Subverted/Averted, This She-troper lives in a place called Apple Valley. There are exactly two apple trees in the entire place, and it's not a valley by any stretch of the imagination.
#39246
This troper's house is called 'Hilltop' and is in actual fact at the top of a hill!!!
#39247
This troper used to live at 'The Limes'. There were four of them. They dripped sap on the car.
#39248
This troper's neighborhood is called "Forest Hills". It's got hills, and they're covered in forest.
#39249
A road near this troper's home called "Iron Bridge Road" does have an iron bridge at one end...but it would be better named "Twisty Turny Hilly One Lane Road", preferably with a few expletives thrown in the middle for good measure.
#39250
There is a pub called The Pub in this troper's town.
#39251
And at this troper's university. The Pub is located in the same building as The Snack Bar, which serves snacks. (It's somewhat misleading, though, because it also serves full-sized meals). Over on the other end of campus, there is another bar, which is called The Other End. Yes, this is the type of creativity that an education at the most expensive university in New Jersey will get you.
#39252
My university has The Bar on the Hill. It's a bar... on a hill.
#39253
This troper uses the Restaurant City app on Facebook. My cafe is called "The Cafe".
#39255
There is a little pub just off Hindley Street in This Troper's town. The name? The Little Pub Off Hindley Street.
#39256
In the Capital City of Iceland, there is a bar named "Gay Bar" in plain English. Take a guess.
#39257
This troper has a membership in a games store called, you guessed it, Game Store.
#39258
In the small, mormon, Utah town this troper lives in there is the One and Only bar. It is the only bar in town.
#39259
Subversion: The 24 hour computer lab at this troper's university is open from 6:00-12:00. The two other (well hidden) computer labs aren't labeled as 24 hour but actually are open 24 hours. Good laughs to be had around finals as Freshmen figure this little puzzle out.
#39260
This troper has a button on his microwave that says "Add 30 seconds." And it does. It is the most useful button ever.
#39261
Indeed, this troper loves that button as well. Great to warm up things that don't need too much time.
#39262
This is the most used button on this troper's microwave.
#39263
This troper's high school is [Blank] Island High School, in the [Blank] Island School District, located on [Blank] Island, Washington (State), which is an island called [Blank] Island ''in the middle of Lake Washington.'' Who'da thunk it? Supposedly, our mascot is the Islander, too. Filling out school, district, city, state forms can be very entertaining. Or, when you say what school you go to and people ask where you live. Because [Blank] Island is really a dead president. (Yes, I know that anyone who lives west of the Cascades knows where I'm talking about.)
#39264
Let me guess,
Adams Island?
#39265
This troper's elementary school was named "(name of the street it was in) School" and secondary school right next to it, but on crossroads, thus having address of a different road, was called "(name of the part of the town it was in) School". In fact, most elementary- and secondary schools and some high schools are named after their location. And allmost all universities in my home country are named after their location, except for ones in the capital.
#39266
A Chinese restaurant near this troper's school is named "Chinese Food"
#39267
There's a restaurant along I-5 in Washington State just called FOOD. With a neon flashing light, as well.
#39268
That's about as original as the one in our town. It's a buffet of Chinese food. No points for guessing that the name of the place is called "Chinese Buffet". We also used to have a "Chinese Restaurant". No joke.
#39269
There's a drug store in my area with a big sign simply reading "DRUGS". I've gotten a prescription filled there once, and thus found out from the receipt it ''does'' have more of a proper name that's just not posted outside for whatever reason, but to me it'll always be just Drugs.
#39270
This troper's girlfriend's father has a toaster, on which is a button labelled "A Bit More". If you press it, your toast goes back in for... a bit more.
#39271
This troper used to live a block from the Fu King Chinese Restaurant. It was a source of endless amusement to this troper and his girlfriend to say "let's go get some fooking Chinese food."
#39272
How does this fit the trope?
#39273
This troper's high school had a subversion. Yes, the Cafeteria was a cafeteria. Yes, the Library was a library. But 'The Bookstore' was... a snack bar.
