Sticking up for my homeboys against the whole NBA (except for Mark Cuban)...[link]

Busy guy, Paul.

SLU Street Name Mnemonics

Saw an amusing bit on the Seattle Channel by John Keister (Almost Live) about Seattle neighborhood street name mnemonic devices wrought after the oft-cited downtown version "Jesus Christ Made Seattle Under Protest" for Jefferson, James, Cherry, Columbia, Marion, Madison, Spring, Seneca, University, Union, Pike, Pine.

Here's the South Lake Union adaptation they came up with: "Allen Decides What Transpires For a Million Years" for Aloha, Denny, Westlake, Terry, Fairview, Mercer, Yale.

Pretty fitting I'd say, but probably not all that helpful if you get lost since the streets are out of order.

Can you come up with a better one? Feel free to use different street names, or actually go in order east-west/north-south, etc. Add yours in the comments!
