Please explain your neighbors (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/09/dining/09kool.html?_r=1&oref=slogin).

Seriously. WTF? That is just vile.

If the irish can deep fry their mars bars, southerners can pickle cucumbers in kool aid. Its one big global white trash kitchen!

Seems better then a deepfried piece of pie or a snickers bar.

The Scots do that, not the Irish.  Well, they might do it too but it's notoriously Scottish.  Everything in this thread is nasty.

I'm sorry but coolaid pickled pickles beats deep-fried anything. Anything. Deep frying things makes them better no matter how weird it may be, pickling things in coolaid is just stupid.

What do you mean his neighbors? That's Haemish.

Hmm - he's prettier then I expected. Nice stylish glasses too.

Fuck, man, that's in the Mississippi Delta. I have yet to understand that place. There are towns there named PANTHER BURN. Who the fuck knows what possessed a human being to brine a pickle in the sugary sweet moisture from a fruit's ass?

Oh, ok. I proclaim the Scottlandsmen the White Trash Kings, schoolin the uppity Irishlandian homebodies :P

I've never had a fried Mars bar.  :cry:

That red one she has on the fork looks pornographic.  They need to stop that.  Think of the children!

"That pickle you have there sure looks.....excited!"

Fuck, that's awesome.

Bah, we have Fishkill.

How does that work? You just throw it in there? Won't that melt the chocolate and shit?

I've never done it myself, but I understand not if you have the oil hot enough - it forms a seal around the mars bar before it has a chance to melt.  Same way as you do deep fried ice cream.

You mean there's a way to eat fried ice cream without going to a chinease restaurant? I thought it was some super sikrit chinease thing. Now I have to try it tonight. I hope the frier doesn't blow up... 

My only advice is - don't use the same oil you just used to make some fish.

I nearly ended up working there. Well, East Fishkill.

But its hard to beat Effingham. It's a polite way to say Fuckingham, I imagine.

Imagine how upset the pigs were. Also, here in Alabama, we have the lovely little town of Half Acre. Try not to blink.

Bah, Georgia has some of the best odd names for towns:

My top 5:

Hopeulikit, GA
Between, GA
Climax, GA
Snapfinger, GA
Enigma, GA

In Oklahoma we have a town called Slapout. We also have a towned named Miami but the last vowel is pronounced with an uh sound. Miamuh. It drives me to distraction.

Where besides Tennesse can one find a town with a witty name such as Bucksnort though?

I am starting to wish that the South had won the Civil War.

We were in Intercourse, PA the other day.  We renamed it Fuck.

Pictures or it did not happen. :-D

Sounds more exotic than the village of "Cow Roast".

Alabama also has a town called Arab.  They pronounce it Ay-Rab, not because they cannot pronounce arab, but because the town was supposed to be recorded as Arad.  Apparently, someone in Montgomery fucked up and misspelled the name.  They just ran with it.

North, South Carolina.
Ninety Six, South Carolina.

Small towns are full of odd names, and citizens who don't care what anyone else may think about it.  *shrug*

We have Plano and Sandwich here in Illinois.  I'd like to found a town between them named "Baloney." 

My favorite towns here in Washington are:

Martha and George.

Knob Lick, Missouri. 

I'm pretty sure there's another intercouse in Mississippi or Alabama.

Grosse Tete, Louisiana

Or look here. (http://www.coolquiz.com/trivia/usa/towns.asp)

They have Cherry Hill, NJ as being weird, but not Cowtown? Stupid.

Good list, but it cheats a bit since not everything there is incorporated (that is, not actually a town).

French Lick, Indiana

Home of Larry Bird.

Does it involve siblings?

Only during mating season.

Cousins the rest of the time?

Coxsackie, NY is just south of Albany.

That makes more sense.

Sandwich is probably named after the Kentish town of the same name...which is what the food was named after (specifically, after the 4th Earl of Sandwich (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Montagu%2C_4th_Earl_of_Sandwich)).

And now you know. :)

Obligatory sandwich link. (http://www.theonion.com/content/node/33610)
