Re: Weird City Names

Two things:

First: Boring Maryland??? How dare you say such a thing? I'll get you for that!!!

Second: Hey, Solus, I live near Marlborough too... just the wrong one. There're two near me, Upper Marlboro and Lower Marlborough. Always been my theory that they named the cigarrettes for Upper, since it was a big tobacco town... well, small tobacco town (founded to tax and regulate it, shipping only through it). Wikipedia disagrees, but screw Wikipedia.

Re: Weird City Names

We have some odd names in the UK - Shag Rock is one of them (yes, the source of endless amusement for the 16 year old boys I went to college with :rolleyes:)

To keep us quiet on long car journeys up North, me and my sis were given the A-Z of England to help plot our route - we spent most of our time finding the oddest and/or more obscene names of places...as we were about 7 and 9 respectively, most the names had the word bottom in...how we laughed...

Re: Weird City Names

19 if you're lucky? Huh? I'll be seventeen all next year, and I'll be eighteen the year after that, when I should be going to college.

Oh, wait, is Freak not in America? I thought he/you was... if he isn't then what I said is invalid.

Huh? What d'you mean? You mean some areas call high school college? Actually, that does make sense. This one high school in Baltimore is called Baltimore College, and I could never figure out why. That would explain it.

And yeah, I just realized that Freak is right. I'll be eighteen, but that's because my birthday is in the summer. Someone with an earlier birthday would be nineteen.

I do have a question, however: how can most of the people who go to college be both nineteen and twenty?
