I'm a Cat-4!
My wife has been keeping an eye on hurricane John in the Pacific, and informs me that I am a Category Four now. I don't know how I feel about my eponymous storm, but I had this idea a few days before I knew about it.
Let's create a national auction site for hurricane names. What do you buy the guy who has everything? Why, bid up his name (or his worst enemy's) on eyeBay! Unlike eBay, multiple people can bid on a single entry on eyeBay. Give the money to hurricane relief, it's all in good fun. A side benefit is that it gets the racial lobbies out. If you want Hurricane Shaniqua, Rep Waters, get out your Visa card.
Hurricane John, out!
