    Weird names....

    So this weekend I had to work in Bristol (and ladies be reassured,there is nothing like a good set of Bristols to work with).
    I got to visit the Christmas Steps,There-and-Back-Again Lane,Made for Ever and of course couldn't resist the thrill of the Willy Wicket*

        My sister and I were once looking at a map of the Cornwall area, and laughed for ten minutes when we came across a town called Splatt.

            Pennsylvania has some good town names. Paradise, Blue Ball, and of course, the ever popular Intercourse....

            One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
            The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

I suddenly remember Delenn's line from Joe's script. Not a bad prospect. I am not afraid. In the meantime, let me close my eyes and sense the beauty around me.

                  I've been to the town of Dildo here in Newfoundland. It's near Conception Bay. And there's also Come by Chance which is near Goobies.

                          There is a town called Muff in Ireland. And they have a diving school.
