Oh..."Crabapple Cove, ME." Home of Hawkeye Pierce and the delectable "Adam's Ribs!"

Actually the ribs are from Illinois, Chicago if I remember correctly. Where ever the Deerborne station is :wink:

Chicken, Alaska

I don't understand why rappers have to hunch over while they stomp around the stage hollering.  It hurts my back to watch them. On the other hand, I've been thinking that perhaps I should start a rap group here at the Old Folks' Home.  Most of us already walk like that.

One of my all-time favorite place names:

Gnaw Bone, Indiana

(its provenance has nothing to do with gnawing or bones, but is a corruption of the French "Norbonne")

Winesburg, Ohio (yes it's an actual town and not just a book by Sherwood Anderson)

Pão de Açúcar (or Sugarloaf Mountain), the mountain overlooking Rio de Janeiro which has that huge statue of Chirst on the cross.

My restaurant blog: Mahlzeit!

Does Noodles, Arizona -------a la Snoopy/Peanuts/Chas Shultz comic strip count?

It is a real town!! :biggrin:

Uhhhh,

Actually it's Needles.

That's where Snoopy's brother, Spike, lives. And since it was before the birth of Spike Lee, he has been unable to successfully sue the Schultz estate.

If someone writes a book about restaurants and nobody reads it, will it produce a 10 page thread?

I went to sleep away camp on Cherry Hill Road in Street, Maryland.
