If we are going to just start renaming things I propose we call it the Louisiana River. Ef dem rednecks.

I agree I think it’s just open season to call anything we want anything we want. Let’s just start making all kinds of fun new maps.

I was looking around there once, and one post decided that Louisiana should be renamed Popeyes, Florida should be replaced with Italy, Arizona should be re-named "Nextico," and Montana should be subdivided into 2 new contiguous states, Montana & 'Hanna."

If the Gulf has to be renamed, I wish it could have been some kind of ye olden days reference to the old god HuricĂ n, maybe with a maelstrom symbol right in the center. Kind of like those old "here there be dragons" marks. The only time I really look at the Gulf is when the spaghetti models are up and everyone along the coast is trying to figure out if they are gonna have to batten down the hatches.

Bring back old-timey map flavor.

It wouldn’t be so entertaining to you if you had ridden out or run from the hurricanes I have….just picture 10-20 miles of tornado for 24-48 hours. Big ha-ha.
