Name the aerial tram cars?

tramcar.jpg

Commissioner Sam is giving us till the end of the month to name the new aerial tram cars, which are due to start tramming away any day now. Note, if they are named Lewis and Clark I'm gonna gag. The aerial tram is the most important structure to go up in Portland since Big Pink in terms of it being a lightning rod of civic symbolism and it's relationship to the kind of city that Portland is becoming should not be underestimated.

Here are some not so serious ideas:

Peanut butter & Jelly
Paige & Plant
Bud & Vera
Ned & Homer
Necessary & Evil
Luke & Laura
Sue Ellen & J.R
Yin & Yang
John and Kristy

My absolute worst idea = Enterprise & Galactica (Millennium Falcon just doesn't work)

You can email Sam Adams with your ideas here and have until 5:00 PM November 30th.

I like your list of names. I'm pulling for Jack and Jill.
