> [@Ponder Stibbons](#): > > If someone actually named a city that in New Jersey, would anyone notice? 😃 What do you think we call Newark? 🙂 But now I’m thinking maybe we should start a petition to rename Ho-Ho-Kus. I think Ha!-Ha!-Kus has a much better ring. ---

I _really_ respect the lack of punny headlines there. And the fact that it’s written in typical, bland BBC style. That takes some serious journalistic talent. Reasons to be thankful for Canada, number eight-thousand and twelve\*: It’s now been clarified that the bottom of a lake is not a licensed and fully-hygienic location. Good to know. ---

It’s like [Big Bone Lick State Park](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bone_Lick%2C_Kentucky), although I was originally told that the name came from an incident involving Daniel Boone and cannibals. I liked that story better. ---

\*Canada… Come for the geese. Stay for the deepwater cheese fermented in a lake fed by caribou piss colored runoff from a swamp.\* ---
