The Game of the Name

Recently eaten: cinnamon raisin bagel, turkey, havarti
Recent annoyance: that time when you might still be drunk but you're not yet hungover...it's the waiting that kills me

In recent months, there has been a great deal of media surrounding celebrity babies. Aside from the fact that they are either genetically engineered, or cleverly disguised animatronic robots, the public is fascinated by all those weird-ass names. Apple, Maddox, Barron, Suri...give me a break. I need only look to my email inbox for some quality original names. For example, in today's bunch:

  • Evisceration Aiken
  • Lolita Squaddle
  • Inbounds K. Worshipful
  • Viriato Carpenter
  • Fidel Farris
  • Erections H. Hypos
You have to give them credit, they do represent or try to represent a wide range of cultures and languages and erectile disorders. Yes, it's all a rich tapestry.
