So, there aren't "official" names; the intent is that they are areas that exist off the beaten path and outside of the confines of reason, so it made the most sense to me NOT to name them.
That said, I do have names for them that I used internally. I don't want to advocate for them as the "right" names, so I won't state them here, but most of the location names on the wiki are basically what I had in the editor.
I don't really like to talk about specific intentions because it ruins discourse when people can just point to stuff I say. For what it's worth, though, that's not a telephone.
10 years later, the "missing cow" theory of Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass has 100+ interrelated wiki entries and youtube is flooded with fan theory videos.
All this secret cow discussion is really ruining the "secret" part.
It's true; the inescapable impulse to reply to these is my downfall.
When I first thought of the name Punch Tanaka (for proto-Jimmy: see https://www.tumblr.com/jimmyandthepulsatingmass/186849925866/a-look-back-at-old-jimmy), I tested it out on my roommate's then-girlfriend by saying stuff like, "Let me tell you a little something about Punch Tanaka" in, for lack of any other way to put this, "his" voice, and the fact that she immediately "got" it (and started repeating it) was like me passing a billboard in my head that said, "You're not wrong; go with it."
Yeah, all the time! Most of the time I remember my dreams, too, but I've never lucid dreamed.
Friendly reminder: I don't like to talk intent publicly. Talk about it with other fans!

Most of their food is middling, but blizzards are great--especially the pumpkin pie blizzard. Definitely a go-to when I'm feeling depressed and want to feel a little worse about myself.
Yeah, I went through a Ween phase in high school. "Your Party" is one of my favorite songs to sing at karaoke if it's available. "The Argus" is probably my favorite from them overall, but I still like a lot of their stuff.
It's obviously the Tanaka on the lef--
Trick question. Punch Tanaka can't be controlled.

Some people are just destined for greatness, I suppose...
I'm going to take this as a huge compliment, but perhaps you'd be interested in a look back at what the game could have been:

Definitely another valid riff for a sequel.
I don't think Streisand is a necessary part of the Streisand Effect, but I'm not going to shoot down any publicity ideas.
