Does anyone have any funny locations nearby?

[Cobra]

I was just thinking about this. We've got a couple of dodgy places in Bath. These are unaltered images:



Jane Austin lived on Gay Street. Interesting.... not.



Errrrrr..... What were they thinking?

I've also been to London and spotted a shop selling leather and sheepskin stuff, called "Batty Fashions". Right.....

Let's see if anyone can beat these. On review, it isn't going to be hard!

[teegee420]

There's a combination soul food/mexican restaurant called "Nacho Mama".

Bad joke, sorry. Flame away.

[glockjs]

i'll tell you somethin. it's beyond scary when you walk into a place and everybody stops at the same time and looks at you. ok i live in a big city and its happend a few times. i was scurred.

I have to take a pic of it, but there is a health spa down the street from me and the slogan goes (IN ENGLISH) "Hello Health, Good-Bye Wealth"

I also had a vending machine near my office with the sign above saying
"Stop and reflesh yourself."

Living in Japan I see so many funny things...check out

www.engrish.com for more funny stuff. I think someone else on here has mentioned it before.

[glockjs]

yeah just check out japander.com well known actors doing commercials in japan

[reboot]

There's a town called Spuzzum B.C., which, if you're heading north, is just beyond Hope.

[glockjs]

haha, this one makes me laugh. there's a town in eastern oregon called two brothers oregon....well, two brothers live there.

one other. on your way to rocky point mexico from phoenix az. there's a town about 40 min from the border call "why". and thats exactly what your thinking too. a 65 mph highway turns in a 2 mile stretch of 25 mph. no other rinky dinky town does this on the way. just why, exactly what im thinkin when i have to slam on my brakes for this peice of town. why???

[Doramius]

I wish I could find the pic. There was a billboard that said, "Pork. The one you love." and there was a church that had it's sign read, "The most powerful position is on your knees." I live in Vegas too. Just past the California Line there's an uninhabited town/area and a road called Zzyzx. I think I got the spelling right.

[shoozleboy]

down the road a bit from me are towns that are named:

Bird-in-Hand
Intercourse
Blue Ball
Paradise

....there was a little limrick that was made up years ago using the towns names... I can't recall how it went - but I'll bet a few of you can figure it out!

Just in case anyone's curious - these are actual towns in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. (Amish country - as the tourists call it)

I drive from northern Cal to Vegas on occasion, and I've seen the sign for that road!

[Capmaster]

About 200 miles from here, in the panhandle of Oklahoma, there's a little town called "Felt". It's one building - a combination cafe/gas station/general store, and the home of the dirtiest, skankiest rest room I've ever seen.

A hundred miles or so east of Felt there's another town in Oklahoma named "Slapout", and another named "Hooker".

[glockjs]

yeah that zzyzzxzzyzed road, only prob is nobody knows how to pronounce it

[Doramius]

There's a pronounciation key in some road maps. I think there is one in the big $50 AAA road map. (Zsiz-ik) I think they just named the road to prove that a 5 letter word can be made up of only the last 3 letters in the alphabet. Honestly, is that road really named after anything or anyone? I'm going to name a town or road '?' or make up some symbol instead of using a word and see if people try and fit a pronouciation or name to it. It'll be just like Prince when he was formerly known as Prince.

Or Prince when he was known as the symbol formerly known as Prince.

Not too much around here, I live in the styx too. We do have a town that I lived in called Rough and Ready. Back during the Civil War, they actually seceded from the Union, but rejoined when they realized they could not have a post office or celebrate the 4th of July.

Also a town going toward Reno called Farad. Since my old days as an electronic tech, this makes me chuckled for some reason. Nerd humor I guess.

[Doramius]

I actually think FARAD was called that during the days of nuclear testing. It is kind of funny if you understand electronics and radiation.

We had ours too. Two formulas we'd see scratched into the lab benches were:

PHA-Q

and (B4/I 4Q (RU18)QTPi)

Pretty lame .....

[Doramius]

We had those in my high school lab tables too. brings back memories

I must be getting slow in my old age. I actually had to read those twice to figure them out!
