I'd like to see the match up between "Climax, NC" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climax,_North_Carolina) and a city in Europe.

Maybe "Condom, France" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condom,_Gers

I once saw a menu item in a restaurant in Bangkok (another great name!) labled 'Num Prik'. The name of the restaurant was the 'Rong Phuk'. ;D ;D ;D
