The city of Pula is in Croatia, which is indeed nearby Hungary. But the relief there has nothing to do with Texas. On the other hand, the Hungarian puszta is very much like the Texas prairie, from what I gather. Not that I've ever been to either Texas, or Hungary -- just guessing, that's all.
What's Abilene? Some kind of dinky town in the middle of nowhere in the Texan puszta?
ReplyDeleteI am glad you put the Hungarian there. I was thinking you meant pula, from a nearby language.
ReplyDeleteActually, the Abilene thing is described here in this newfangled wikipaedia thingy.
Heard of it?

ReplyDeleteI think the putz is very similar to the pula if you choose the right languages.
ReplyDeleteThe name of the city comes from Latin: Colonia Pietas Iulia Pola Pollentia Herculanea. They eat polenta there?
ReplyDeleteYeah, and then they stick their pulas in each other's colons or something.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a Kayla town to me.
