On the app, people can add a location if they want to check in somewhere that doesn't already have a location. For example I made one called: "The Hamel Lakehouse."
It should come as no surprise that people try to be funny and/or creative in naming places. My Big Comfy Bed is a place you could check into by our old house in Hickory Hills. Out here in Western North Carolina, you don't even need to come up with funny name because long ago, the forefathers of this area went to great lengths to give the surrounding mountains, valleys and roads funny and/or creative names. The best are funny at the 6th grade immature boy level.
You may recall a while back, I posted a picture of Peckerwood Road, which is located right by a golf course. This is a popular street sign to steal, natch. However there is an even better area around here, and I wanted to 'check in' from it on FourSquare. Much to my dismay, it isn't listed as a spot to check into via the app.
FourSquare, you've let me down how could you *not* have Smackass Gap listed!
Yes that's right Smackass Gap, see it's right there. I am sure there is some story that goes along with the name probably something about a stubborn mule, but who cares!
