Love a good snow pun
I got all 4,500+ names people submitted for Arizona's newest snowplows; some are really bad.
The Arizona Department of Transportation added new snowplows to its arsenal and to make things fun they opened up submissions to the public to name them.
The department received more than 4,500 entries and already narrowed it down to a final 15 and you can vote on them right now, you can even pick your top three because ADOT is apparently pro-ranked choice voting.
Alice Scooper, Blizzard of AZ, Chilly Pepper, De-Ice, Ice Baby, Flake Forty-Eight, Frost Responder, Mt. Humpfreeze, Optimus Brine, Prickly Plow, Snokopelli, Snowguaro, Snowcotillo, Shovelin' Sunshine, The Plowdalorian and Yavapai Yeti
So since election news is so depressing, I figured something light was the right way to go as we head into Halloween Weekend, which isn’t an official holiday weekend, but should be.
Here are all of the entries and I’ll pick some standouts below:
Out of the final 15, here are my picks:
The Plowdalorian (inspired by The Mandalorian)
Yavapai Yeti (alliterations will always earn points from me)
Alice Scooper (like the headline states, I love a good pun and this was a very popular entry)
I buried the lede a bit to those of you who are like me so I will say now, yes there is a Plowy McPlowface1 and Snowy McSnowface entry, but sadly ADOT did not move those into the final 15 and I will be writing them an angry letter. Both of these get 10/10 rankings.
There were entries for “A Snowplow” as the name and just… why? 0/10 for lack of creativity
A Song of Plow and Salt- not bad 6.5/10
Arizona Shovel 1/10, but really I’m being generous.
Austin Plowers. Yes! 8/10
Baby Get Back (50 Feet). Clever but not really for a snowplow name 5/10
Barry Coldwater 8.5/10
Bow Chicka‐plow‐plow a little long but I like it 6.5/10
Clearopathtra 6/10
Fast and Flurryous/Fast and Furious: Snokyo Drift (nobody combined them) 7/10. 9.5/10 if combined.
I Only Have Ice for You. Adorable. Great song. 8.5/10
Kelly KaPlowski 8/10
Montezuma's Revenge. Gross. 2/10
Plowabunga (this was popular) 7/10
The Big Laplowski, this is just my opinion, man, but 9/10
ебать путина, which made the cut and translates from Russian to: “Fuck Putin.” 15/10.
To those who don’t understand the reference, feast your eyes on this all-time classic story.
