Re: Edits to Interstate 66
Mr. Isom is a retired Navy Captain, dedicated father, public servant, and extremely responsible van pool coordinator. As such he deserves to have the recognition of "Awesome Isom's 66." I request that you undo your recent edit. We can compromise back to "Isom's 66" if you prefer. slowmotony7 (talk) 14:50, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
 * slowmotony7,
 * Please forgive me. To be honest, I thought it was all a huge joke.
 * If this is a serious, real thing, could you provide a reference to the name?
 * Again, I would like to apologize.

 * No Google search results. I call it a hoax.  Imzadi 1979  →   22:07, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
 * As I told slowmotony7, I thought it sounded really weird. At first, I thought "Isom" was a made-up word.  Then, when he told me what it was (see above), I was still a little suspicious.
 * Thank you for clearing it up.
 * By the way, was "Mr. Isom" a real person? Was he a captain in the Navy (and all the other stuff mentioned above)?

 * He is really a retired Navy Captain, good van pool leader, public servant, and father. I am in his van pool, however it was a Tongue-in-cheek joke that we van pool riders were doing, and you were right to take it down :P  I rudely took advantage of the odd coincidence that you are a Navy sailor to incite a reaction that would hopefully lead to its remaining up for a longer period of time.  Thank you for your service, I hope you forgive my shenanigans.  Anthony (talk) 14:43, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Anthony,
 * That is understandable. I hope there are no hard feelings between us.  It is just that you should "think before you act" (I think that's how the saying goes).
 * I know it was in "good fun", but please don't do edits like these without proposing them on the article's talk page, first.
 * As for the last part, I, and Mr. Isom, serve(d) in the greatest navy that has ever existed. Oo-rah!
