The San Fernando Valeey area of Los Angeles has bee, for about 20 years now, been seeking to form their own city. Well they of course would have to go about naming said city and have right now a non-binding Internet vote. The plain San Fernando Valley is leading, but next? How about Camelot. Camelot? Camelot! And no, it isn’t just a model. When they go to the ballots later this year then the vote will be binding, if they get their “independence” that is. At first I thought Camelot was pretty dumb, but it is actually growing on me. Not that I live there or anything.
NO. I will not live in Camelot. Camelot has castles and white horses and damsels in long dresses and knights in shining armor.
The Valley has… strip malls and SUV’s and teeny boppers in low-slung pants. Just not the same.
If it’s brought to a vote, I’ll be the first to knock that name down. Besides, I’m more partial to Rancho San Fernando that’s a little more befitting to the area.
And yes, I do live in the Valley. ::sigh::
Camelot? Camelot???
Well, then, I guess if I visited, I could wear my tiara with abandon!
Odd choice, I must say.
I am rather fond of Rancho San Fernando. Of course, that could be because I’m currently living in the land of 1,000 Ranchos: Rancho San Diego, Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Penaquitos, Rancho Santa Fe…
Camelot. Hmmm. It just doesn’t fit my experience with the SF Valley.
Whoa… you mean there are valley residents who seriously want to call the proposed new city “Rancho San Fernando”? :eek: :rolleyes:
And here I thought that was just a bad joke. Right up there with “Rancho Relaxo” from The Simpsons. Even “Camelot” would be better.
Valleygirlland?
:bye…:
Heh heh. Kevin & Bean on The World Famous KROQ were talking to one of the guys who is working on the name change (if they actually are able to secede), and they want all of their listeners to vote for changing the name to Camelot.
Oh, come on! Why, I’ve heard that in short, there’s simply not a more congenial spot for happily-ever-aftering that in Camelot.
But if you lived in Camelot, you could eat ham and jam and Spam a lot.
Perhaps, but you’d also have to push the pram a lot.
I predict this thread is about to take a turn for the silly.
Ooooh, Duke , I think you’ve certainly got a point there. If living in Camelot would be like living in a Monty Python kind of world, I could do it. I’m sure I could. In fact, I know I could.
We’re Knights of the Round Table
Our shows are formidable
But many times we’re given rhymes
that are quite unsingable
We’re opera mad in Camelot
We sing from the diaphragm a lot
In war we’re tough and able
Quite indefatigable
Between our guests we sequin vests
and impersonate Clark Gable
It’s a busy life in Camelot
“…On second thought, let’s not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.”
“Right.”
Nah. Wear it with a strapless evening gown & opera gloves. And, if you plan on smoking cigarettes whilst wear the opera gloves, use a holder.
Camelot?..talk about wishful thinking…:rolleyes:
I saw the list of prospective names on the news & immediately zoomed in on Camelot as oh no! :rolleyes:
I’m going to have to go against the tide here and say all the other names are abysmally boring, so if I had to vote I would pick Camelot.
However, I think rjung has the winner: Rancho Relaxo. Who wants to join me in a write-in campaign to make that the new name of Valley Girl country?
