Plowadise
This one's been hanging around in my queue for a while, and some might say it's a bit outdated, as it involves the names of snowplows. Anyone who thinks it's the wrong season, however, is obviously not familiar with Michigan.
Now, some of these are kind of plain, like Blue Water Express and Snow Captain. And some I'm sure you could have thought of yourself. But there were a few that had me howling. And others that are questionable at best.
Auntie Arctica
Okay, look, this is a prime example of unnecessary complication. Maybe it's a Michigan thing (confession: it's one of only three stats I haven't actually been to). But why not simply Aunt Arctica? No one actually pronounces it Ont anymore, so Aunt Arctica is a great pun.
Baby Snowda
One of many Star Wars-themed names. When a juvenile of Yoda's species (whatever that is) was introduced in The Mandalorian as a transparent attempt to get people talking about the show on social media -- hey look it's a cute thing with big eyes; we've never seen that from Disney before -- his name was unknown at first, so everyone started calling him Baby Yoda.
But, as his actual name is Grogu, why not Snowgu?
Heikki Lunta
Someone's gonna have to explain this one to me.
Sleetwood Mac
Remember the other day I was talking about making up band names? Yeah.
The Big LePlowski
Obviously, this one is one of my favorites.
Snowbegone Kenobi
This Star Wars reference is really quite clever.
Yooper Scooper
Clever, funny, but I'm pretty sure it reflects how Lower Michigan actually feels about the Upper Peninsula.
Blade Runner
Finally, a movie reference that doesn't require a pun.
S'no Problem
It's Snow Problem
...really?
Plowthagorean Theorem
This one can only move on the diagonal, I assume.
Sir Plows-A-Lot
Okay, look, riffs on Lancelot are lamer than puns about the seventh planet from the sun. Stop it.
Snowcrusher
What? No Snowpiercer?
The Kraken
No, no, he lives in Minnesota, not Michigan.
Dolly Plowton
Please tell me that one has bigger headlights than the others.
Lake Scooperior
I gotta give 'em props for this one.
Saul T. Streets
Groan.
And finally, the most Michigan possible name for a snowplow:
Still Shorts Weather
There are a lot more at the link, so go take a look. |
