Fort Wayne Scratches Harry Baals Government Center

[fulano]

Neither baals nor Thunder Dome? Vengeance shall happen!

 

[A Raging Emo]

I genuinely read that as "Hair Balls".

 

[Scars Unseen]

It sucks that the government would dismiss this out of hand, but I think the citizens of Fort Wayne could still pull this off. It's just a matter of greasing a few palms.

If the people care thaat much about it it'll still happen. The mayor will want to get re-elected and doing what the people want is a good way to make sure that happens.
Personally if I lived there i'd run for mayor with my headline policy being to rename the building the Harry Baals' Building.
Just so the current mayor would fold on the issue when he realises the voters wanted it, then i'd quit the campaign.

So....the current mayor's wife maiden name is Kocks?

They should name it at her and the former mayor. It could be called The Kocks and Baals Administrative Building.

That's grade A, triple distilled epic right there.

You sir, are a genius. Very much supported

"Minnie Baals"

XD. This is genuis.

I Lol'd..What is this from, The Onion? Too good to be true.

 

[Animyr]

Those guys have no sense of humor.

 

[alandavidson]

1) Open voting to the public
2) Receive overwhelming votes for a single name
3) Ignore votes.

How very democratic.

Don't you love democracy?

 

[RelexCryo]

This story is awesome. Andy, please keep reporting stuff like this. People who think only videogame related stuff should be reported are wrong. Stuff like this helps me get through the day.

 

[Flauros]

They were elected to lead, not to read.

 

[Saelune]

Thats the kind of name that people should get a free pass if they decide to legally change it.

 

[SirCannonFodder]

So I'm guessing that the number three choice was the Butthead Memorial Building? (cookies if you get that)

No, that was the number one choice when they polled the elementary schools.

 

[Lyndraco]

Oh Fort Wayne, I would have loved to work in the Thunder Dome. I would have also loved trying to tell people to go to the Harry Baals building (said, of course, with a completely straight face). And then when people question you, you can give them a stern lecture about being immature, and laugh about it later. But you've dashed my hopes and dreams for now :-(

Also, they clearly are confused about how democracy works. Really, when they nixed the idea, who was being immature then?

"I knew we shouldn't have let the children name it"

The Simpson's?

 

[Asuka Soryu]

I'm guessing the name, "Alotta Fahjina's Goverment Center" would be out of the question?

XD. This is genuis.

And then there was his son, Shaggy Baals.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

That is the best headline ever.

Of all time.
