Mary the Directions Bitch

On Sunday, the wife and I went to watch the Shamrock Shuffle, an 8k race here in Chicago. 30,000 people ran the race, and it was really a pretty cool sight. We had a couple of friends that ran so we watched from the 1k mark for awhile and then watched at the finish line. Maybe next year we will run in it. 4.97 miles is just a really long damn way to run. Anyway, maybe more on that later.

The important part of the day is that after the race we drove up north to grab pizza with everyone at Piece. Even though we know how to get there, we decided to play with the buggy's navigation system. You just type in where you want to go, and it will give you directions. One of the options is to have a voice come on and actually tell you when your turn is coming up, how far to go, and all that stuff.

The voice is English. As in from the UK. Makes sense, since it is an English car.

Anyway, we need a name for the directions lady. I wanted to go with "The Directions Bitch", but that seemed too long. Wife proposed "Bridgett," but I vetoed that. We agreed to temporarily call the voice "Mary" (after Mary Poppins), but would be open to any suggestions.
