If you want to be a bit less clinical about it, hop over to Europe and visit Fucking, Austria.

Just don't get too rough and put it in her Butte by accident.

When you're done Fucking, head back to Climax, MI

and if you're not of the typical sexual orientation, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay,_Michigan]Michigan has the place for you[/url] (this time it's probably OK to put it in the Butte.

While you're doing all this, make sure to wrap it up, because an STD will leave you feeling like Crapo,

and if you're religious, make sure you're not fornicating, otherwise you might end up in Hell.


Of course you could skip out on all the debauchery, but that might be a bit Boring

If you are single and horny, you might just want to come up to Canada and visit Dildo, Newfoundland.

Man... I work for a directory assistance company (411) and I've heard of all the ones in the states. There are some really strange names of cities..

Rough and Ready, CA comes to mind immediately.

Truth or Consequences, NM also.

Weed, CA.

Climax, CO.

Mianus, CT, not to be confused with Hyannis, MA.
On a side note, there is nobody with the last name Johnson in Mianus. One time I got a call looking for one, and I almost said "There are no Johnsons in Mianus", but I caught on right before I let it slip out...

Frostproof, FL seems fitting...

... and so on.

I was just in Intercourse last summer, while visiting Lancaster PA. There's a wonderful pretzel factory there where you can roll your own, so to speak. And of course a myriad of quilting shops.

As I recall, just down the highway there's a town called Paradise. One could say that Intercourse is on the road to Paradise.

Also, there's theres the Wilbur choclate factory wich is nearby. It's in a town called Letitz. I believe it's pronounced le tits.

I think the Amish have a great sense of humour.

It's actually pronounced "let its" if you were to say it fast. I've got a few calls from there as well.

The town is LITITZ. Pronounced, Lit-its.

Growing up in the area, we used to have alittle saying about

intercourse, blue ball, virginville, and bird in hand, just cant remember what it was.

Now if you really want to know the culture and area, figure out what scrapple is and report back to me!

ya... isn't it like a savoury meat loaf thats sliced and fried for breakfast?

Lititz, you're right. My wife always hits me whenever I try to pronounce it incorrectly. Don't they have a Reading Railroad caboose in their downtown park?

I spoke to some quilting folk in Intercourse who said that they regularly hook up with Mennonites from near Toronto (St Jacob/Kitchener area) as an extended network of the Bretheren as they called it.

Close, but I have never heard scrapple defined as savory.

Took a tour while in Intercourse a few years ago and the Mennonite guide tried to explain that the town name came from a mis-spelling of a sign meant to point out the entrance of horse racing course. He didn't appreciate my loud yuck or when I asked if he could explain Blue Ball.

I was pretty sure that Leto was right about scrapple and checked Wikipedia:

Quote:
Scrapple is a savory mush of pork scraps and trimmings combined with cornmeal and flour, often buckwheat flour. The mush is formed into a loaf, and slices of the scrapple are then fried before serving. Scraps of meat left over from butchering, too small to be used or sold elsewhere, were made into scrapple to avoid waste. Scrapple is best known as a regional food of Delaware, New Jersey,Philadelphia, and Maryland.

Scrapple is typically made of hog offal, such as the head, heart, liver, and other scraps, which are boiled with any bones attached (often the entire head), to make a broth. Once cooked, bones and fat are discarded, the meat is reserved, and (dry) cornmeal is boiled in the broth to make a mush. The meat, finely minced, is returned, and seasonings, typically sage, thyme, savory, and others are added. The mush is cast into loaves and allowed to cool thoroughly until gelled. The proportions and seasoning are very much a matter of the region and the cook's taste.

Commercial scrapple often contains these traditional ingredients, with a distinctive flavor to each brand. A few manufacturers have introduced beef and turkey varieties and color the loaf to retain the traditional coloration derived from the original pork liver base.

Vegetarian scrapple, made from soy protein or wheat gluten, is offered in some places. It is seasoned to be much sweeter than typical meat scrapple.

Well, there are many different recipes. I am in the HEART of all of these villages. Each place makes theirs a little different. I know where I like to buy mine and where I DONT like to buy mine.

If interested, I will take all of the intercourse, blue ball, and paradise pics you want.

You're absolutely right. My girlfriend got a call from there shortly after I posted that, and even told me I needed to edit my post, or correct myself by adding another, so, late, but here is my retraction.

Just to add a couple and stay on topic:

Nine Times, SC

Ninety Six, SC

Double Trouble, NJ

City of Industry and City of Commerce, CA (I have no idea if they're close to each other or not)

Cookietown, OK

Twenty-Nine Palms, CA

According to Google maps, they are a mere 18 miles apart. The real question is whether they live up to their respective names.

well, now that we are leaving the land of quilters, so to speak, there is a town in Newfoundland called Dildo.

I was in charge of the printing of tax forms for a trust company, and saw a bunch of addresses being printed for Dildo NFLD. I immediately halted the run, thinking that some cutesy programmer had accidentally left a test name in the input file. But it was not the case, there really is a place called Dildo I think they've changed it a bit to be something like "Upper Dildo" but ther you go.

I wonder if these Newfies have ever visited Intercourse?
