They need to change the name

9/21/2011 8:46:36 PM

Ever seen a name that instantly sounds obscene but was unintended? I was looking at Florida State Parks and found a great one. It got me thinking of other names I've seen over the years. Here's a short list. Anyone else got some good ones?

Letchworth Love Mounds - a Florida state park near Tallahassee

bistable multivibrator - an electronics circuit

Dixie Darlings Escort Service - two girls that ran an oversized vehicle escort service

Giant Sized Man-Thing - an oversized issue of Marvel Comics swamp creature Man-Thing

There is also a Climax, Saskatchewan in Canada. I have been there and can report that nothing climactic happens in that place. My favourite name in Canada is Dildo, Newfoundland.

Dick St in San Diego. I'm sure other cities have one.

Climax, Michigan is only a short distance away from Colon, MI. My experience with a colonoscopy suggests these two towns should be much further apart but others may disagree.

There also is a Climax, NC. I visited there in college and was extremely disappointed.

There is Fucking, Austria. I go on Wikipedia a lot and hit the random article function and got it once, which was weird. Of course, they use the German pronunciation.

For drug related names there is a "Toke Street" in Timmins Ontario and a place called "Stoner" in central BC.

Here in Kentucky we have a Big Bone Lick state park. I've got to start telling the girls I am from there. "I'm from Big Bone Lick. Are you familiar with that area?"

'Cat: while you may want to stay away from Gay, Georgia there is certainly nothing wrong with visiting Cumming, Georgia!

I gave my friend a T-shirt with "I heart Intercourse, PA".

There's a Flippin Church of Christ in Flippin, Arkansas.

There's a hospital in Dallas named for a guy who's last name is Dedman. It's shortened to his initials, RHD Hospital.

I work for a pharmaceutical distributor in Omaha, and we sell to a small chain of pharmacies in SW Iowa and NW Missouri named Stoner Drug.

Oh yeah, I forgot, when I was younger, in the San Diego white pages there was a Jack Meoff, and a few girls with the last name of Greathead.
