Jeez ... what ever happened to the day when we could laugh openly about the funny things in the world and the differences among us???

I didn't find the original post demeaning ... to someone from outside the area, the names of these streams taken literally are pretty funny. Anyone remember Edgar Martinez's Mariner's ad with the Latin Americans learning how to say "Geoducks in Pullayup"?

It's funny how it has become "demeaning" to have sports teams named "Braves" and "Redskins", but the same doesn't apply for "Yankees" or "Pirates". Do religous group throw a fit over the "Angels"?

On another note, for those wishing to know the meanings of the N. coast stream names, you can visit the page titled "More About the Rivers" in the WA section of the site.
