I just can’t stop wondering why Brooklyn (as in New York) is popularly (and officially) abbreviated to BKLYN.
À la:
{ Brooklyn Spoke }
If we’re getting rid of vowels (which is the NRMAL… I mean, NRML way) shouldn’t it be BRKLYN?

“Don’t you just love New York in the Fall? Makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of alphabetically sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address…” — (a slightly altered) Tom Hanks as Joe Fox in You’ve Got Mail (which, I confess, I have seen at least 200 times).
I am going to New York in the Fall. Am very excited. Excited enough to buy a bouquet of pencils in celebration. If only I could get a set of 26 like this, it would certainly heighten the vacationary* stationery loveliness.
* No, not a real word.
