Gary, Indiana
Some of you may not be aware that there was a lot of debate when the city of Gary, Indiana was founded regarding what it should be called. Here are a few other names that were considered:
Can't hear that city's name without singing the song . . "Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana, let me say it once again!!!" Bet everyone in Gary just LOVES that song.
I do have to wonder where someone in a berg with a population of 3,500, an unemployment rate of 8.1% and a city built industrial park that is now 23 years old and only 80% occupied gets off making fun of Gary, Indiana? Takes a bit of chuptza, don't you think?
I am willing to bet that I know more about Boyne, Boing than you do about "The Steel City?" To learn more than a little about the city you get off on poking fun at, pay a visit to the Dave's Den web site and click on the Gary item on the menu. You just may learn something.

I would have voted for Hank.
This is pretty funny.
i think "armpit" was once in the running also.
I've laughed at the expense of Gary, Indiana before - but this was much more satisfying.
What, no "Bochephus???"
not Dick..........
Why not Patrick, Sponge Bob, or Squidward?
Crabs might not be good.
