They say you can find your stripper name by combining the name of your first pet with the street you grew up on. Keeping that in mind, you may someday find yourself trying to figure out how to politely decline the awkward, compulsory advances of Miss Fluffy Lara Croft. As reported in the
Derby Telegraph, the hero of the
Tomb Raider series in one of eight potential names for two stretches of a road in the UK city Derby, which was the home of Core Design, the original studio behind Lara.
Surprisingly, Lara Croft is not our favorite option, as the idea of being badgered into buying Scruffy John Flamsteed a $13 drink is just too wonderful to imagine. Voting is currently being conducted via a poll on
Derby's official website.

My vote is for "Chesty Boulevard".
I think this gives future strippers a good starting foundation.
Ryan @ Dec 1st 2009 11:24AM
Cleavage Drive.
The Swedish Chief @ Dec 1st 2009 12:02PM
Juicy-Double Avenue.
What? She has a huge butt too!
Obie @ Dec 1st 2009 12:29PM
I heard that road has two giant speedbumps. :(
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith [ATDF Co-Founder] @ Dec 1st 2009 11:07AM
...okay?
I want Master Chief Avenue in Kirkland, Soap McTavish Boulevard by Infinity Ward, and Nathan Drake Lane in Santa Monica.
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith [ATDF Co-Founder] @ Dec 1st 2009 11:25AM
And I'm not really seeing 'Rex Pima Farms' as a stripper name...
The Swedish Chief @ Dec 1st 2009 12:09PM
What about Preston Marlowe Street in Stockholm? Would be awesome!
Ben @ Dec 1st 2009 1:30PM
yeah i don't think Batman Leybourne would work either.
GiggMan @ Dec 1st 2009 11:10AM
Cool that means my stripper name is Blackie Sycamore (TM)
Drew -- PS360: uphillbothways @ Dec 1st 2009 11:21AM
Mine's Killer Shady Oaks.
Sounds like something from a really bad horror film.
Or a really awesome horror film.
At any rate, as I recall it was a horror film.
Dirty @ Dec 1st 2009 11:28AM
Mine is Stinky Creedance.
The Swedish Chief @ Dec 1st 2009 12:04PM
Curry Lokatt here. Sounds kinda dull :/
WiNG [XBL&Steam: WiNGSPANTT] from lifeinagame.com @ Dec 1st 2009 12:16PM
I'm Midnight Newark, and I'm here to clean your drains or deliver a pizza or something.
uncle jesse @ Dec 1st 2009 12:28PM
Mine's Lizzy 81st Street...
Dr. Orpheus @ Dec 1st 2009 12:59PM
Sally E. Hobcaw. That sounds all sorts of wrong.
LegendaryRedass @ Dec 1st 2009 1:59PM
Puddles McClelland, or Pud for short.
Yatcho @ Dec 1st 2009 2:54PM
My name would be Blackie Wood.... too obvious.
Ryguy226 @ Dec 1st 2009 11:10AM
......*stares at cleavage*.....What?
If I was to have a stripper name, it would have been Smokey Mud Pond, which in itself screams a new VD, or at least one that Paris Hilton has already discovered.
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith [ATDF Co-Founder] @ Dec 1st 2009 11:32AM
So...how many of us gave that picture a longer glance than usual?
Carl @ Dec 1st 2009 11:12AM
Skamp Church green road?
Uhhh
Shagittarius @ Dec 1st 2009 11:14AM
I guess that would make my stripper name, "Spot N.E. 50th".
Thats pretty stupid.
Hydrophobicfish (PSN: HydrophobicFish) @ Dec 1st 2009 11:16AM
My stripper name is actually pretty good...
George Pierce.
Debesun @ Dec 1st 2009 11:18AM
"They say you can find your stripper name by combining the name of your first pet with the street you grew up on. Keeping that in mind, you may someday find yourself trying to figure out how to politely decline the awkward, compulsory advances of Miss Fluffy Lara Croft"
I doubt it wouldn't be as awkward (and little less polite in declining) if they were approached by someone called "Rat Queen" in my case...
