You are most correct, and fr that, so far, you get the gold star. Can anyone beat that, or are we all in awe at the size of this waterfall’s clitoris? ---

Forget the clitoris. People have known for hundreds of years of a place in the United States called, [The Grand Teton Mountains](http://www.grand.teton.national-park.com/). “Grand Teton” in French means, “Large breast”. ---

I, for one, was very disappointed the first time I saw the Grand Tetons – angular, craggy, uninviting.

[Bear Claw Chris Lapp] I never could find no tracks on a woman’s heart. I packed me a squaw for ten year, Pilgrim. Cheyenne, she were, and the meanest bitch that ever balled for beads. I lodge-poled her at Deadwood Creek, and traded her for a Hawken gun. But don’t get me wrong; I loves the womens, I surely do. But I swear, a woman’s breast is the hardest rock that the Almighty ever made on this earth, and I can find no sign on it. [/Bear Claw Chris Lapp] ---

I’ve always thought the [Bubble Mountains](http://www.acadiamagic.com/bubble_mtns_01.html) in Acadia National Park would make a nice set. 🙂 When we visited ANP last summer, one of my teens immediately observed, “Bubbles my ass!” For the rest of the day it was endless variations on, “Nice set of Bubbles you got there,” “Anyone up for hiking the Boobs?,” etc. ad infinitum. For some reason or another, my wife seemed to tire of such witty repartee quicker than my teenage son and myself… Curious. ---

Interesting Take on the naming of the Grand Tetons: > [@](#): > > Legend has it that the Tetons first got their name from French fur trappers/explorers in the early 19th century who referred to the Grand, Middle, and South, as viewed from Pierres Hole (today’s Driggs, Idaho), as Les Trois Tetons. In actuality, historical evidence shows that the name migrated from Big Southern Butte and it’s two neighbors in nearby Idaho which actually resemble breasts, though the name has also migrated to peaks in Montana and Colorado as well. The Tetons were originally known as Pilot Knobs to the mountain men and apparently as Tee Win At (“pinnacles”) to the local tribes (possibly the Gros Ventre or Nez Perce, the word doesn’t seem to be Shoshone).
