Oh Be Joyful Creek

Well, Ed Hansen wanted a name for the rapid in the picture above ('Shotgunblast, photo # 1508). I asked the crowds at rec.boats.paddle and at Boater Talk to 'Name that Rapid!' Everyone's got an opinion. Read on!

From RBP:

Last Shot

Flush lever

Thundering Tower

Amen

Last Dance

Oh Be Grateful

Had to Go

Chiropractor Falls

from BT (http://boatertalk.com/forum/BoaterTalk/147717):

Hallelujah

Praise God

Rise up

Gonna Fly Now

Nirvana

Hey you get off of my cloud

Come Down

Last Drop

ER

Don't Worry, Be Happy

Ode to Joy

Hands to Heaven

White Angel

Angel Falls

Smirk

Angel Hair

Angel Hair Pasta

White Chocolate Crunch

Orgasm--especially since it's the *last* rapid and the *climax* of Oh, Be Joyful Creek

Cosmic Debris or

Zero The Hero and if I'd been on the run with them maybe:

I Walk Alone

Got Cajones? or

BYOB (Bring Your Own Balls)

Men or Mice

Gummy Bear or

Cupcake or

Pansy or

Mary Poppins....or

Scared as Hell

Maybe Next Time

Mangled Human Remains

Drift and Die

Poseidon's Revenge

Kraken's Spatula

welcome climax

Steve

Reap the Rocket

Cleanin' House

Homo-destructus.

But 'BigHelmet' sez:

'It has a name many already know, 'The last rapid on Oh-Be.''

Me, I kinda like the ones like Ode to Joy and Amen. And I like 'Cosmic Debris' for the wood-choked rapid (# 1506); Jesse Kodadek suggests 'dumber 'n shit' or 'big stiff woody' for that one.

The decision on the rapids' names will doubtless be up to those who run the crick.
