So the good ol' boys found a name for our newly lined out geographical area. Crayola got the contract. It's in a lovely shade of washable crimson.

Story I heard was that the residents were asked to vote on their new name and the majority would decide. ...'Cept my fellow Canadians (I just LOVE this) overwhelmingly voted to call the new territory "Bob". SO... the government protected us... (they claim all rights to the sacred cow of public embarrassment and ridicule) and stepped in to save us from ourselves.

Curious to know what the rest of the globe thinks of the name, which I am told, I am not pronouncing properly.

Anybody out here a resident of Bob?
