Isle of man ; lol

Texas checking in... We don't have as good of names like that but we have cities like Paris, Athens, and Odessa, TX. I think there are maybe 20 to 25 international city names that would make a fascinating road trip and probably be over 1K miles/1600 Km.

[–] pyre 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

you can claim you traveled to all those cities and hope people don't have a follow-up question

You can go see the Parthenon (full scale) and a Pyramid (not accurate) in Tennessee

There are some random things around the U.S. that often get overlooked.

Since I've seen this route i constantly came

You missed out Minge Lane.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I've always liked that one. On a scale of fanny to gash, how impolite is it considered over there?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 37 minutes ago

It was very popular in the mid-2000s but I don't think I've heard anyone use it since then. I'd say somewhere in the middle.

The best part about Shitterton is that the name comes from "sewer town." Not another language, no alternate meaning, it is just as it sounds in modern English.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 minutes ago

The sign for Shitterton had to be carved out of a big chunk of local stone, because the normal metal ones kept getting nicked. Obviously.

Still avoids Scunthorpe. There is no good reason to visit Scunthorpe.

[–] pyre 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I think that's the Tom Scott video where I learned about Penistone

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

I’ve only learned the name “Scunthorpe” recently because I was reading up on a band I really like from there. I remember noting that it was about the ugliest name for a town I could think of that doesn’t actually contain any recognizable words… but I would assume it’s a perfectly lovely place regardless of that

I always thought Twatt and Shitterton were so close to each other... Shows what I know

Quick, someone print out and photocopy this photo

I am equally impressed that the journey is over 1k miles, considering the entire island is about 600 miles top to bottom. An extra 400 miles of no straight roads.

[–] 200ok 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I heard the phrase, "as the bird flies" recently in reference to the 600 miles type of measurement and thought that was neat

[–] [email protected] 1 points 38 minutes ago

"As the crow flies" is a pretty common expression on this very isle

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

I just confirmed that all of those places are real as depicted

Nothing beats, Fucking, Austria:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugging,_Upper_Austria

"Fugging (German: [ˈfʊkɪŋ] ⓘ), spelled Fucking until 2021, is an Austrian village (...)

Augustina Lindlbauer, the manager of an area guesthouse, said that the area had lakes, forests, and vistas worth visiting, but there was an "obsession with Fucking", and she had to explain to a British tourist "that there were no Fucking postcards".

[–] samus12345 6 points 9 hours ago

I refuse to spell it any other way than Fucking.

No Bell End or Wetwang?

If you want a shorter trip you can go from Blue Ball to Paradise. The road goes through Intercourse.

[–] UncleArthur 15 points 15 hours ago

Lots of side trips available to places such as Upper and Lower Dicker (East Sussex), Scratchy Bottom (Dorset) and Minge Lane (Worcestershire).

Here in Ohio you can go from Dayton to Marion in four hours but it's a commitment

[–] [email protected] 4 points 13 hours ago

I'm from Engagement Ohio. It's right between Dayton and Marion
