A Comparative Photo Essay
Everywhere Else, USA:
[Ho-hum street names having to do with sports]
Santa Cruz:
[Straight to the point: Old Big Trees Rd, along Hwy 9]
[Actual street names en Español: Quién Sabe Rd, Scotts Valley]

Namespotting:
And *this* lady on Facebook. I don't make fun of too many names as a general rule, but I can't stop laughing when I say this name out loud.
Apparently this is her real (married) name--I know because I made the blunder of publicly asking our mutual friend on her Facebook post.
I totally thought it was an awesomely disgusting, double entendre nickname and that she was my kinda people...yeah. No. It's her real name.
She ended up sending me what my father-in-law calls a "nastygram" (p*ssed-off rant of a message) over FB messenger, calling me out as a stupid, terrible person for making fun of someone's name like that.
True, true. To be completely honest it was more out of amazement than b*tchiness, though. But by then I was laughing too hard to explain myself, backpedal, or apologize properly, so I just blocked her like the grownup I am.
Also me, inside my head: [Honey you do realize you don't have to take your husband's last name? Way to take one for the team.]
Then again, if Joe's last name were Butt, I still would've taken his last name, too.
