Sp3nc3r Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Well, for starters, here's The Town Of Dildo, NL. which is about an hour's drive from St. John's. Then there's Witless Bay (sorry, no link) on the Southern Shore of the Avalon. And believe it or not, there's also a Hare Bay (not as funny typed out, but thrown into casual conversation, and watch the eyes widen ) My parents (and GF) are from an Island community on the Southwest coast of NL called "Ramea" (pronounced RAM-e-ya) which is derived from the French term "les rameaux" which means 'cluster of islands'. Again, typed doesn't do it as much justice as when you say it faster in conversation.... Cheers! Spencer "I prefer to beat my opponents the old-fashioned way....BRUTALLY!!!!"

Yup, that was the great "Zap in". Zip to Zap was the slogan. ND's own Woodstock. Supposed to be a great outdoor rock concert. It got big enough to scare the local law enforcement people who tried to shut it down. They caused the riot themselves. They could've handled that differently. The "Zap in" tried for a repeat, but local law enforment agencies got so involved that it just fizzled. bbach Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.

Dennyf Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I grew up in the country on Dogtown Road. Everybody just called it that, don't know the origin. It got official just a few years back when the emergency folks needed hard addresses for finding people in the countryside. Some smart young fellers snapped that up as a band name. band link: bluepearlband.com music, lessons, gig schedules at dennyf.com STURGEON'S LAW --98% of everything is bullshit.

Zweite Version Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 There's a small village in Austria called 'Fu--ing". In German that word doesn't mean anything, but in English, well, you know... If I'm not mistaken, tourists love to go there just to take a picture of the sign.

The Soundsmith Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 There are three towns in succession along a Texas highway, Alice, Comfort and Louise. There used to be (and may still be) a motel in Comfort that advertised, "Why not sleep in Comfort between Alice and Louise?"

Gator Wing Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 If you don't make it to Intercourse, PA, you wind up in Blue Ball, PA (just to the northeast). Of course, Intercourse is right next to Paradise, PA. There are two theories about arguing with a woman. Neither one works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
