I grew up in Hornell and I don't get the joke. She is a girl from a small town in western NY who made the Jills squad. So what't the joke?

 

you don't see the horny/horney thing? you don't have to know anything about hornell to get the joke. Go to the dictionary and look up horny. You will get it then.

Nope sorry. Hornell looks nothing like horny. I don't need a dictionary to understand that. I know what horny means. Hornell looks nothing like the word horny. Check the spelling. Not even the same number of letters. To think that it is even close is really a stretch and really reaching to find humor.

 

Butter Face. But what do you expect from girl from a town named after a ham

 

Bit of history for you. In 1794 an Indian trader and entrepreneur by the name of George Hornell arrived in the valley with big things on his mind. Sensing promise in what he saw, he purchased more than 2000 acres of prime land that same year. The City of Hornell sits on a portion of this property. George Hornell was born in York, Pennsylvania in 1768. His father was Nils Hornell, a native of Hör, Sweden. In 1852, Hornell was selected as the southern terminus of a new branch line to Buffalo, further enhancing Hornell's prospectus. In the same year, the Village of Hornellsville was incorporated. These events are not coincidental. The Erie shops were about the greatest thing to hit Hornell since cream cheese.If anything broke on the Erie, they would send it to Hornell, where the engine shops alone could handle 20 steam locomotives at once. Now, as the fortunes of the railroad go, so go the fortunes of Hornell. And for many years the relationship was good. With the railroad came industry, and Hornell's fortunes grew along with the railroad. The population grew, and the village achieved city status in 1888. The name remained City of Hornellsville until 1906 when it was changed to the City of Hornell.During this period, Hornell took on all the trappings of a medium size city--home to three hotels, three banks, five silk mills, several woodworking factories, a fairgrounds and a horse racing park, a brewery, a shoe factory, a tannery, and even an opera house. Hornell flourished, life was good.The Erie and the City of Hornell hummed along for many years.

 

Hornell seems to have an affinity for baseball. Professional baseball had an 80-year run in Hornell, beginning with the International Association in 1878, and ending with the Hornell Redlegs in 1957. The city hosted numerous teams and leagues over the years. Maple City Park was built in 1942, partly to host the newly franchised Hornell Pirates farm club. That stadium was destroyed in a fire and was rebuilt. It stood until the early 60's when it was demolished to make way for the new high school. The Pirates played in Hornell until 1947 when they were replaced by the Red Sox for a two-year run. In 1950 the Hornell Dodgers materialized as farm club of the Brooklyn Dodgers and totally reinvigorated baseball in Hornell. The 1950 Hornell Dodgers won the pennant by a margin of 10 1/2 games, and the 1951 winning team included player Maury Wills. Attendance at Maple City Park for those two seasons was 97,000 and 74,000 respectively. Wow. The Dodgers left in 1956, making way for the last team to make Hornell home, the Hornell Redlegs. The Redlegs moved to Geneva in 1958, thus ending the era of professional baseball in Hornell.

There's one from Dansville, too. :thumbsup:

 

Love D'ville! Lived there for 7 years, managing QC for Foster Wheeler. Great Octoberfest @ Labor Day with the Hot Air Balloons!

 

Since some are on a trivial trivia run here, there's a small town close to Dansville named Retsof. That's 'Foster' spelled backwards. -not that it has any meaning on the lifestyle of the people from the area..

 

Tell me, is her name 'Jill' too?..:flirt:

Yeah, I got the "joke". But really? Hornell does not translate into "Horny" in most normal peoples minds. Did anyone really think that was funny? I guess it's nice to see a post on something other than "at #3 we draft ...", but that was a little weak. I think commenting on the headline "Wang Pushes the NFL's Boundries" would have been funnier.

I understand the whole post is kind of childish and stupid, but lighten up man. Is the town named after you? You sure did that this dumb post pretty personal.
