Ah the humble service set identifier! It seems to have grown from a simple way for access points to identify themselves to potential clients to a little public bulletin board for airing one's grievances toward noisy neighbors or showcasing one's wit.

What notable SSIDs have you run into out in the wild or created yourself?

Alot of networks around here, the fbi van pops up from time to time, and then 15 generic modem routers and in the middle of that list is "one of many".

One of my neighbors is The_Booty_Warrior. My hypothesis is that's the pear-shaped Army chick that lives across the street, but it might be the balding middle aged family man two doors down.
