    There’s a Table Mesa in Colorado, and another in Arizona.

    the baseball team The Los Angeles Angels

    Let’s not forget about their asinine episode of insisting their team name was “The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim”, which means if we abuse this principle aggressively, we can stretch it out to “The The Angels Angels of the homestead by the Saint Anne River”

      I, for one, applaud your aggressive principle abuse and pedantry. Excellent work.

      And I had no idea Anaheim was analyzable like that. Good show.

    Seems like a major stretch to say south [of the] southern lands is a tautology. Would be like saying North North West is a tautology (it isn’t).
