I vote for Rectum Road, or Anus Acres "Ananova: Family sick of living on Butt Hole Road A South Yorkshire family have moved home because they are fed up with their address - Butt Hole Road. Paul and Lisa Allot, who lived in the £150,000 bungalow with their two children for 15 months, got sick of people pulling their leg. They say people posed for pictures outside their house, many of them with their trousers dropped, reports The Sun. And pizza deliverymen and taxi drivers refused to call at their home thinking the address was a joke. Paul, 30, a lighting installer, said: "I like a laugh but it was beyond a joke. We've had people steal the street sign and it got to the point where I dreaded reciting our address. "I thought it would be nice to rename it Button Hole Road. But it's easier to move than go through all the hassle of a new name with the local council." However, new owner Peter Sutton says he's happy to live on Butt Hole Road: "I think it'll be fun and I know what to expect."

Said something like: "Lost Hikers Found after Miserable Night on Chunky Gal." |

Best regards, Spehro Pefhany Junior has yet to forgive me for my comment in reference to the closing of the envelope factory as we passed through Manilla (Ontario) and a few minutes later, the sock factory in Argyle. Another time, I needed to locate a survey marker on the end wall of a pig pen just north of the village of Dog's Nest. Unfortunately, the building had been expanded and the marker was now on an interior wall about a foot below the working floor level ( built up pig s**t ) - I found an alternate marker to work from.

Close to my place is Dead Goat Road. I wanted to look at some property there but my wife said NO WAY! Bummer. What a great name. I was hoping for 666 Dead Goat Road as my new address. ERS |

I spent some time developing GIS street data for the United States and saw many incredible street names all over the country. A memorable one in Marin County, CA is called Chicken Shack Fire Road. Don't know why, but it stuck with me. Once during those years, a customer bought an Austin, TX street file from us, to replace the one she had just returned to our competitor. Seems our competitor had a disgruntled employee doing data entry. One of the segments on a main street in downtown Austin had been renamed "My Scrotum Stinks Bad." I always wondered what was going through the guy's mind when he sabotaged that particular file, and what he had been doing at the time. Jim |

My wife does genealogy and one of her long dead ancestors lived in
Fair fax county Virginia along the banks of "****ing CreeK" in the early 1700's. I wonder what they changed it to "Intercourse Creek"???? The Jim Wilson wrote: Gunner wrote...

Greetings all,
Let's see, around these parts we have Scratch Ankle and Blow Gourd, AL, Hanging Dog, NC and Suck Creek, TN. Suck Creek was actually named that due to the vortex created by the creek emptying into the Tennessee River with such force at times that it would "suck" boats into it and sink them. This was before the modern flood controls were in place, now it's a pretty good fishin' hole. ![]() Regards, Jim C Roberts |

And don't forget 'Sluts Hole Lane' in England. Yes it DOES exist. It was
changed to that recently by the local council, some of the residents were very unhappy, can't think why, it amused me ![]() "Jim Roberts" wrote in message . ..

I find that after talking to my wife that the before mentioned "****ing
creek" was in Louden County and not Fairfax. They did rename it and now it is called Modesty creek.
