How about the Penistone Terrier? The Bald Knob Retriever? The Titty Hill Spaniel? The Climax Pointer?
Various lap dogs could be called the "Downer," "Disappointment" "Boring" and, of course, "Crapo".
And then, of course, there would be the Fucking Dog, the Toad Suck Cur, the Crapstone Lurcher, and the Slaughter Hound.

well, Google is just great, Showed me the best way to get to Paradise from Intercourse, PA. It takes almost 90 minutes. Starting from Blue Ball or Bird in Hand saves 15 or so minutes.
I've been to Intecourse (a nice little farmer's market) and ridden the steam train at Paradse (a really great little ride), but I do not think I have been to Blue Ball or Bird in Hand. lLife's not yet over yet, though ....

There is a park along the Columbia River named after a rock formation -- sort of. When they made the area a park, the name was gentrified to Rooster Rock. The rock formation does not look like a chicken.

"A Big Ugly Man Died Yesterday."