CheeziePotato @ Dec 1st 2009 11:18AM
I never had a pet :(
CheeziePotato @ Dec 1st 2009 11:25AM
Why haven't you got banned yet?
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith [ATDF Co-Founder] @ Dec 1st 2009 11:26AM
He did. But he created a new account.
CheeziePotato @ Dec 1st 2009 11:29AM
I think he must be one of those trolls from that godawful website, 4chan.
Punkrawk Bbob @ Dec 1st 2009 11:34AM
4chan isn't a website, it's a forum.
and it isn't god awful, it's awesome.
CheeziePotato @ Dec 1st 2009 11:34AM
Aha I knew it.
uncle jesse @ Dec 1st 2009 12:29PM
@CheeziePotato: "I never had a pet :("
You mean you never had a dawg? Wassup?
Ryguy226 @ Dec 1st 2009 12:31PM
*trying to understand the garbage that wassup dawg wrote*............ wassup dawg, what you have just wrote is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this site is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Mr.ESC @ Dec 1st 2009 3:12PM
-Implying you 2 losers represent 4chan
-implying 4chan isn't an imageboard
-Implying 4chan population isn't diferent depending on the board you visit
-Implying isnt /b/ who does all the trolling and gives 4chan a bad reputation.
-Implying that most of /b/ good trolls aren't goons banned from somethingawful

ducttapeBigSexy (PSN&XBL: ducttape12) @ Dec 1st 2009 11:25AM
I'd totally become a snow plow driver in Derby just so I can say "I just plowed Lara Croft!"
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith [ATDF Co-Founder] @ Dec 1st 2009 11:26AM
...that was actually pretty funny.
Punkrawk Bbob @ Dec 1st 2009 11:35AM
Very appropriate avatar in that case.
The Swedish Chief @ Dec 1st 2009 12:26PM
GIGGITY!
TheCoats @ Dec 1st 2009 11:33AM
Spikey Main.....
....guess that works....
Goity @ Dec 1st 2009 11:34AM
Awesome. Lara Croft road is winning. I actually live in Derbyshire, so perhaps the county can become famous for this brilliant nomenclature.
Ryan @ Dec 1st 2009 11:39AM
Furr Birch.
Oh yeah.
James @ Dec 1st 2009 11:56AM
Does this road have two large hills? It doesn't seem fitting otherwise.
BlueXArmed @ Dec 1st 2009 11:57AM
Mine would be "Shadow Dundee"
I like it.
TrojanGuy @ Dec 1st 2009 11:58AM
Haha, why did I have a feeling that now this has hit our gamer community, Lara Croft Way would start whooping on the competition? Lara has 78% of the vote at the moment (211...the nearest competitor has 17).
contact @ Dec 1st 2009 12:10PM
I am assuming there are a pair of speed bumps on this road?
Kairo Dracona @ Dec 1st 2009 12:11PM
Smokey Williamson? wtf...
Dirty @ Dec 1st 2009 12:45PM
Well if Stripping doesn't workout you would have a great name for Jazz.
thedisagree @ Dec 1st 2009 12:25PM
mine is bob birchmere and that just sounds awkward
uncle jesse @ Dec 1st 2009 12:32PM
This is a little off topic, but I just bought Underworld for cheap and it's actually pretty good. I wasn't expecting much, but I'm really enjoying it so far. I guess buying it for next to nothing can also up the enjoyment factor a bit when the game isn't complete shit, but nevertheless, not bad!
Glenn @ Dec 1st 2009 12:41PM
Believe it or not - my first pet was a turtle named Spike and I grew up on Cox Ave.
Drew -- PS360: uphillbothways @ Dec 1st 2009 1:05PM
Spike Cox sounds bloody scary.
Glenn @ Dec 1st 2009 1:17PM
I know! I don't think a name like that would be too popular with the ladies I'd be working with.
