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)?
Allen (talk) 22:56, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
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!
