I'd like to be a fly on the wall when someone from Climax, MI meets someone from Intercourse, PA

Well, after all the fun and games, it all goes down the Drain, Oregon

I want to banish the prefix, "Turbo." The reasonable meaning has to do with a turbine, but advertizing morons have stuck it onto hair spray, garden hoses, computer soft/hard ware, and so forth, as in "Turbocharge your sex life with Hypernads!" So, you wanna get it on with a water pump?

Romeo, Michigan, is not too far from Climax, but oddly, Bliss is quite a ways away. BTW, congratulations, consuelo :D

Similarly:

Loveland, Washington; Sweet and Bliss, Idaho; Valentine, Date, Dateland, and Congress, Arizona; Valentine, Nebraska; Lovewell, Peck and Protection, Kansas; Loyal, Loving, Loveland and Joy, Oklahoma; Groom, Happy, Loving, Joy, Venus, Lovelady, Valentine and Beaukiss, Texas; Eros and Peck, Louisiana; Loyal, Spooner, Moon and Romance, Wisconsin; Swain, Heart, Bride and Romance, Arkansas; Love and Darling, Mississippi; Love Hill, Alabama; Romeo, Kissimmee and Venus, Florida; Valentine and Groomsville, Indiana; Loveland and Congress, Ohio; Flingsville, Kentucky; Love Station, Sweet Lips, Love Joy, and Lovetown, Tennessee; Blissville, Massachusetts; Desire, Ogle, and Venus, Pennsylvania; Loveladies, Delaware; Love Point and Loveville, Maryland; Valentines and Love, Virginia; True and Romance, West Virginia; and Love Valley, Lovejoy and Trust, North Carolina.

And I found the coolest map while I was looking these up. This:

shows the addition of the states to the continental US.

There's plenty of other problems I have with this list.

I've heard 'athleticism' for quite a while and I thought it was meant to be a generalization.

At least 'functionality' made the grade.

Loveland, Washington

Bah! I don't think that place is even populated. The only Lovelands of any import are Loveland, Colorado, a sizeable ski town and Loveland, Ohio, home of last year's Kennedy Center National Student Playwriting Award recipient, the Cincinnati area's first Rhodes scholar, and a certain AWAD featured member of the month.

you can lead a hippo to water, but you can't stop him from sinking. but I delapse.

Both de lapse and de collapse can be cured by decollete.

{And I apologize for de-lay and de-lapse in posting this.}
