Named 2

The daily prompt asks – If you could have something named after you, what would it be?

I answered this same question in a post 2 years ago titled Named and its one I’m going to have trouble topping today with an update. So, I’ll just have a little fun today.

I’ll start this list with Mike’s Snowball. Cherry with vanilla ice cream in the middle.

This one is from my past. A drink called Judges Juice – 151 Rum with a splash of cherry coke and 2 maraschino cherries.

After I finished styling my Miata, they could call it Mike’s Miata Madness

I’d like to have that Chuck Berry duck walk named after me. Call it the Hartley Hustle. Okay, Chuck Berry, some of you might not be familiar with so I’ll try to give another reference even though they are pretty dated now. The guitarist for AC/DC Angus Young does a pretty good imitation of it. I’ve been known to do the imitation on occasion.

I bet Alfred Nobel would give up his name on the Peace Prize if someone could bring about PEACE in this world. Jeez, when will we stop killing each other. Sorry, got a bit melancholy there, I was listening to Aerosmith Seasons of Wither.

Naming

If you could have something named after you, what would it be? – A bit of a pretentious question from the daily writing prompt, but I’ll go with the flow.

My first thought was if I were to name something after myself it would be a convertible sports car, but only if I were to design one. But I wouldn’t use my name, just my nickname. (The Doctor) because it would be a ride that cures what ails you.

Named

If you could have something named after you, what would it be? – Now there is a fun question from the Daily Writing prompt.

Off the top of my head, I’d like to have the Cherry Ice Cream Soda at Dumsers named Mike’s Favorite.

Maybe name my basement Mike’s Studio.

A comedy club named after me because I hope people will associate my name with laughter.

OK, I landed on my final answer – Maybe a small section of the Maryland beach against the Atlantic Ocean. Maybe a block somewhere in midtown OC. We will call it Mike’s Sands. Our sign will read – Go ahead, tread on me, lay on me, play on me, sit on me, tan on me, read on me, dance on me, laugh on me, smile on me, and repeat.
