"Dicks Unlimited" sounds better, though. Tongue

Not a city, but there are at least two places in the US called Gobbler's Knob

Yeah, that . . . just wouldn't do it for me.  Now if there is a place called Beaver Snatch or something, we might be onto something.

Soddy Daisy Kentucky is always good for a chuckle
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

The others I understand but these two I have no idea what do they mean and Google doesn't seem to know either.

Oh they still exist.. I went a couple of years ago and remember driving by as they are on the shoulder with their horse and buggy... their numbers i think are declining (who could resist iphones and flat screen tv's with PS4's lol) but they are trying to maintain their crazy retarted community...

I have a couple of customers who are amish which is annoying cause they don't email... i have to call a community phone or dial their "shanty" phone line in hopes one is near enough to pick up if i need to talk to them... 

on another note, they're finding loopholes left and right to use modern tech... they have their phones in shanty's now (which before you couldnt have a phone) they're taking busses to trade shows, half of the menonites drive and have electricity.. its almost a joke at this point.. They have a freaking TV show for CHRISTS sake! lol they're not allowed to be photographed but their on TV!?!

and now that i've mentioned menonites, lets throw in a Hitchens joke... Why did the amish girl get shunned from the community... 2 menonite... Wink  lol

So to be fair, there are different levels of religiousity amoungst different amish groups, just like with everyone else. Not all of them are forbidden cars and electricity.

'Balix' is sounded like 'bollocks', a euphemism for testicles.  'Willy' means 'penis', so lower testicles are near the strangled penis.

I suspect that this is not a uniquely Irish phenomenon.

Maybe they're just Toadies fans?
