I'm thinking of renaming my car "Gecko" now that the runflats have been replaced By Azenis

Why not compete the MINI with SpiderMan and see who sticks better?

Ralph: Fun toys are fun!
Teacher: Well-said, Ralph, but we're trying to come up with a name for a toy.
Janey: Mrs. Fun?
Teacher: Not bad.
Ralph: Fun?
Teacher: Ralph, there are no right or wrong answers, but if you don't pipe
down, I'm giving you an F.
Ralph: The before-teacher yelled at me, too.
Teacher: No one's yelling; we're just brainstorming names. Lisa, any ideas?
Lisa: [puts down book] Oh, a name with fun? Fungus, Funzo, Attila the Fun.
Teacher: [accusing] Lisa, are you doing math?!
Lisa: [nervous] Uh, just a few Venn diagrams.
Ralph: There's more under her chair!
