Ladies and Gentlemen, we Present The U.S.V. Heyoka ("Evangelina") !

The competition was fierce.  The bribes were significant.  The riots were impressive.  But, in the end, Truth and Beauty prevailed, and we, These United States, chose the perfect name(s) from the hundreds submitted for our brand new old beautiful van.  From here on out, Said Van shall be known as…

The U.S.V. Heyoka


or, for short (in urgent/dangerous situations)

Evangelina


technically, these names were provided by THREE different entrants to the Contest.  they are a mutt.  like us.  like our van.  like our democracy.  (sigh).  as promised, these winners — Sarah L, Sarah M, and Michael — should they choose to come forward and present themselves, will EACH receive the following, in their “VanTasy Prize Pack!”…

** one (1) Very First Non-Essential Item to (Naturally) Fall off the New TUS Van
** one (1) Personalized Traveler-on-the-Go Mixtape by These United States
** one (1) Enlightening Road Haiku written by the TUS band member of your choice
** one (1) Meaningful Souvenir from the World’s Largest Truck Stop (Interstate 80, in Iowa)
** one (1) Full-Color Glossy Glamour Shot (Standing or Reclining) of These United States
** one (1) Super-Awesome Bragging Rights Forever to All of Your Awesome Friends U Have

(for full list of names submitted for Said Contest, please consult Comments here.)
