Michael Fisk is a street fighting man. And the street he's fighting is named Dicks.
Fisk, who lives on Dicks Street in the Los Angeles suburb of West Hollywood, has gone to city hall to get the road's name changed -- saying that its slang meaning has made life difficult for homeowners.
"Since we moved in four years ago its just become such a hassle," Fisk said. "It's embarrassing. Something definitely needs to be changed. I realize that it's a man's name, but words change meaning, and this one has."
Dicks Street is in a neighborhood that fancies first names for its roads, with Keith and Norma among the choices.
Fisk, who collected signatures on a petition from more than half of the residents on Dicks Street, has so far been met with a lack of interest from city officials, who say that changing a street name is too much work.
The city council should accede to his request and rename it Cox Street.
What about Johnson street? Let's start all of the porn name posts.
West Hollywood has lots of sodomites.
Maybe he should consider moving. But not to Intercourse, PA.
Woody Lane?
Or Peter's Way????
The city council should accede to his request and rename it Cox Street.

One of the main arteries in Longmont, CO is Gay St. How'd you like it if an acquaintance told someone that you live on gay street? They might think it was a code...
Apparently one of the developer's employees was having fun with a permit application and the township fathers weren't paying attention.
if I contracted one of those homes only to find out months later what these idiots had named my street, I'd be pretty angry.
There's a Pealiquor Road in Maryland; actually an upscale residential area by local standards; some residents whined about the name (which has a history of hundreds of years) but they were shot down.
Or Scagsville, MD.
A story was that once in tsarist Russia a man requested [it had to be done through the very top - he had to petition the emperor] a change of his surname, which surname could be loosely translated as "seven derrieres". After proper interval he was granted another surname: "eight derrieres".
heh
I wonder if this Fisk dude ever shops at Dicks Sporting Goods?
