Ever notice some clever sounding fix names in your area?
A list of clever fixes (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BybtFqojE0vGYkNTNEQ0eU1PSFU)
Enjoy. The format is pretty primitive and I'm updating it quite often so expect it to expand. Corrections, suggestions, questions, welcome.

That's a great list! Must have taken a while to do

See if you can figure this one out: https://skyvector.com/files/tpp/1704/pdf/00678IL16.PDF (https://skyvector.com/files/tpp/1704/pdf/00678IL16.PDF)
Also, fun fact, DUNKK used to be DRUNK - conveniently located over the South Shore of MA, where all the Irish folk live.
Thanks for compiling this. Great stuff.

I think Cam meant this one.... http://155.178.201.160/d-tpp/1704/00678R16.PDF
Clever indeed!

This is what happens when I get too excited and rush.
...I know, "that's what he said"...

Another one I like in ZBW airspace; https://skyvector.com/files/tpp/1704/pdf/00859IL18.PDF

Here (http://155.178.201.160/d-tpp/1704/06015R6.PDF)'s another fun one in ZBW's airspace.

Can you explain this one? Pardon my apparent oblivious-ness.

Lol. I don't think this qualifies as "clever" because there doesn't seem to be anything else related to it around nor does it seem that relevant to any regional/historical context. Maybe the Salem Witch Trials, but I hesitate do add it.

I guess maybe if you're old like me and grew up with Looney Tunes and the "old school" FAA, you'd think it funny and clever that someone from the FAA would even do it.... ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-B5vCLAoqw

Can't forget the loads of Star Wars references throughout the Austin airspace! 'WINDU' 'VADRR' 'SSOLO' 'JEDYE'

Some good ones into Chicago O'Hare;
FYTTE4 arrival has a few hockey references; BHAWK SNLEY CUUPP https://skyvector.com/files/tpp/1704/pdf/00166FYTTE.PDF
And also some good Star Trek references (on multiple STARS including the FYTTE); SOOLU KURKK VULCN https://skyvector.com/files/tpp/1704/pdf/00166FYTTE_C.PDF
