Oh yeah, from Weird Al’s “Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota”: Oh, we couldn’t wait to get there So we drove straight through for three whole days and nights Of course, we stopped for more pickled weiners now and then The scenery was just so pretty, boy I wish the kids could’ve seen it But you can’t see out of the side of the car Because the windows are completely covered With the decals of all the place where we’ve already been There’s Elvis-O-Rama, the Tupperware Museum, The Boll Weevil Monument, and Cranberry World, The Shuffleboard Hall Of Fame, Poodle Dog Rock, And The Mecca of Albino Squirrels We’ve been to ghost towns, theme parks, wax museums, And a place where you can drive through the middle of a tree We’ve seen alligator farms and tarantula ranches, But there’s still one thing we gotta see ---

> [@ThePylon](#): > > Impressed so many (well, at least 3) have been to Mattawa… why?! “Going to North Bay” is all I can come up with … 😉 I still wonder if he was referring to Mattawa, Washington, or Mattawa, Ontario. Ellensburg, WA is the only Ellensburg that comes up on Wikipedia, so I assume that’s the one he meant (Ellensburg also has a big annual rodeo). Spirit Lake … there are two towns by that name, in Idaho and Iowa; 5 actual lakes by that name, in Iowa, South Dakota, Washington, Utah, and Yukon Territories, Canada. Hmm. And a crapload of [Bangors](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangor), all over the world. ---
