    Wheee! I spawned a meme! (Did I use that word correctly?)

    Sprout wings, young meme. Fly fly!

    Oh, and.. FWIW.. I kinda like ‘Hubbard Tolva.’ Unless it’s a girl. Cause.. you know. When she’s older, and has kids of her own.

  4. GC says :

    That’s a pretty week choice between the best and worst road names. Maybe you should expand your search to the burbs…

  5. Brian says :

    Yeah, they’re going to call him “Wacker” anyway, so you might as well make it stick. 😉
    And I can’t beleive no one suggested Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard Tolva or Lake Shore Drive Tolva.
