We could prolly compile a lits of a couple hundred honorable mentions that didn't make the cut, but...meh.

Though Winnipesogee and Contoocook are always fun to throw in the mix. Folks from elsewhere have an especially hard time with the latter.

By way of context...a couple months ago there was a similar parody by some Minnesotans. So this vid is a couple degrees of separation from the original. Kinda like Dr. Demento doing a cover of a Weird Al Yankovich parody.

Hmmmm. Actually, I'll drop my .02 on an omission. Left out one of my favorite Abenaki placenames - Gonic.

Sounds like sumpin' a sailor would get on shore leave. "Boy, I went ashore last week. And am all itchey now. I hope I ain't got the gonic!"
