Just wondering if any of our folks close to the source have a line on the street names this year yet.

The 'word on the street' is that this year's American-Street-o-Dreams will be called:

Abdominous
Blubbery
Chubby
Dumpy
Enormous
Fattish

Ya' know, I think I'll camp over by the airport.

One requirement of street names should be that they can be pronounced after a week in the dust and low humidity.
Otherwise, you have the street actually called.
"Ah, you know, that A street..."

I know it probably belongs in the "Lost and Found" thread- Anyone lose some really COOL golden plates with some kooky writing on 'em? I tripped over one while exploring the deep playa....

They are useless without the crystal goggles to make them legible.

I'm not a car person, but I'm pretty sure a couple of those cars aren't even American. I'm too lazy to google it, but feel free to correct me if you know better.
