FYI I checked out the info on the About.com jobs and in their job post they include a link to their site which lists MANY more positions they are looking to fill (with more details).
About.com is particularly looking to fill the following topics:
Muscular Dystrophy
Waterskiing/Wakeboarding
Chess
Camcorders
Men’s Big & Tall
Sally Kane, Esq.
About.com Guide to Legal Careers
I wonder what life is like in Carefree, Arizona. Is everyone untroubled? And is that annoying?
@ Cathy and Cindy F: I’m glad you guys liked the quote – it really spoke to me as well.
@ Skippy: I thought the same thing when I saw the name Carefree, actually! Maybe it’s right next to Pleasantville?
i think it’s near Goodland, Colorado
I live not far from Intercourse, PA. Now THAT’S a town!
(In all actuality, intercourse is probably all that is done there. It’s pretty rural. Guess it could be worse.)
Oh, and down the road a piece is Paradise and the Village of Eden. No kidding.
Georgia has a Climax, which I’ve always found amusing when I’m driving though.
Brandi:
Please tell me you yell “AHHHH!” out the window when driving through…? ha ha ha
@ Angelique: Now I’ve got that song, “Two Tickets to Paradise” stuck in my head, LOL!
I used to work at a mail order company and kept myself entertained by keeping a list of great customer and place names. My favorite town name was Cut and Shoot, Texas. It sounded like a really dangerous hair salon.
Don’t forget Hell, Michigan. To get there, you turn on Church Street (really)!
If you want to check out places with unusual names, pick up a copy of photographer Gary Gladstone’s two books:
Passing Gas: And Other Towns Along the American Highway
and
Reaching Climax: And Other Adventures Along the American Highway
I actually had to do some real estate articles for Carefree a few months ago. Dick Van Dyke lives there. Housing prices are absurd IMO compared to other suburbs of Phoenix and Scottsdale though.
