Town Without Pity
Sugar Land, Texas, is the home of Tom DeLay, and they actually let him live there. You’d think that alone would make them shameless.
As one of the most affluent, self-important, and Republican cities in Texas, they’ve been given a rare opportunity to finally be known for something better than the home of Tom DeLay.
A city in Texas has been offered $4.65 million to be renamed after a dating website. SugarDaddie.com, a website that links rich older men with younger women, is celebrating a decade of intergenerational matchmaking by trying to rebrand affluent Sugar Land, TX, as “SugarDaddie.com, U.S.A.” Mayor James A. Thompson politely declined the company’s initial offer of $500,000, leading them to return with a bumped-up bid.
So, Thompson is holding out for more money?
Word on my side of the Brazos River says that Sugar Land is holding out for LyingWhores.com, WhiteBread.us, or WeHaveBetterCarsThanYouDo.org
Thanks to TexasEllen for the heads up.
hahahahaha.
1“There ain’t no more cane on the Brazos” I didn’t see the For Sale sign, when drove by. Is it a private listing? I wonder what His Honors commission will be?
2Oh and by the way has Ted Cruz denied committing unnatural acts with _________ . Can he prove he hasn’t?
I certainly hope SugarDaddie’s CEO gets rejected over and over again. Seems appropriate. More money is not always an acceptable response!
I’m sorry, I have negative reactions to the turn “sugar daddy” and would dread thinking that there would be a whole bunch of areas renamed to SugarDaddie park and such.
3Granted, I’ve not lived in Texas in a while, but whenever I hear the words Sugar Land, two things come to mind – Dominos sugar and SUGARLAND PRISON FARM.
4So sorry, IMPERIAL SUGAR — sounds kind of odious doesn’t it?
5This fits with the whole “Imperial” PRISON FARM:

6Well, you have to admit…
Sugar Daddies Skeeters…….
Has a certain ring to it……:>)
7I was going to make a comment about the white bread thing, since my wonderful neighborhood, Brazos Landing IV, off Commonwealth (in the Clements zone) was mostly Asian, only 3 of the 32 houses with white bread. But then I remembered we were outside of the city limits, which jog unnaturally around Brazos Landing and Avalon subdivisions. You can leave it in!
8I’ll change my name for $4.65 million. Heck, people change their names for that kind of cash all the time, only I won’t have to sleep with, marry, then divorce anybody.
9It would be very much in keeping with the Rethuglican spirit of “free enterprise” to sell the name of such a Rethuglican community. And of course, .1% of the populace would get any money from it…
10I’m In, daChipster!
11Then, I can change my name from the one I got by sleeping with, marrying, then divorcing him!!!
(The $$ thing fell apart too!!!)
Wait a minute, daChipster ~ so you didn’t adopt the Chip & Dale name? As any woman my age won’t admit, there’s absolutely NO free lunch, even for a name change. Just watched “Frank & Robot” & frankly, Robot would do everything I need done just fine.
12Anyone remember what Hot Springs, NM got for agreeing to rename themselves Truth Or Consequences, NM? Nothing except some questionable publicity.
I giggle every time I drive by there. Stopped once and found the locals to be pretty defensive about the issue. 😀
On the other hand, Sugarland already had a bad rep, so how much worse could it be?
13fenway fran! Brazos Landing and Avalon were able to get left out of Sugar Land, yet Rosenberg is appropriating our little rural two streets? Now I hate Rosenberg (or at least its city government) even more. I would have sworn that wasn’t possible.
14I suppose the City Council wouldn’t get any of that money if they changed the name to Geezers and Sluts.
