Today started with the worst cup of coffee in human history. Not only was it too sweet, 3 seconds after a sip you are hit with the worst and most bitter aftertaste imaginable. After being tasted and rejected by everybody, the lonely coffee cup spent the entire day in the middle of the conference table, untouched, and an angry call to Starbucks returned a $5 gift card (to be used for real coffee, not garbage).
Naming rights is a fine art, one that must be handled delicately and intuitively at all times. When choosing to name a park, a building, and especially a school, one must consider all of the potential consequences of the chosen name. Sometimes this is hard, sometimes this is infinitely and incredulously easy. I'll let you decide which example this photo of the day falls under.
I am sure that Mr. Stalker was a very important man, who did great things for the community of Bedford, but there are some people that shouldn't name things after themselves. For example, no one wants to go to the Indiana University Stalker School of Law, but we are fine with the Maurer School of Law. It may have even helped to include Mr. Stalker's first name in this surely wonderful educational institution's call sign. David Stalker Elementary doesn't sound quite as bad. Nevertheless, the name has inspired an amazing collection of apparel: http://bit.ly/KoBwpQ. These kids will definitely be reading all summer, but instead of books, it will probably be protective orders.
