Poll question: Name that Scooter: The finalists!
I've informally screened the proposed names with two coworkers and my roommate. Here are the finalists. It's only fair that DUers name the scooter because DUers paid for it. Ideally I'd like a name that reflects well upon DU somehow. :) Thank you, everyone who proposed other cool names.

2. I hate Kudzu. I *love* NCC-1701-DU!
But then, I'm a Star Trek geek.

11. None of the people I asked
who helped me screen the names liked that idea. :( I thought it was really cool.

13. I have not found my appreciation for Star Trek yet...
maybe someday, but likely not. I'm sorry Trekkies, live long and prosper.

15. Anyone have a link to the kudzu thread?
Iza hasn't seen it, and for some reason my archive search keeps freezing... maybe there are too many threads containing the words "bullish on kudzu"! :rofl:

As I stated before, the thought of Thom riding Jerry cracks me up.

42. You are terrible at law! You have a reasonable expectation of privacy when
you have sex in public restrooms! That's Paper Chase 101, my poor, misguided friend.
