Smile Name the arena

Since Paul Allen announced he is willing to sell the corporate naming rights to the Rose Garden in Portland (where the Blazers play), the Oregonian newspaper's humor column, The Edge, is holding a contest to come up with the funniest name.

Their examples are:

Victoria's Secret Garden
American Standard Toilet Bowl
Hasbro Hungry Hungry Hippodrome

I submitted:

In-And-Out House
SC Johnson Off Center
and my personal favorite, Pepto-Bismol Di-arena

If you want to send any in, email them to:

Be sure to include your name, email address and city/state of residence.

The winner receives an Edge hat. Whoopie.

Also, be sure to post your submissions here so we can make fun of you.

I was just listening to a financial talk show about Paul Allen and the Blazers. They are the least profitable NBA team in the league. The figure they lose every year was around 35million. (If I remember correctly.) The odd thing was, his investment has grown over the years by several hundred million in value.

Does this mean that you can bet on a loser and still win?
