Last night I stumbled on the greatest web page I’ve seen all year: the Michigan Department of Transportation’s “Snowplow Names” page! Yes, apparently in the Great Lakes State they officially name their snowplows (and publish it for the world).
This screenshot really doesn’t do the list justice, because it goes on for hundreds more. Some of my favorites:
- Snowbegone Kenobi
- Plowasaurus Rex
- Truck Norris
- Darth Blader
- Edgar Allen Snow
- Gordie Plow
- Jon Bon Snowi
- Pillsbury Plowboy
Brilliant! If only I had more machinery around the house in need of names… I mean, we already have Nebula and Ruby, and our jet skis are named Trixie and Lil’ Pepe… and everyone tells us we need to get a plow for our driveway…
