    Being from Montana I am shocked that “Bloody Dick Peak” found near the “Big Hole” was not listed.

    What six-year-old British boy came up with this brilliant idea?

    What about Placentia Bay, Newfoundland, CA?

    How about Head Smashed In in Alberta, CA?

    Got your giggles yet?

    Sorry but this is beyond even the palest of the pale.

        And I have had at least one online gaming community continue to remove my town name from my profile, I assume as offensive.

    A 1986 N.Y. Times article on censorship in America reported this absurdity…
    “In Florence, S.C., the school board voted to remove the Merriam-Webster College Dictionary from school libraries in response to a parent’s objections to the definitions of certain words.”

    Now I can’t help but think that it was maps and geography books that pose the greatest threat. Maybe I’ll drive to Arizona for a swim in Wet Beaver Creek and give this some more thought.

    I have a friend that lives near Big Bone Lick State Park in Kentucky.

    Now let’s make jokes about the planet Uranus.

    For the last time, my name is pronounced as-whip-aye not ass -wipe!

    “Come along, John Big-bootie.”
    “That’s Big-Boo-TAY!”

    I used to live less than a day’s drive from Floyd’s Knobs; now I could reach French Lick in an afternoon.
