How about IXL, OK. Go thru there often and wonder about it every time.

Lot of strange ass named Towns in Oklahoma!

I'm not sure why he led with Slaughterville, which was named after a person, and left out Beaver and Pank. It's kind of a shame that Bugtussle changed their name, because they would've been a lock.

I see Bug Tussle on Google Maps on the southwest shore of Eufaula Lake; what name change are you talking about?

Pank! Lurker is head mo fo from around Pank! But he is a low down dog who owes me a Crab Dinner! I have written, signed and witnessed paperwork. He is low life!

According to Wikipedia, it was renamed Flowery Mound in 1907, "but the name [Bugtussle] persists." Dunno if that's accurate or not.
