So all this time you lived in Kansas City, Missouri. For shame...

 

[Figgles]

Moscow, Kansas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How can a settlement of 310 people ever be considered a city? Even calling it a town is stretching it.

 

[Zexy]

Wow, just having a town called Moscow in Kansas is amazing!

Kansas City, Kansas is a thing, you know. Kansas City, Missouri is just larger in size.

There's an Athens in Texas. It's apparently the birthplace of the hamburger.

Americans aren't very original when it comes to naming towns and cities. .-.

I knew it that hamburgers were first created in Greece!

Apparently, there are lots of places like that all over the world.

Case in point: Your largest city is named New York.

 

[Zima]

And one of our fifty states is called NEW MEXICO.

 

[Figgles]

And one of our fifty states is called NEW MEXICO.

Heck, the name of the nation is taken from the continent.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

There's an Athens in Georgia, too. Hell, the state's name is Georgia.

 

[Figgles]

Nah, Georgia is named after the king.

 

[Zexy]

Τhere is also Washington, District of Columbia

 

[Figgles]

Τhere is also Washington, District of Columbia

Again, that is a derivative name. There is no other place called Columbia.

 

[Zexy]

Oops! I thought that the nation of South America was called Columbia. It is Colombia, though.

 

[Windchild]

There is no other place called Columbia.

How

of you! >:O

 

[Figgles]

How

of you! >:O

Well, there is, but they basically ripped of the name from the district.

- Quidditch
- Vladimir Putin's house
- cheese
- a catcher's mitt
- a corpse flower

What a strange class.

Once upon a time Jabberwocky went to Russia to see his idol Fabulush and along the way, stopped at ol' Fabby's neighbour Vladimir Putin's house. His house was always odd, last year it was made out of ceramic but this year he went for a tasteful mozzeralla design. The cheese on the roof overflowed dripping on to the windows, and finally caught in a catcher's mitt. Jabber walked in, Putin didn't believe in the oppressive power of Western door bells, and said "Hello Putin." Putin looked at him with a cold Russian stare, analyzing his deceitful Western body. "Vat do you vant?" barked Putin as he donned his wizard robes. Putin was setting out to play in a game of Quidditch, Russia's second favourite national pass time, after drinking of course.

Jabber smiled at the old Rusky. Underneath his winter jacket and scarf, he too was wearing wizard robes, and inside his shopping bag was a broom.

And they lived happily ever after. The End.

Well, except this flower by Fabby's grave. She died of loneliness.

did you just ship me with vladimir fucking putin

Indeed. You can't really expect a country whose entire population are immigrants to have much original content. People named settlements after stuff they remember from home. This also applies to Canada and Australia and anywhere that was a former colony.

 

[Proxima Centauri B]

Thats what they knew though, it makes sense for them to have used the name of the place they were from.
