        Rural places get weird, doubly so when they got bored without the internet.

        Just ask Pennsylvania. Virginville, Two Lick Valley, Rough and Ready and so much more.

        Maybe it’s also a dutch influence…

    Alas, the iceberg lacked staying power: Pretty photographed the 30-foot (9.1 meter) phallic structure on Thursday, April 27. It collapsed the next day.

    Hate it when that happens.

    I always thought “D.C.” meant “District of Columbia.” TIL from the combination of your username and post that it means “Dildo, Canada.”

    Kind of a weird name for the capital of an entirely different country.
