1. The earthquake ravaged city of Katmandu in Nepal, has closed down. It will now be renamed Katmandone. It was a noble attempt, but Katmandu is now past tense. In other words, Katmandu is Katmandid, and is now Katmandone.
2. In happier urban news Timbuktu has expanded. It’s now Timbukthree.
3. No changes to Bumf*ck, Idaho, although they did get a new Payday Loan Center where you can get up to 75% on a clean motorcycle title loan. You may also pawn an organ if you currently possess more than one of them.

6. After almost 200 years of recovery Wounded Knee, South Dakota will now be called Healed Knee, South Dakota. Wow, talk about a pre-existing condition.
7. And finally, did you hear about the gay Australian? I hear he went back to Sydney.
8. Well what about the lesbian North Carolinian? She went back to Charlotte.
9. And Jojo? He went back to where he once belonged.
