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?

When I did van life for a while my hotspot was FBI Surveilled Van.

Albuquerque has a major street named Juan Tabo and every time I drove past I wondered who that was, after a dozen times I finally remembered to look it up when I got home and found out that it was just some non-noteworthy guy lost to time. Network became 'discount Juan Tabo lookalike'

Saw a similar net here: "FBI Surveillance Van". Fun fact: this is not in the US.
