    More in keeping with the article theme is the name of the BMW dealership round the corner...

    @Lo! Loveseats, friend of Xrays: I live near a little tourist trap called "Canal Place". It's been around for like 5 years, but I'm still waiting for someone to black out the 'C'.


    There was also a restaurant called "Uncle Tucker's"; sadly its sign also survived unmolested for 10+ years before it went out of business.


    Damn lazy vandals these days.. They wouldn't know a good opportunity if it bit 'em in the ass!

    I did a lot of construction/environmental work in a large central Florida residential development known as Poinciana where the planners apparently had to really reach for street names. The bird, city, and place-named streets aren't so bad but the golf-themed streets have names like Putt Lane, Cart Court, Bogie Way, Divot Lane, and Duffer Lane. The animal names were fun too: Wombat Way, Yak Court, Muskrat Drive, Hamster Court, and Kangaroo Lane (sadly they resisted Kangaroo Court). Maybe they should try body parts in future expansions: Butt Way, Gallbladder Avenue, Spleen Circle, Uvula Drive, Lung Lane, and Colon Court.

    @tonyola: I'd suggest street names made famous through music. Shakedown Street, Abbey Road, Penny Lane, Blue Jay Way (god, the Beatles were good at this), Rocky Mountain Way, Thunder Road, Telegraph Road... maybe 110th Street because Bobby Womack is awesome.


    Here's a few more if my ideas ain't enough.

    Mr. Hardigree, may I say a big "thank you" for using the pic viewer? I didn't know you cared...


    On a side note, I have a great pic somewhere of the "now entering" sign from a town in central France called "Les Gays".


    Yes, you are now entering Les Gays.

    George was a mild-mannered, quiet guy. As a devout Anglican, he was relatively benign and passive. Until one day.


    You see, George's one vice was going to the pub and enjoying a few too many pints of Smithwicks while watching rugby. One night, while sitting in a small pub on Butt Hole Road, a real Cock from up the Hill came in. The guy walked right up to George and started swearing at him and saying nasty things about George's mother. George cracked when the guy said his mother was a real Dumb Woman and he wanted to screw her in her Slutshole to relieve his Blueballs. George, already on edge because of the Economy, told the guy he didn't have a chance because his mother was more of a Titman after the surgery. One thing led to another and George set the guy on fire and watched the Cockburn. When the bartender started yelling, George whipped out his Penis and went Peepee on the guy to put the fire out.


    The bartender asked for George's name so he could report him to the police. George gave him No Name.
