I don't want to derail Aimee's storm warning thread any further and i just had to post these photos.

Edit: Hmm. This would maybe have been more appropriate in the ZOMGWTFBBQGTFOLOLCATS forum?

Oh, goody, another reason to post graphics!

This note is from 1910 but the town's been fucking around a lot longer.

And the town of fucking has been around for a long time.

In WoW the Blasted Lands, Searing Gourge and Dead Wind Pass are just above Booty Bay... over a little further is The Wetlands...

Stop cheating, Psyke. They have to be real places, like that moon base.

You and Khamon both get bonus points for knowing about that television show.

Funny how, as bad as Space:1999 was, it makes the current batch of "scifi" tv serials (run in the USA) look like first-year art school projects. No, wait, makes them look like bad YouTube postings.

Terrible plots, so-so acting, mediocre special effects ... but top notch model work.

But hey, it's a Gerry Anderson pronduction where even mediocre and campy becomes a guity pleasure. I loved the show.

Pinewood Studio's fingerprints all over it, right?

If they had edited in scenes from Captain Scarlet I'd probably have accepted it without any argument. Don't feel bad, I came out of the bad scifi closet long ago---a man's got to live like...a spaceman!

It still runs on British TV , along with UFO .. tucked away on one of our digital channels

EDIT: but back on track ...

Locally we have the Dickers ... Upper Dicker and Lower Dicker , and The Devils Dyke , just a bit further north there is Pratts Bottom as well

Walker · 11-09-2007, 03:23 AM

Everybody knows about the French town of Condom don't they?

It lies on the river Baise, and the word baise just happens to be a French euphemism for fucking. Or should that be baiser? Either my French is faulty or I'm making this up as I go along.

Apparently, that UK tidal wave did not affect our Tyche. I shall give up eating Yorkie candy bars in her honor.

On nightshifts I used to sneak off and watch it at about 5am in the morning... mmmm sci fi!

Sci Fi is like pizza and something else, I forget, even when it is bad it is good*

Come to think of it, I attended a meeting in Prattville, Alabama last evening.

Bird-in-Hand, Blue Ball, Intercourse, and Virginville are all within an hour's drive on one another.

If you hit this sign you will hit that bridge!"

We could do with one of those signs around these parts. There's a really low bridge that a double decker bus inevitably attempts to go under every five years or so.

Quite a few towns in Britain had streets in what we would now call the 'Red Light District' which were officially called 'Grope Cunt Lane'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gropecunt_Lane

One of these is the earliest use of this most contentious word - 1230
