Keukasmallies Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 I don't want to vote for their crappy names, I want to submit a name for consideration. Obama is my selection. He floats through space, has been lost for a seriously long period of time, is small in comparison to the rest of the world's leaders, and he has no apparent purpose outside of his own interest. Those characteristics seem to me to fit a drifting planet to a "T."
