There was also an element about this you were talking about before the show that I just loved.
Which one was that?
Oh, with the names of all the
Yes! Yes yes yes. So, I love the juxtaposition of all this natural beauty, you know, the magnificent horizons, the beautiful mountrain ranges, et cetera, with these ... unbelievably shitty names people gave everything.
[laughter]
Like! Like, oh, here's a town next to a bunch of water. Let's call it "Big Water." Oh hey, here's some Meadows. Let's call it "Meadows." Oh look, it's some more meadows over here!
Ah shit, Meadows is taken! What do we call it?
New Meadows!
[laughter]
Yeah, Meadows is too crowded! There's like 50 people in it! Time to build a new one!
My favorite though, my favorite is, what was it
Circleville!
YES! Circleville. I guess because it's got a bunch of crop circles?
Yeah but like, there are a million places in this country with crop circles. You don't get to be Circleville just because you have like 12 of them! It's like if you just called your city Ground.
It's funny, because you know, you look at Los Angeles and it's like "oh, City of Angels! That's a cool name." Or Cincinnati, named after a Roman general or whatever. Chicago comes from a Native American name for a local plant. But these guys in this part of the country were just like, "uhhhhhhh"
"Uhhh, there's some circles, we're Circleville now, fuck it, it doesn't matter, I'll probably be eaten by a bear tomorrow."
