BORING

Yep...this is where I spent most of my life! Really! Grew up, got married, moved to my own home, but stayed in Boring...they just recently changed the boundaries, so I am not officially a Boringite...but I am still one at heart. Not Boring at all! It is named after a family who origianlly settled there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boring,_Oregon

[Ann H. LeFevre]

This is too funny. Reminds me of a few interestingly named towns I know of (not as funny though), Lover, and Intercourse (which everyone thinks is off-color but actually refers to the roads which run through it).
