I don't know why, but the whole name change thing is quite intriguing to me.<BR/><BR/>Kiersten: Thanks for humoring me. No, seriously. Thank you.<BR/><BR/>Jamie: Maybe I'll write Fun with Machetes next.<BR/><BR/>Anne: Wow. One of my fellow classmates was John Jacob, leading us to sing that annoying song every five seconds or so, but nothing that bad.<BR/><BR/>KC: I loved She-ra, but that doesn't mean I would name my child after her.

That's all I've got to say.<BR/><BR/>Mariah: That's a great idea, but I think your hubby would need to enjoy lit as much as you do. The same kinds of lit, too. Slayer and I both loved Good Omens, so maybe we should have named the twins Agnes and Nutter.<BR/><BR/>Sherrie: SNARF.<BR/><BR/>Jameson: Yep. I've heard that one. I've even met twins who supposedly had that name.

The orthodontist looked up and said "And who are you?" She answered, "Ima Pig." Without missing a beat he replied, "I know you're a pig, but what's your name?" She looked like she wanted to cry and he realized that was her name. Of course, I was on laughing gas, so maybe it didn't quite happen that way...Sherrie Petersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11670339498152684137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2303232661644308222.post-44876140001876396692009-04-01T18:04:00.001-04:002009-04-01T18:04:00.001-04:00I would read it, based on the title.

Seriously. I used to wonder if she was conceived after a particularly rousing episode of the 80s He-Man spin-off cartoon, or if her mother just hoped that her daughter would embody the ideals of a badly animated sword-wielding heroine who wore slutty leather miniskirts and had 80s hair.K.C.
