I would like to start my own list of city names in the US and yeah those are actual cities in the US.
1- Truth or Consequence, New Mexico
2- Cut and shoot, Texas
3- Licking, Missouri
Anyone feels like adding to this list please feel free to do so :)

There was recent news story out of Columbia, Maryland, US, that the people who lived on what had originally been named "Satinwood" drive had been the victims of a typographic error at the County offices, so that the name became "Satanwood." It is now being corrected, after 25 years.....

In January I spent a week in New Orleans gutting houses. Here's a pic of the last one I worked on:

AP's Los Angeles office made the error of placing Farfrompoopen Road in Tennessee rather than in Arkansas in reporting the story. Now if you Google Farfrompoopen Road, there about about 80,000 entries. I did not look at all of them, but a lot of them that I saw perpetuated the error.
If you look at Mitsubishi's Web site, you will see that Farfrompoopen Road, which came in third, is in Story, Ark. On second thought, it's too bad it did not come in No. 2.
A lake neat Webster, Wis., is Boner Lake (pronounced Bonner). The road sign kept getting stolen. Now the new sign says: Bonner Lake Road.
