Yup. At the bottom of a long hill on the Interstate as you head east toward Nashville from Memphis. I've always regretted that they don't have a post office. I'd love to have something postmarked there.

So SRS, where is Bucksnort if you're going west?

I would figure the buck would be snorting looking at the prospect of going up the hill, right?

I usually notice the town when I'm traveling east, is all. It's off the interstate. Probably when you're eastbound it's a good point in the trip after leaving Memphis to stop to pee. And I also like Only Road. Very nice touch.

Yeah? Well, I've been through Saurin several times and lived to tell the tale!

It's a spooky place, and with a name like that should be hiding some dark and terrible secret behind its bland facade. All it consists of (on the surface, I mean) is a stretch of country road with a small house on the right and a farmer's field on the left, and a sign at each end saying "Saurin". (Creepy.....) The population, I would gather, is less than ten souls at best, but what about the undead??? I expect to see Jack Nicolson peering out madly from the windows of the little house...

Since my original name is Buck, I was delighted when my brother sent me t-shirts from Bucksnort. With the buck on them, of course. They have gone over in Connecticut just as one would expect. He did not send me a jug of the "snort" for which the place is allegedly named.
Supposedly a moonshiner named Buck was well enough known that folks used to say, "Let's head over to Buck's for a snort," and that eventually resulted in referring to the place as Bucksnort. So the t-shirt says. If it isn't true, it should be.

A man asks a girl for a dance. He manages to tread on her toes several times. "I'm sorry", he says. "I'm just a little stiff from rugby."

"I don't care where you come from", she says. "You're not dancing with me again."


Of course, you could also be a little stiff from Badminton. Or Saling, near Braintree in Essex.


And, of course, you can also be born just outside Wedlock, which I believe is in Berkshire.
