Oatmeal, Texas is aptly named. This is an area where oats are the predominant agricultural crop.

Just up the road apiece- Ding Dong, Texas.

Lots of quirky, weird little town names in Texas.

Cut n’ Shoot comes to mind. Also, Dimebox.

There’s a joke in those two names somewhere but I’ll be damned if I know what it is!

I didn’t know that. I only knew because I used to commute from Sacramento to Redding on I-5 a lot.