#39274
The Student Union Building at this troper's university contained The Health Food Bar. They served smoothies and salads.
#39275
This troper attends Indiana University Kokomo, which is a branch of Indiana University in Kokomo. What they don't tell you is that Purdue University also has a branch on that same campus. There's also the East Building, which is not east, but north. Also, after it was built, another building was built east of ''it'', which is not named "Farther East Building" for some reason--it's called Hunt Hall. It seems I U K loves subverting this trope.
#39276
There is a rather rowdy-looking bar in the old town district of Tallinn, Estonia, which is named "The Bar with No Name". Smartasses.
#39277
But it does have a name, so it's not this trope.
#39278
No it doesn't; did you read the sign?
#39279
There's a bar by the same name (or lack thereof) in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
#39280
This troper has a ziplock bag with "Spider Relocation Chamber" written on it. I think you can guess what I use it for.
#39281
Putting spiders in camps?
#39282
In other news, The Hamburger Stand does, in fact, sell hamburgers.
#39284
This troper just got into modding DOOM using ZDOOM. He figured out how to set difficulty levels. His first difficulty level? Impossible. The warning text going into it? "
This is eating the sun."
#39285
This troper's tram goes past The Deli On The Corner.
#39286
Homsar}} This troper is currently working with some friends on designing a possible game we could make sometime. The name? Robot Adventure. (I'm the creativity-deprived person who came up with that title.)
#39287
This troper's hometown has what used to be a straight example which evolved into an aversion. Bridge Street did, years ago, lead one to the bridge to cross the river which borders the town. The bridge was eventually demolished and replaced by another one, but the newer bridge crosses the river at Pine Street. There is no longer a bridge on Bridge Street.
#39288
This troper recently discovered a story at a NSFW site with a capsule description thusly: "Mrs. Trotter has a lot of sex." This troper's interest was not sufficiently piqued to investigate.
#39289
Near this troper's college there is a bar on Coruna Road named "The Bar on Coruna Road".
#39290
This troper's friends have a tale about a friend of theirs who has a file on his computer labeled ''Horse Porn.'' Apparently it's ''exactly'' what it says on the tin.
#39291
Back when Of Steel}} this troper was a teenager living under his parents' roof, we had a lovely white cat whose name was Fat Cat.
#39293
This Troper used to live in a small Swedish town called Söderfors. Translation:
South of the river. Guess what's north of the town?
#39294
In another example, the same troper once wrote a short story called "In which Tim's life suddenly becomes very complicated." It's about Tim. His life suddenly becomes very complicated.
#39295
In Arlington, Texas, the home stadium of the Texas Rangers baseball team is named "The Ballpark".
#39297
This troper's mother asked her about a friend of hers, and she remarked, off the cuff, "Yup. One-eyed Sam, we call him." The troper's mother, who was admittedly driving on the highway at the time, said, "Why d'you call him that?" "...because he's got one eye, Mum."
#39298
This troper went to Iota High School. Can you guess the name of a town? Here's a hint. It's rather small.
#39299
There's a middle school in Arizona called Mountainside. It's right next to Desert Mountain High School.
#39300
This tropette lives on Fawn Ct. and fawn come across here regularly in the summer. Weird, cuz I live in a big city...
#39301
I want on a date in the
East Village in New York. We ate at a restaurant called 99 Miles to Philly, which is 99 miles from UsefulNotes/{{Philadelphia}}, and the dessert at an ice-cream shop called Sundaes & Cones.
#39302
This troper is a budding actor, and namedropped the trope when explaining the concept of a casting director to his father.
#39304
There's a very nice town called Fountain Hills. It has both. #QUOTE# Founder: Okay, for names... it has a fountain. It's on some hills. Fountain, hills... I think I've got it!
#39305
Subverted in the case of this troper. If you already went to the main site, you'd already known the story of the DVD-VHS recorder/player. Sometimes, after doing a lot of button-pressing, it'll display the text "Please press '''any key'''". The kicker? The remote control
actually has a button named "anykey" (yes, without the space between "any" and "key"). One can only wonder if the creators watched the Simpsons episode before releasing it to the market.
