Ten Things: Crazy Street Names
I was doing research for my day job when I came across Crazy Street names.
Honestly, folks. It’s moments like this that make made coming to work kinda fun.
(I wrote that yesterday. Today I was let go! OMG. It’s kind of a shock since in my review two weeks ago my boss said he ‘loved what I was doing, was really impressed with my level of knowledge’, etc., etc. Huh. But the man was never really happy with anything or anyone. Today he said the marketing wasn’t working. Really? Which part – the increased numbers or hordes of new clients? So many in fact, they couldn’t handle them all. Probably not much I could have done to please him. I’m happy to be among the newly FUNemployed.)
Not too far from where I are (it rhymes, just go with it), there’s a street named Avenida de las Pulgas.
For those of you who don’t speak Spanish, it means Avenue of the FLEAS.
Yes, fleas. Like what’s on the dog or the cat.
Freakstreets had many more. Streets, not fleas. Well, actually I don’t know about the fleas. They may have some.
For Ten Things Tuesday, I’ve picked out 10 of the best:
1. Ragged Ass Road, Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada
2. Tapeworm Road, Bloomfield, Pennsylvania, US
3. Kitchen Dick Road, Sequim, Washington, US
4. Tater Peeler Road, Lebanon, Tennessee, US
5. Succabone Road, Mount Kisco, New York, US
6. Hell for Certain Road, Beattyville, Kentucky, US
7. Peepee Falls, Hilo, Hawaii, US
8. Blue Ball Road, Elkton, Maryland, US
9. Butt Hole Lane, Shepshed, Loughborough, Leicestershire, UK
And the grand finale…
10. Intersection (ahem) of 69th and Cuming Streets, Omaha, Nebraska, US
And I thought Nebraska was rather conservative.
Ok, now that you’re all sated on funky street names, while your still drunk on the love, please go and “like” my new Facebook page!
Sorry about the job, dude sounds like an ass. Does this mean we get more of you 😉
Now excuse me I have some packing to do. Moving to Nebraska! Can not refuse a mailing address like that!
Thank you sweetie! Yes, you may get more of me! I’m determined to live the life of a wealthy Lady of Leisure. Hopefully, that will include some fun travels!
69th and Cuming is my favorite of them all. Nebraska is giving away free land. No lie. http://realestate.yahoo.com/promo/7-towns-where-land-is-free.html
Also sorry about the job. Sounds like there was more going on behind the scenes than the Boss let on.
I know Canada has some pretty unusual town-names… stands to reason the streets would be strange too. I would love to live on Ragged Ass Road!
Thanks bluzdude 🙂 You’re not the only one who thinks there was more going on. He did just buy a building, and then a client refused to pay a significant amount of money (very unhappy with the service/result). I overheard him talking about losing $50K on something else.
I’ve never been to Canada. Maybe I should go there for my next trip!
Sorry to hear about the job loss but it sounds like you are taking it in a stride. I’m 2 months deep in government cheese and starting to love it. Welcome to the club
Thank you. Yes, I am quite enjoying it. It wasn’t until I got home last night around 10pm, that I realized I wouldn’t have to wake up early anymore!
Problem is, I forgot to tell the cat.
Mmm, government cheese. I’m thinking I should apply for food stamps. That’s how you get the cheese, right?
P.s. I lived on Beaver Avenue for 2 years
I love it! I’ve lived in a lot of places (we moved a lot when I was a kid, probably running from the Po-Po or something), but we never lived on a funky-named street. I’ve got my eye out now!
I was once a Domestic Goddess but Lady of Leisure beats that hands down!
Domestic Goddess sounds good, too! Especially if it gets a hands on beating from a Lady of Leisure. Can I vote for OTK spanking?
I love that a Canadian road made it on your list!! Us Canucks like to have a little fun!
I love it that I have a reader in Canada! Thanks for stopping by Darlin’! I’ve not yet been to Canada, but now that I’m a Lady of Leisure you all just may get a visit for the Bonkers Blond Blogger. 🙂
you were so made the scapegoat for your boss’s incompetency. he obvs lives on butthole lane and i say he can go succabone. come to philly!
LOL! You rock, girlfriend! Philly is another place I have yet to see – add that to the bucket list!
Mutha Fu€&@! Sorry to hear about the fact that some people have their head shoved so far up their Aaaa…
Dam girl glad ur getting away from that negative energy! Douche Lord doesn’t even realize the same $hit that brought him up can bring him down. Feel like F’n em up SEO style! K feel free to edit as needed. :/
LOL No worries about the extra cussing, you saved me from doing it 🙂 And I do appreciate the sentiment! He does need a good SEO f-ing, but I won’t do it… as long as he pays the hush money. 😉 Just waiting for the check now.
Old boss needs to go on down to Butt Hole Lane and bend over!
Yay! More Kernuttery! (I just made that up I think)
LOL! I agree Butt Hole Lane would serve him well! (Or rather, he would serve well.)
Yes, there will be more Kernuttery for my Kernutties!
What a total douche canoe! Maybe he should move to the Intersection of Bend Over and Stick It Lanes.
Of course, I would expect Kentucky to have a Hell for Certain Road. 🙂 You should head this way, we will steal the street sign then take pix with it. Awwww, yeah!
I spent the weekend on Dickman Road and totally forgot to get a picture of it!!
Awesome idea! I’m manifesting my motorhome in which to travel the country – and a Wicked visit to Kentucky is in the master plan!! 😉
