Bako or no Bako?

I am fascinated by the reactions (and in some cases emotions) I am hearing regarding the term “Bako.” I don’t understand why it seems so unflattering. I’ve heard people call my town Bakerstucky. Bako seems pretty harmless to me. Nevertheless, I hate to think I am offending or angering anyone by saying it, so I need some feedback here. Who hates “Bako” and who doesn’t? Let's resolve this once and for all in a civilized manner.

p.s. I’m afraid I had to delete Elvisload’s comments because he used the F word too many times, and I strive to keep this a family site. Sort of like Disneyland. Suffice it to say he, called me a fat pig and questioned WHY he would ever want to read my archives. I find the fact that he would try to insult me (or anyone) by calling me a “fat pig” hilarious and the only answer I can give him is – for the same reason you’re reading this blog in the first place. Duh.
