Amusing!  The list originally dates from around 1987 I think; I got it
by a combination of randomly thumbing around in my big International
atlas plus a US state atlas, some searching for hacker terms in
gazetteers (thus Mungar Junction and Lisp), and some names I had heard
about from other people as places they made fun of (Ronkonkoma,
Walla Walla, etc).
