Yeah yeah we've done this before. As Dr Bill would say, YART me no YARTs. I just came across a new (to me) list that I thought I'd share with y'all (or you-all, in this case): Beefhide Bug Busy Do Stop (I *love that one) Drop Rock Hand Shoe (straight from German?) Hi Hat Jinks (no Hi here) Mousie Mud Lick Oddville (I gotta visit this place) Ordinary (this place, too) Rabbit Hash Soft Shell Uno (I trust Jackie and Alex and any other KYers will attest to or challenge the validity of this list)

Great list! Mudlick? What would? I've heard of salt licks, but mudlicks?
And there are other Ordinarys. I suspect that there was a function of a place called Ordinary. Ordinance?

Hoppin' right next door a bit, I recall a town in Tennessee that William Least Heat Moon pointed out in Blue Highways, his backroads jaunt around the US: Nameless. (always liked that one)  Nameless, Tenn.

My personal favorite is Nonesuch, Kentucky. http://www.bbonline.com/ky/nonesuch.html You could come up with some funny slogans, like "There's no place like Nonesuch."

I grew up in Alabama, where we have towns like Smut Eye, Lick Skillet, and my personal favorite: Enterprise.

I've heard of Mudlick, before and thought it was one word, but never been there and no idea where it my be in the state. Never heard of any of those other places. I have heard of French Lick, Indiana, though.

It would be funny if one had a vantage of French Lick from the town of Smut Eye.
