Winona: The Forget-Me-Nots
I’ll tiptoe into those shark/snark-infested waters:
In aviation, the navigation radio beacons scattered around the country are generally named for the nearest city or town. Which led to this in-joke amongst US professional pilots:Q: What are the three great lies of Kansas?
A: Hill City, Garden City, and Liberal.Each of those being beacons named for towns on the major air routes across that flat, arid, and *very *Republican state.
Carry on.
In which spirit I propose the:
Hill City (KS) Pancakes
Garden City (KS) Xeriscapers
Liberal (KS) <NullReferenceExceptions>
Real one…the Poca (WV) Dots.
I’d suggest the Helen (GA) Blazers
Ambrose Bierce used “Helen Blazes” as a euphemism for “Hell and Blazes” in his “Devil’s Dictionary”, but maybe the phrase is too obscure these days. Still, “Blazers” doers sound like a real team name – more so that “Backs”
Speaking of which, we really need the:
Notre Dame (IN) Hunchbacks
Another real one is the UConn Huskies.
OK, that’s funny!

Farmington HS Penises
The Pequea Valley ¶ School District includes the town of Intercourse, Gap, Paradise, Blue Ball, & Bird-in-Hand; sooo many possibilities there.
There’s gotta be some good ones for Truth or Consequences, New Mexico.
The town is usually referred to as “T or C” locally. How about “the T or C Bajeebies”?
Or, if you say the whole thing, “the Truth or Consequences Shmonsequences”?
The London (KY) Broil
The Frankfort (KY) Ers
The Barcelona (NY) Rangers
Damn, that’s funny!
That aerial view looks like a sperm impregnating an egg to me!
And in a dose of real world idiocy I give you this news article:
Parents petition to change high school mascot's 'naughty' name – New York Daily News (WARNING: autoplay video of TV onscene reporter in addition to text article.)
It seems if you try hard enough to mispronounce the planned name of this soon-to-open high school, it sounds “naughty” to certain Mormon soccer moms. Oh Noes :eek::eek::eek:!!
