Been there. Is that the one where a skinny, pasty white guy is giving a blowie to Karl Marx? 'Cause I gotta say, even though art may take some liberties, I don't think that's appropriate for public display.

On a more serious note, how's things with your folks? Ain't seen 'em since their 50th celebration.

They're good. Busy would be an understatement

...I still recall taking a good while to process a grocery store clerk's 'Krystle' name tag...

you could not understand Krystle?

This was about 25 years ago, and I was in my 20s and single, and thus had not been exposed to any baby name silliness.

My high school was about as white bread as it gets, and I don't recall anyone having strangely spelled names. The closest we had to exotic were the two literal Vietnamese refugee brothers, Minh and Sinh (aka Noel, because he was born on Christmas.)

Over the years:
My sister went thru school with a guy named Richard Head. Of course, everyone called him Dick.
My mom worked with a guy named Dick Ball.
My dad worked with a girl named Mary Christmas.
Knew a couple of girls named Penny Lane & Robin Hood
Have a niece named Noelle. Her name is an oxymoron when you think about it.

And if Richard had attended A&M and joined the corps he would have been Fish Head.

They paid for their wars with your tax dollars and also with your untaxed dollars. Inflation is theft.

Went to high school with an Aswipe Johnson. His mother was French and it was pronounced "Oz-wee-pay" but nobody ever got it right. He would get so frustrated.

Guys, none of you went to school with Aswipe, Lemonjello, Orangejello, Abcde, La-a, etc.
we've all heard these urban legends for decades. Just stop.

Dated a gal in High School whose younger brother was named Whizzer. Not a nickname-actual first name. We live in Colorado, and his dad was older, and had known Byron 'Whizzer' White, Supreme court justice, and player at the University of Colorado. Kid embraced it and made it work.

I actually did know a kid named Michael Hunt when I worked at Scout camp, many decades ago.

He was very insistent on using his full, proper first name. "Michael will be fine, thanks."

I went to high school with a guy named Ynobe....now spell it backwards

He was executed in Huntsville after raping and murdering and Aggie and was later connected to at least one more murder.

He was booked into a JAIL for having window tint that was too dark?! Is that what that booking code means? You have got to be kidding me

ETA: saw someone else post the full code and that's one of the things it could mean: his window tinting was too dark.

Why would that be an offense worth being taking to jail?! That's dumb.


They did us all a favor because there's absolutely no chance someone named pimptereus hasn't committed numerous felonies.

Not from Oklahoma or Lake Jackson that I knew of. Scout camp in question (Carl F. Wente Scout Reservation) is in northern California. A few miles outside of Willits, the final resting place of Seabiscuit.
