A Product of Good Breeding

I recently stumbled across the following:
Washington Post Style Invitational Contest Week 604
and thought it would be great fun to try my hand at the word play challenge.

The basic gist of the contest was to choose any two names from the list of potential Kentucky Derby contenders and come up with a clever name for their offspring.

I emailed in the following:

Call the Marines X Commodity Trader = Semper Finance

Exit Left X Straight Line = SobrietyCheckpoint

Noble Causeway X In Excelsis = Highway to Heaven

Tetrahedron X High Fly = Quadratic Elation

Biloxi Palace X Going Wild = Mississippi Mayhem

What's Up Dude X Cadillac Cruiser = DudeWhere'sMyCar

Storm Surge X Roman Ruler = Hail Caesar

Sort It Out X War Plan = Divide and Conquer

The contest ended yesterday and the winners will be published in a couple of weeks (on the Sunday before the Kentucky Derby, I believe). While it would be cool to even get an honorable mention, really I just did it as an exercise of my own partially atrophied creative muscle. If I work really hard, maybe, just maybe, I can revive it and become a creative powerhouse!
