Wow - this one came at me from left field. From April 16th New Yorker Magazine; "The British Invasion," about boys and girls going wild in the new party hotspot, Porec, Croatia.
In a paragraph citing "Istria as an ecological and healthy tourist destination," a local tourism employee was questioned about the thousand-strong package tour group coming his way. He was not a fan of young drunken hordes no matter how much moola they brought into his country. His name? Igor Beakovic.
I read it, of course, as Igor Beaver, which struck me as ironic considering his un-eager approach to mass tourism.
