A town named WHAT?
A recent post on Boing Boing rounded up some funny city names from around the world, including places like Feces (in Spain), Puke (in Albania), and one previously mentioned unmentionable on Gadling a few years back. This got me wondering: how many odd city names can we track down? Boing Boing got us started, but I imagine that collectively, we can come up with quite a bit more.I'll start things off with the laughably juvenile Weiner, Arkansas, where I camped just a few miles outside of last summer, and the thrifty town of Tightwad in my home state of Missouri. Now it's up to you, dear readers, to share in the comments some of the strange town names you've run across in your travels.

Spread Eagle, Wisconsin. I always laugh when I see the sign.
