GUEST,Dave'sWife BS: Strange/funny/odd names of towns/cities (118* d) RE: BS: Strange/funny/odd names of towns/cities 25 May 05


Oh lord love Hohokus sometimes spelled on signs as Ho-Ho-Kus!
(Really cheap petrol there ya know. Best to stop and tank up before proceeding further south where the prices are higher)

In the late 1970s there was a huge rash of kangaroo sightings in Hohokus around the same time as Son of Sam was shooting couples parked in cars/kissing and.. Coinciding with Veronica Leuken's visions of the Virgin Mary in Bayside. I'm telling ya.. LSD in the water supply fer sure!

Apparently, outbreaks of Kangaroo sightings happen from time to time in communities with railroads nearby. The story is usually that a Ringling Brothers Circus train derailed and the 'Roos done escaped to go have some fun in people's backyards trying to convince pussycats they is just big mice. OK.. so I tacked on the Warner brothers cartoon scenario at the end there. Still - Kangaroo sightings do come in groups, kinda like the ABC sightings today.

Now if we could just get some ABK sightings again...
