They missed Elbow, Saskatchewan. Moose Jaw is pretty weird too!
Everyone probably has a few complaints about their hometown. I know I do. Some are small, some are big. Some are rural and some are urban. … and then some have such insane names, you’d think a two year-old founded them. When I saw these 25 town names, I thought someone was playing a joke. But, oh no. These are real.
1.) There is where the horse with no name grew up.

2.) GASP! I knew the North Pole was a lie.

3.) I was meant to live in this town.

6.) Slow down, take time to look at all of the ugly.

I don’t know about you, but I’m thinking of visiting Cheesequake. Life would have to be awesome in a town name like Cheesequake (seeing that it was named after an incredible dessert (http://www.grubgrade.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Strawberry-Cheesequake-Blizzard.jpg)).

I don't feel sorry for #8's residents, they likely have a much shorter name they use for very day, and are proud when, as children they learn to say and spell the whole think correctly!
I know as kids we felt accomplished when we learned to say and spell Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg - but when going there, we'd just call it Webster Lake.
I always like Moosup - a town in eastern Connecticut, as I picture a moose lying on its back, legs up!

LMAO :D Thanks for posting, Candace. I needed a chuckle on this gloomy, chilly day, since I'm feeling gloomy and chilly too. I need Spring and sunshine in my life - I'm sick of the Winter that doesn't want to end. Enough is enough, already ! Possible snow on Tuesday :( - say it isn't so..... :eek:
How about:?
Sweet Lips, TN
Oddville, KY (I know some people that should live there)

One of this year's American Idol contestants is from Slapout, Alabama!
And when you don't know a "kill" is a waterfall, Fishkill, NY is an odder name!

They missed Sandwich, Illinois (DeKalb County, population 7500). And Normal - named for the Illinois Normal School (for teacher training) that was located there- it's now Illinois State University.

I always liked Flin Flon, a town in Canada (Manitoba?) which always seems to show up on the arctic blast weather maps.

It's funny, I forget others might consider Sandwich as a funny name, I think of the one here in terms of Sandwich glass, instead of the food!

I never did understand how this town got this name, since it is in the heart of the very religious and straight-laced Amish country. I wonder if they are embarrassed to speak it out loud?
In my travels back and forth to NC, I noticed a lot of strange names on the Interstate exit signs. One that I always laughed at was Dinwiddie, VA. It always made me think of dimwit.

There's also a small town around there called Catskill. I've been there with one of my cousins many times, very nice little town.
