Subject: BS: bye From: Red and White Rabbit Date: 25 Oct 03 - 06:52 AM I am going to be in communicado for a while but will be thinking of you all Sue |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: gnu Date: 25 Oct 03 - 07:37 AM Where's communicado ? Sounds to me like a place you'd think there'd be access to the net. |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: catspaw49 Date: 25 Oct 03 - 07:38 AM It's a seaside community about 14 miles south of Marina Del Ray. Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Liz the Squeak Date: 25 Oct 03 - 07:48 AM Is it near Jeopardy? I hear there are lots of jobs in Jeopardy. LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: gnu Date: 25 Oct 03 - 08:32 AM Marina Del Ray ? Is she in Cognito ? |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: catspaw49 Date: 25 Oct 03 - 09:03 AM No, you're thinking of Delores del Rio. Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: gnu Date: 25 Oct 03 - 09:19 AM She's in Amorata. I swear that's the last one. From now on I'll be in Audible. |

Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Little Hawk Date: 25 Oct 03 - 01:08 PM I was in Sufferable once. Sufferable, Montana. It's a really small place with not much to recommend it, but it's okay if you need some quiet time. |

Subject: RE: BS: bye From: AliUK Date: 26 Oct 03 - 09:44 AM I do not believe that there is a place called Bucksnort!!! |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Stilly River Sage Date: 26 Oct 03 - 10:52 AM 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. |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Stilly River Sage Date: 26 Oct 03 - 11:02 AM Here is another favorite, in the tradition of Chicasaw names (as Faulkner used them) I think this means something other than how we read it today. |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Willie-O Date: 26 Oct 03 - 11:04 AM 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? Anyone have a comealong and a chain? Willie-O Mired in Debt |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: SINSULL Date: 26 Oct 03 - 11:13 AM I could not go to Morrow yesterday and back today for the train that goes to Morrow was a mile upon its way. |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: DMcG Date: 26 Oct 03 - 11:15 AM Bucksnort (see the clicky above) didn't do anything for me. But the fact that Only Rd is the only road leading to Only is lovely. |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: saulgoldie Date: 26 Oct 03 - 12:24 PM Sue, (Who told all these jokers to stop taking their meds, anyway?) I wish you the best and hope that if the reason is good that it is very good, and that if it is less good that you come back better and stronger for the experience. Ate logo. Saul |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Little Hawk Date: 26 Oct 03 - 01:04 PM You should not eat logo, Saul, without first determining whether said logo is made of edible materials. Logo-belly can result from such reckless behaviour. |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Stilly River Sage Date: 26 Oct 03 - 01:06 PM 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. |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Bill D Date: 26 Oct 03 - 06:38 PM if you get tired of Communicado, go to Hell |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Liz the Squeak Date: 26 Oct 03 - 06:57 PM I know someone who went to Hell and back.... didn't bring me a souvenir though. I've been round the Monkey's Jump and through Aunt Mary's Bottom... I've also been through Pratt's Bottom... Driven through some strangely named villages too! LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Little Hawk Date: 26 Oct 03 - 08:38 PM There's one little place near here named Apto. You're apt to miss it when you drive by, cos all it consists of is a gas station/variety store and a house. |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Bill D Date: 26 Oct 03 - 10:52 PM well, I've been to both Intercourse (Pennsylviania) and Climax (Colorado)....neither are anything like Hell! |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: GUEST,Hagbarthr Date: 27 Oct 03 - 02:12 AM I'm in Fleetwood, only a couple miles from Virginville. |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: mooman Date: 27 Oct 03 - 02:46 AM Well Greg..I was caught by the gondoliers in Delicto Flagrante once...I don't think you want to know the story... Peace moo |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Catherine Jayne Date: 27 Oct 03 - 03:23 AM Been to the Land of Nod.....Mrs Cobble and I went passed it with Micca when we were doing some sight seeing in Yorkshire.....however Micca slept right through it and didn't believe that we had been!!! |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Little Hawk Date: 27 Oct 03 - 09:58 AM 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... |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Bill D Date: 27 Oct 03 - 10:35 AM I just remember a place we used to drive through... Gas, Kansas |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Charley Noble Date: 27 Oct 03 - 01:05 PM Bucksnort is located on the Nonesuch River, here in Maine. Oh, to be in Gig Harbor again! Cheerily, Charley Noble |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: AliUK Date: 27 Oct 03 - 03:49 PM Well never having travelled through the North East of the United States, I can honestly say that I´ve never been to ME. |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Little Hawk Date: 27 Oct 03 - 05:29 PM You poor, POOR soul! I suggest repeated listenings to the song of that name ("I've Never Been To Me") by "Charlene" or somebody like that, to really drive the point home till it sticks... |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Celtaddict Date: 27 Oct 03 - 07:23 PM 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. |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Little Hawk Date: 28 Oct 03 - 12:14 AM Who is "Red and White Rabbit" anyway? I never heard of such a person until this thread appeared, saying "bye", and I'm around Mudcat enough that I would think our paths would have crossed somewhere... |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: LadyJean Date: 28 Oct 03 - 12:23 AM I was in Decicisive, once. I still can"t make upy mind if I liked it or not. |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: EBarnacle Date: 28 Oct 03 - 12:44 AM Charley, I seem to recall the Maine one is Bucksport. Give us a break. Those who seek opportunity, though, should go to Bird in Hand, which is near Blue Ball, PA. |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Dave Bryant Date: 28 Oct 03 - 11:52 AM Pratts Bottom is only down the road from us - I used to sing quite regularly in "The Bull". It's not far from where FOLKMOB hold their Knockholt weekends. Perhaps "Temple of the Golden Globes" should have a branch at Titsey which is also not far. |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Little Hawk Date: 28 Oct 03 - 01:07 PM Pratts Bottom has got to be the funniest one I've heard yet! Maybe you should go back and visit Decisive again, Lady Jean, just to put the matter to rest. |

Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Gray D Date: 28 Oct 03 - 07:44 PM I'm a little worried about Willy O asking where Bucksnort is if you're going west. It's in the same place, Will. I spose this would make me in Fernally Pedantic (Irish soccer team?). Gray D |

Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Dave Bryant Date: 29 Oct 03 - 07:05 AM Sue - are you going to hibernate in the rabbit hole - or has Raggy dragged you off to the emerald isle with him - or are you going to become a hologram like McFat ? |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Red and White Rabbit Date: 29 Oct 03 - 01:13 PM I have been around for a couple of years but I tend to keep quiet as you are all much wiser than I - I am not going off to the emerald isle with Raggy - and I couldnt be a hologram - too big - but the hunters are out and gunning for me so I am laying low - EBarnacle - nice to see you around before I go - did you ever find the rest of that boat? |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: TheBigPinkLad Date: 29 Oct 03 - 05:36 PM After a night on German lager long ago I found myself out of Minehead in Somerset. Now I'm not often in Ebriate. |

Subject: RE: BS: bye From: C-flat Date: 30 Oct 03 - 06:28 AM I currently live in SIN which seems to be quite popular being in close proximity to VAIN, a place some people go to die in, and just a short drive from HOPE(another popular place to live). For entertainment we often go drinking in MODERATION. We're not sure wether to go to BUGGERY for our annual holiday or spend a fortnight at LOGGERHEADS. |

Subject: RE: BS: bye From: GUEST,skipy Date: 10 Oct 04 - 06:17 PM If you turn right off the A417 between Wantage & Stanford in the Vale at a sign that says "Weak Bridge" you will end up in Denchworth without passing through another village, so where is Weak Bridge? Also where is Ausgang in Germany? there are signs at every exit on the Auotbhans pointing to it? but I never found it! Regards skipy |

Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Deckman Date: 11 Oct 04 - 08:38 PM Dismal Seepage, Wyoming was SOOOO small that when you drove into town, you saw the sign "Welcome to Dismal Seepage." If you stopped and looked at the OTHER side of the sign, it also said "Welcome to Dismal Seepage!" Bob |
Subject: RE: BS: bye From: Bert Date: 11 Oct 04 - 08:48 PM Hope to see you soon Red & White. Of course, like everyone else I was searching around to find some crazy name and looked up one of my favorites, Messing in Essex, England. AND much to my surpise I find that it's greatest claim to fame its that it's the ancestral home of the Bush family here. How appropriate! |

Subject: RE: BS: bye From: HuwG Date: 13 Oct 04 - 07:58 PM 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. |
