    Texas checking in… We don’t have as good of names like that but we have cities like Paris, Athens, and Odessa, TX. I think there are maybe 20 to 25 international city names that would make a fascinating road trip and probably be over 1K miles/1600 Km.

      you can claim you traveled to all those cities and hope people don’t have a follow-up question

        You can go see the Parthenon (full scale) and a Pyramid (not accurate) in Tennessee

        There are some random things around the U.S. that often get overlooked.

          How are you not mentioning that you can buy guns at the pyramid?

          That’s a very important detail.

            Are there any respectable places in Tennessee that you can’t buy both beer and guns? I mean hell, Walmart is supposed to be the low bar. If you can get a 12 pack, a shot gun and a few hundred shells and walk out without needing anything but an ID showing your 18, well this ain’t America

                To be fair, the same is true for handguns and firearm receivers.

      So not only do you guys not have a sense of humor, you also aren’t even creative enough to come up with your own names?

      Pathetic

        I didn’t realize the shitpost community also comes with its own Reddit bots. Nice! The assholery is appreciated. Thank you for throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

      Although still not as good as these, Texas does have some weirder names. Point Blank, TX and Cut and Shoot, TX are two that come to mind.

        So when I hear that someone got shot at Point Blank, they were in Texas. TIL

      The colonists really missed an opportunity imo, the USA could have had such great place names as New Fingringhoe, but instead it seems like only the boring names got copied :(
