Quick Thread: Guffey Park.
My company name for my documentaries is BOVINE IGNITION SYSTEMS, a band name my pal and I came up with in High School. (The Band's page is cow.net/bis and has all our music.) When I made documentaries and needed a company, I named it that.

But in the running was GUFFEY PARK, which is a park in Cambridge, Massachusetts, close to where I lived for a few years, and which is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. It has a sign on it that says GUFFEY PARK and everything. I'd go by it every time I drew Caricatures. Look:
Now, this park actually has a historical reason for this: It was named for two local residents because it was at the center of a fight where a local business tried to expand over the location. So, at this point, it was named a park out of pure spite. It used to have a sign.
In a less-connected world, few people know/knew the reason it was called Guffey Park, so for those of us who just knew it as a 50-square-foot "Park", it represents how silly things can be, and if you know of the fight behind it, it represents how stupid fights can get.
Anyway, all hail Guffey Park.
