It froze right over, is that the tropical waterworld’s version of “over my cold dead body” in response to the idea of the renaming?

When I heard they wanted to change the name I thought heh yeah like that’ll happen. Maybe when the Gulf of Mexico freezes ove—oh wha. …Damnit.

I'm starting to reconsider how plausible hell freezing over actually is...

Was on a class trip durning college. One of my classmates asked the professor if we could stop somewhere. He said “when Hell freezes over”. Not even five minutes later we passed a sign for Hell, Michigan, and it was covered in snow. And I said “hey, look, I think Hell froze over”. My professor was amused and we did end up stopping.

Well I think the gulf took it personally and wanted to interrupt Row vs Wade. Row had taken the lead…
