I don't like to brag Derek, but, yes, they did name this island after
me. Back in June of 1970 I presented a paper at the Univ. of
Cincinnati on the effects of the Ohio River Valley on the consistency,
frequency, and volume of BMs (bowel movements). After presenting this
paper, the good citizens of Cincinnati demanded that local officials
name an island after me. At that point Kings Island was born. I
attended the ribbon cutting ceremony later that year. Instead of a
ribbon, several local politicians formed a line, squatted down, and
allowed a BM (bowel movement) to dangle from his/her bunghole. I was
fortunate enough to be allowed to walk down the line with a scissors
and snip each dangling BM (bowel movement) to officially dedicate
Kings Island. Reliving this wonderful day brings tears to my eyes and
BMs (bowel movements) to my brown starfish area!
