Didn’t work for the I Married Joan Wedding Chapel in Hohokus, NJ, or the Courthouse of Eddie’s Father in Des Moines . . .

Damn, I was so hoping this story wouldn’t make it out of Orange County. This really was the idea of one lame-ass councilman who was promptly and properly laughed into a state of quivering tan colored smoothieness.

My bigger fear is that now they’ll follow the lead of “Arrowhead Pond” or “Edison Field” and soon we’ll all be taking off from the “Tuck’s Medicated Pad Aerodrome”.

Changing the name is a good idea (I wouldn’t mind losing the statue either)…but changing it to that.
