Some highly-skilled, intelligent, dexterous men grow up to be doctors, and have hamsters named after them.
Some knuckle-dragging, barely-civil, abusive bastards grow up to be knuckle-dragging, barely-civil, abusive bastards, and have a town named after them (and a song, and a statue).
Luckily for those of us without the prerequisite skills (or mass) to be a head-basher, we do not have to toss a crate full of money out of an aircraft to get a town named after us… maybe just a little shoe-box-full:
Quantum Mechanix (QMx) is sponsoring the “Name the Crappy Town Where You’re a Hero” charity auction. Starting on April 20th, 50 town names will be auctioned via eBay with all proceeds supporting Equality Now. If you win an auction, your name will be submitted, and pending studio approval, will be used in the upcoming official Atlas of the ‘Verse, Volume One: The Trader’s Guild Guide to the New Canaan Run made by our favorite mild-manner graphic designer, Ben Mund.
There are, of course, a few rules, and bidding appears to start at $50 a name, but it certainly goes to a good cause.
Hera could probably use a place called “Stitch”…. Or maybe “Browningston”.
