HILARIOUS HOMETOWNS FOR HERBIVORES
Herbivores, better known as veggie-lovers, are a rare species in North America.They will however probably find the "welcome" mat open for them in the following places:
-- Burnt Corn (Alabama)
-- Avocado, Cactus, Cabbage Patch, Peanut, Weed, Weedpatch (California)
-- Beanblossom (Indiana)
-- Admire, Gas (Kansas)
-- Belcher, Waterproof (Louisiana)
-- Belchertown, Mashpee (Massachusetts)
-- Olive Branch (Michigan)
-- Olive Branch (Mississippi)
-- Sweetgrass (Montana)
-- Weed Heights (Nevada)
-- Pumpkin Center (Oklahoma)
-- Green Grass, Potato Creek (South Dakota)
-- Cucumber (West Virginia)
And north of the 49th parallel, those Vitamin-C voyageurs can trot off to:
Carrot Creek, Community Punch Bowl, Grassland, Grassy Lake (Alberta)
Parsnip River (British Columbia)
Cape Onion(Newfoundland)
Mushaboom (Nova Scotia)
Onion Lake (Saskatchewan)
As Munroe Scott, author of Oh, Vulgar Wind - A Sympathetic Overview of the Common Fart, offers a clue as to why there may be such a scant supply of say cucumber consumers:
"Being flatulent is a price we all pay for being part of the animal kingdom. Some people pay a heavier price than others.
As vegetarian and high fibre diets become popular, flatulence increases, requiring society and individuals to make adjustments that are dietary, linguistic, psychological and even cultural."
Life Lesson 42: Beware of 'sliders' at family get-togethers, 'freeps' in elevators, and 'vagrant volatiles' at cocktail parties!

-- Bar Haven, Bareneed, Billy Butts Pond, , Cupids, Dildo, Hearts Content, Hearts Delight, Heart's Desire, Jerrys Nose, Leading Tickles, Nippers Harbour, Tickle Cove, Virgin Arm, and Wild Bight.
In Nova Scotia, they seem to have a lot of foolish folk with some odiferous challenges:

Quebec is home to "Le Bonhomme" (King of the Winter Carnival), so it's not surprising to see a few hee-hees here including:
-- Funny Lake, St. Louis-du-Ha!Ha!, not to mention a peculiar place called Shitagoo Lake.
PLACES TO VISIT IN "THE YEAR OF THE PIG"
To some folks, the pig is a very lucky animal.According to Chinese astrologers, 2007 is better known as "Year of the Pig".
So, if you're heading out for a holiday over the next 12 months, be sure to drop by the playful pigpens mentioned below.
Let's see there's Pig (Kentucky), Pigo (Guam), Pigtown (Ohio), Pigs Ear (Pennsylvania), Pigeye, (Alabama and Ohio), and for those who can't spell, there's always Piggtown, Mississippi.
While we're on the subject of "hogs", how about Hogpen Crossing (Texas) or Hogtown (Indiana and New York).
Or if those spots don't tickle your fancy, there's always: Black Hog Landing (Deleware), Hogback (Kansas), Hog Eye (West Virginia) or its variant Hogeye (in Arkansas, Arizona and Texas), Hogeye Crossroads (South Carolina), Hog Island (in Maryland and North Carolina), or Hogjaw (in either Alabama or Arkansas), Hog Mountain (Georgia), Hog Valley, (Florida), or Hogshooter (Oklahoma).
PLACES TO VISIT IN THE "YEAR OF THE RAT" - 2008
2008 is the "Year of the Rat" in the Chinese zodiac calendar.A most auspicious one for those who are ambitious, hard-working, fastidious, sociable and charming but who are a tad tight with their wealth and possessions. All the more reason to suggest that "Rats" open their wallet and pay a visit to these "hot spots" in 2008, to commemorate the year of their birth.
Rats must love Ohio because there are more than a few rodent placenames there including: Rat, Ratsville, and Rat Row.
Hollywood is the home of the famous "Rat Pack" comprised of Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, and Frank Sinatra. So, it's not surprising that rodents really adore California given the plethora of placenames dedicated to them including: Rat Farm, Ratto Landing and Rat Trap Gap Trailhead.
However just in case none of these placenames turn your crank, how about the following ludicrous landmarks:
-- Big Rat Lake, Alaska
-- Cactus Rat Mine, Utah
-- Mt. Rat, Connecticut
-- Little Rat Creek, Wyoming
-- Rat Butte, Oregon
-- Rat Bayou, Louisianna
-- Rat Pond, Florida
-- Rat Island, South Carolina
-- Rats Nest Gulch, Idaho
-- Rat Run, Illinois
-- Tarred Rat Creek, Virginia
-- Ratsville, Ohio
-- Rat Farm, California
