Let's give a "peaceful" name to the new Blimp!
There is a contest to name the new Goodyear Blimp. Among the choices is "Spirit of Peace".. Maybe we can give this little bit of notice to the skies over all those football games!

1. I submitted
"Impeach, Indict, Imprison." (I suspect that may not make the top ten.)

I like that one too, but it wasn't on the list.

American Dream
Freedom
Liberty
Patriot
Patriot of Peace
Pride of America
Spirit of Endurance
Spirit of Ingenuity
Spirit of Innovation
The Spirit of Peace

10. The text box is for your email address
The opportunity to submit suggestions ended quite a while ago - the list of finalists was drawn from the suggestions made from the public.

4. Bad names for the new blimp:
Shenendoah
Akron
Macon
(DU aviation enthusiasts will get the joke...)

Personally, I like annabanana's idea. "Spirit of Peace" has a nice ring to it.:thumbsup:

7. Deffinitely "Spirit of Peace!"

But only because "The John Frankenheimer" and "Black Sunday" weren't options.

8. They should keep N2A
That evokes the true spirit of blimpiness far better than any of those syrupy concoctions.
