name one for "the Gipper"

So there's a news story about a guy who doesn't approve of the name Mt. Diablo. You see, Mt. Diablo is the mountain that overlooks Contra Costa County, and on a clear day it's possible to see most of the counties of California, as well as Mt. Lassen up north. That's because Mt. Diablo stands alone, not surrounded by other peaks, but by foothills. But back to the story. The name "Mt. Diablo" has been used for over a hundred years, coming from the Spanish for "devil." No one is certain why the name Diablo was chosen, but there are several different legends, one involving Spanish soldiers unable to capture American Indians near the mountain, and another involving a Catholic priest seeing the devil atop the mountain. In any case, this guy doesn't approve of the connotation to the devil. His suggestion for a new name for the mountain? Mt. Ronald Reagan.

Which got me thinking: Mt. Ronald Reagan is kind of clumsy to say, and then it occurred to me, why not re-name it... Mt. Gipper? Catchy, isn't it? Good 'ol Mt. Gipper. Let's spend the weekend hiking around Mt. Gipper. Mt. Gipper State Park. Mt. Gipper Unified School District. Mt. Gipper High School. Gipper Valley College. As you can see, a lot of things are named after Mt. Diablo, so I guess they should all be renamed "Gipper" too.

Come to think of it, how about Guppy? Guppy sounds like Gipper! Mt. Guppy. Mt. Guppy State Park. Mt. Guppy Unified School District. Mt. Guppy High School. Guppy Valley College. Yeah, that's it, that's the ticket!
