of the politicians to that town. With Mitt and Ann doing a Palin on us in London, we need to embrace our national mentality with an appropriate name and location. Out of respect for the town’s namesake, Mr. Looney we will not capitalize the name of the town. Then it will be taken in a literal sense.

I think Mittens and Ann would fit right in in Peculiar, Missouri.

Cracklin’ Charlie,
I heard they are willing to re-name the town “Mitt’s Peculliar Missouri” …but it’s unlikely Mitt will move because they don’t have homes with elevators in the garage.

More odd names in rural Virginia: Wabun, Ironto, Butt Station, Conjurers Neck, Gasville and Snickersville Turnpike, although I have yet to locate an actual Snickersville

Don’t forget about Boring, Oregon (though it is pretty easy to do so),

There’s a town in TX called Cut N Run. The only businesses there were the Post Office & the sleaziest, most ramshackle motel ever seen. I know, we spent the night there in it’s dirty cracked linoleum floor, sheets so thin a toe nail could cut through it and a bare bulb hanging down by it’s cord in the middle of the ceiling. Don’t even ask about the bathroom. Needless to say the town is in the middle of nowhere. Good thing I have an insane sense of humor, couldn’t stop laughing.

KatzKids,
Sounds pretty bad. The worst place I’ve stayed somebody (a man) left his underwear on the back hook on the bathroom door!
