Toad Suck Road/A Real Road

Nearly went off the road, in hysterical laughter, I did as I was buzzing down I- 40, listening to The Golden Compass, on CD (a Christmas gift from one of my cousins, and a wonderful story, too), when I saw the exit sign for, Toad Suck Road in Tennessee. I thought, you've got to be kidding! How in hell did that get by Town Council...wait, is there one?

Then, I got to wondering, what kind of gift would you bring to someone who'd just moved onto said street and was having a house warming...

Then, I thought it was an appropriate address for my bro, Chris who'd recently ripped me off. His addy should be: 666 Toad Suck Road.

When I arrived in CA, one of the oldsters in my mom's community pointed out that I needed to be careful w/ my pronunciation. Ha! She's in her 80's. I nearly choked on my dinner.

Ole' Fashioned Girl and that figment of her ever lovin' imagination and I had loads of laughs over this as did Lady Perks and her perky family. So, I had to share it w/ all of you.

It's making being in my mom's house all that much easier.

Go on, make me laugh some more

You have to admit, it's got to be the weirdest name for a road you've ever heard, right.

Back later, have to walk the pups while the house is being shown. Look forward to seeing the comments, later though.

Somehow, I knew you guys wouldn't let me down

I do believe Kola would love Squirrel Level Road. He does love to chase those things, even at almost age 12. He actually caught one a couple of weeks ago.

Hmm, I've known a few Nimrods in my day, too.

What are peeps smokin' when they come up w/ these names. Have to wonder. Then, you have to ask yourself, do I buy a house on a street w/ such a name? Gah!

It's worth having your pic taken, no shame in admitting it.

Holy Bat Ash, I knew there was something about Perks! I did, I did...secret's out. I do believe you've nailed it, Williebee. Good work

Yikes...I just want to know what the so-called founding fathers/town council of these towns, cities are thinking when they name these streets. And the poor people who have to live on the streets and the jokes that go w/ them...don't step in it, for example.

Jeez.
