Along the same lines, the state flag of Corsica (an island off the coast of France) is a white backgroud with a black sillouette of a head. From what I gather, the man’s name was Moore. So, the Corsican flag is called the Moore Head.
There is also a Flushing, MI.
Let us not forget to read the whole OP.
Well, Regina, SK is always good for a giggle or two.
On the border between Washington state and British Columbia, Canada is the
Strait of Juan de Fuca
I heard years ago they had a new college out there, and rejected naming it after the Strait (and Ridge and tectonic plate, and a whole bunch else out there), came up with some other name for the school, thus depriving us of this conversation:
inquiring older person “Where do you go to college?”
student “Fuca U.”
older person leaves, muttering about the insolence of Youth.
I knwo Cumming, GA has already been mentioned…but it us deserving of a second reference. I mean come on!!
Also one good for a couple giggles…Butts County, GA
damnit…ok KNOW and IS (not “knwo” and “us”)
If only I wasn’t so lazy…
Fucking, Germany. No joke.
Up here in Kananaskis country, we have a lovely peak named Squaw’s Tit.
niiiice.
It does look kinda like a boob, actually…
Well, if you consider an hour-and-a-half to two hours away to be nearby, then perhaps. You also have to be liberal with your definition of “town”. Toad Suck Ferry Lock and Dam and Toad Suck Ferry State Park are on the Arkansas River a few miles outside Conway, Arkansas. They’re about all that’s left at Toad Suck – there is a store on the highway, but not much else. Still, it does show up as a town on most maps.
My girlfriend in college and I spent many an hour frustrating the hell out of each other in her car in the lock and dam parking lot on the east side of the river. It’s hell when you’re in dorms and can’t reliably get rid of the roommates for even an hour or so.
I seem to be making Toad Suck information my raison d’etre on this board; my very first post concerned the annual Toad Suck Daze festival, held in Conway, and I’ve had occasion to mention it a couple of times since then.
In the town of Beaver Creek, Colorado, the local purveyor of spirits is (what else) Beaver Liquors.
C’mon, admit it–you went around telling people you’d been to Hell and back again, or that you’d been through Hell (assuming you left by a different route from the one you entered on).
If I lived there, I would feel compelled to:
Install a handcart ride across the town line.
Pave a path across the town line with cobbles engraved with things like “I’ll write to my mother more often”, “I’ll do better in the future”, and “I’ll raise my children right”.
Hi, Opal! (Of course, I do that here…)
Potential game thread here: “If you lived in Hell, MI what would you do/say?”
Simetra, about all those obscene things that go along with “Red Stick”…I lived there for 4 years, and most of them happen regularly. It’s an interesting town. Fuqua Street (just off LSU campus) was never pronounced [fuh-qwa], as the old fogeys preferred. Trust LSU students to explore the carnal possibilities of a piece of assphalt. 
On Sydney Harbour: Ball’s Head
I think of more later
I think of more later (me caveman)
Maybe that should read: I’ll …
I thought that was in Austria.
I have several bottoms near me. Pratts Bottom, Locksbottom…my WAG is that they were once bottom fields (low lying) on farms owned by Mr Pratt and Mr Lock. Not sure if there’s a crack in my perspective…
Kids love it: “Where do you live old lady” ?
“Ohhhh, she said ‘bottom’”
Also, L_C, if you check your A-Z, you may notice the Queen’s Butt in the middle of Wimbledon Common.
[Beavis & Butthead]Huh huh huh… the Queen’s got Wombles up her butt…huhuhhuh…[/Beavis & Butthead]
There are loads of them here in England, but the first that comes to mind is Gropec*nt Lane in London. It’s been renamed now but it was originally named when the c-word wasn’t considered as rude as it is now. And yes, it was a haunt for the Laydees of the Night.
With “butt” not having the same meaning here as it does in the good ole USA, there’s loads of “Butts Mews”. The local mall is called “St Mary’s Butts” and just round the corner from where i live is a “White Butts Lane”.
Dildo, Newfoundland and Conception Bay, Nfld have already been mentioned.
So why was Come-by-Chance, Newfoundland ignored?
I spent many a happy hour leering at the girlie’s jogging on Wimbledon Common in my younger days ! Never was I aware the Queens Butt within sniffing distance – in the middle you say ? – probably somewhere near the end of the golf course, perhaps…
One of my favourites in London at the moment is Bleeding Heart Yard (just off Farringdon) – great name !
[hijack]I have a CD called “Musicians of Grope Lane” (thoughtfully abbreviated for the cover, you’ll notice) containing various colorful songs from the Southwark brothels of the 16th and 17th century. Amusing stuff.[/hijack]
There’s also Elmer’s End and Lickey End. I don’t know the origins of the latter, but I do know that most of the US town names containing “lick” referred to salt that was found there when it was settled (for the livestock).
