> [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > 1. Aleutians West Census Area (AK) (I think it counts as a county-like area - Alaska doesn’t have anything called a “county”) I’m fine with this play, but for accuracy I’ll point out that Aleutians West is only two words not three. But let’s keep it, it’s okay with me. This was a tricky category and by my quick inspection of the wiki pages I only found 12 counties (or parishes or burroughs) to have 3 words: 1. Fairbanks North Star AK 2. Lake and Peninsula AK 3. San Luis Obispo CA 4. East Baton Rouge LA 5. St. John the Baptist LA 6. West Baton Rouge LA 7. Lac qui Parle MN 8. Lake of the Woods MN 9. Lewis and Clark MT 10. Isle of Wight VA 11. King and Queen VA 12. Fond du Lac WI To my mind, I wasn’t counting census areas in Alaska. But it’s fine if we do. Quebec has a few: Ile-de-Montréal QC Iles-de-la-Madeleine QC Lac-Saint-Jean-Est QC Lac-Saint-Jean-Ouest QC Rivière-du-Loup QC No other Canadian province or territory has any. Let’s keep on… **Stocking Stuffers** 1. Candy cane 2. Gift cards 3. gift certificates ---
