It seems that someone who shall remain nameless (but whose user name is comprised of a one-eyed, secret agent rodent and a state whose tourism-driven claim touts “The Greatest Snow on Earth”) asked someone else who shall remain nameless to verify where I am originally from in order to compile a list of the unusual city names from my home state.

I was rather amused.

The names of Utah cities/towns that I had in Sunday night’s post were just the ones that I saw on the signs on the trip back from Las Vegas. But, since the gauntlet has been thrown down, my inner antagonist feels the need to add a few more names to the “What in the Nine Hells Were Utahns Thinking When They Came Up With THOSE City Names” list:

  • Aneth
  • Shivwits
  • Shem
  • La Verkin (Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?!?!?)
  • Uvada (Not “Utah.” Not “Nevada.” Uvada!)
  • Paria
  • Verdure
  • Ucolo (Not “Utah.” Not “Colorado.” Ucolo!)
  • Ticaboo (I don’t have a joke here, I just like saying “Ticaboo.”)
  • Clawson

I’ll leave it there… for now.
