Oh, #Montana. Can't you think of better names?

Driving through Montana recently, I see towns, rivers and mountains named in a very simple way.

Bear Mouth Pass.

Beaver Tail County.

Elk Hoof Inn.

Rabbit Ear Ridge.

Pick an animal.  Then pick a body part.  Boom, simple name.

And the rest is history...
I know, I know... most of these are native american names, and hundreds of years old.  But it seems oddly simplistic.  So much so, it deserves a little mocking.

So.... the Animal + Body Part formula.  Let's think of some, shall we?

Wolf nipple?

Elk taint?

Buffalo nostril!

And of course, the ever-famous camel toe (and the less popular moose knuckle...)


What funny names can you think of?  And, bonus points, what funny names of towns or locations are in YOUR area?  Feel free to share below...

    Bunny's Brown Eye, Gator's Gooch, Coyote Sack, Coyote Sack's sister city Dingo Scrotum, Toad Smegma, Badger Vomit, and my home town of Prairie Dog Foreskin.
    Real names of places around me:
    Frognot, Dimebox, Hoop and Holler, Ding Dong (personal favorite because I have an infant's sense of humor), and the most racist city of all, Whiteface.
    This post was a lot of fun.

    Huh...my mind just got blown. There really isn't anything like that in Michigan..there is Carp Lake and Elk Rapids, but no body parts. Although, we are home to Climax and Hell. Climax is very anticlimactic. Hell is nothing special, but I don't know if it qualifies as Hell...it does freeze over every winter.

    This made me laugh pretty hard. By Mt. Rainier, there is Intercourse and Paradise, and yes, you have to go through Intercourse to get to Paradise. Another one that makes me giggle is near me... Potlatch, ID. I assume they were going for potlock, but nope, its Potlatch.

    Beiber. Seriously. Fortunately, it's been around for over a hundred years, so it predates Justin Beiber. Otherwise, the town would have to have been burned.

    Hi there, I believe your website could be acquiring browser compatibility troubles. When I appear at your web site in Safari, it seems to be very good but when opening in Net Explorer, it's some overlapping. I just needed to provide you with a fast heads up! Other then that, great website!
