Kirsten Dunst and Jamie Dornan? Together? In the 18th century? In powdered wigs (well almost)? Count me in. In fact, care to make a William Cal sandwich?

And now, the moment we've all been waiting for!

It's happening too much these days, and I'm tired of it.

Far too many people are asking, "Why isn't there a list of the 42 goofiest place names in Texas, organized by theme?" Fret not, masses: your day has come!

In today's hard-paced, fast-wired modern society world, cliches travel faster than a jackrabbit with a jetpack. Your grandmother already knows that China, Paris, Reno, Odessa, and Portland... are all towns in Texas. But "places that aren't in Texas, but actually also are" is the oldest theme around. So, without further adieu, here they are. WARNING: Some towns may be unsuitable for younger readers to learn about and/or visit.

NONSENSE:

Arp

Ding Dong

Dilley

Poteet

AFTERLIFE:

Elysian Fields
Utopia

Paradise

Heckville

POOP:

Chocolate Bayou

Coffee City

Cistern
