What were the founders thinking?

My parents just bought a house. Two of the nearby towns are called Little Hell and Coocheyville.

Best of all?

The house itself is located in Onancock. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

(That’s all, really. I felt a pressing need to share my laughter and amazement with others.)

If it’s in downstate Illinois, I’m not surprised.

Nah, it’s actually on the Delmarva Peninsula (the peninsula on the right-hand side of Maryland, only it’s in the little bit of it that’s Virginia). Same basic principle, I’m guessing.

Yes, the names around there show that our forebears either had a bitchin’ sense of humor, or they were bull goose loony. My wife’s uncle took us on a tour of the Choptank River. I loved that guy. He’s dead now. :frowning:

Intercourse, PA. 'Nuff said…

And I raise with Dildo, Newfoundland.

Indiana has French Lick, Gnaw Bone, and Floyd’s Knobs. I have been to the first two.

TVGeek wants to know if your parents get their cable from Cox.

And the forecast for Onancock: widely scattered showers.

Best I can do is point out that, in Kansas, Athol is near Reamsville.

Right down the road from Blue Ball, Bird-in-Hand, and Virginville.
