Dicks

Postby Ouchyfish » Thu Nov 24, 2005 2:03 am

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Michael Fisk is a street fighting man. And the street he's fighting is named Dicks.

Fisk, who lives on Dicks Street in the Los Angeles suburb of West Hollywood, has gone to city hall to get the road's name changed -- saying that its slang meaning has made life difficult for homeowners.

"Since we moved in four years ago its just become such a hassle," Fisk said. "It's embarrassing. Something definitely needs to be changed. I realize that it's a man's name, but words change meaning, and this one has."

Dicks Street is in a neighborhood that fancies first names for its roads, with Keith and Norma among the choices.

Fisk, who collected signatures on a petition from more than half of the residents on Dicks Street, has so far been met with a lack of interest from city officials, who say that changing a street name is too much work.

There is a street here in San Antonio called "Rector" St.

To the east of Rector there is another street named East Rector. All the signs on East Rector read: "E Rector"

Very ha ha

Stoner Ave in Shreveport LA
The object of life is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body, but rather to come screaching in to the grave sidelong in a beatup wreck of a body, loudly proclaiming "WOW What a ride!"

In a nearby town, Hayward, there's a exit off the freeway to a street named "A Street" (I believe there's a B street, C street, etc. as well). Furthermore, that particular street goes to downtown Hayward. This means the sign on the freeway just reads, "A Street Downtown"... Seen a lot of people double take on that one. heh.
