At least they have offense, with offensive-minded defenseman Brian Leetch leading the rus....[additional whispers] what the fuck? He's hurt, too? Jesus. Well, Pavel Bure [still more whispers] what? He has no knees? How can a guy have no knees? Oh, right. It's hockey.

So, basically, the Blueshirts are relying upon Eric "Eggshell Skulled Plaintiff" Lindros, Bobby "Freakishly Scary Head" Holik, and Mark "I Played Against Maurice Richard" Messier.

No worries, slave. They'll be dancing with the Cup at Scores again next Spring.

Thank you for the belly-laugh. So nice that I had to see it twice. Plus, quoting the entire post (especially if it ends up directly below your original post) is bound to piss off someone and possibly spark some real action here today.

You said you wouldn't out me to the fb for this. Bitch.

Something that pisses me off is that my fucking hairdresser has partied with the Cup and I haven't. I don't think he realizes that the only reason I stick with him is the conduit to hockey players (he cuts their hair). It's really paying off (not).

The one on the table screaming for hours pushing the baby out is in no condition to enforce her will at the critical juncture. At that point, with a cute little chalky kid squirming on your tummy, husband could say, let's name him Butterworth Ogden Osama bin Brazen and Mom will say "oh, what a beautiful name."

Enforce your will before this critical moment in time.

Note to all on the FB:

I am not currently pregnant. I have no plans to become pregnant anytime soon. I may never get pregnant again.

But Butterworth Ogden Osama bin Brazen IS a lovely name.

Anytime, my dear. Although I should note that I am actually a Rangers fan. I was just trying to provide slave with a bit of moral support.

Somehow, I never pictured you with a mullet.

And speaking of mullets, there was a band that practiced down the street from my old house called Camaro Hair. They rawked. They had a van that looked like the Mystery Machine, except that it said "Camaro Hair" instead.

The FCC rejected complaints from the Parents Television Council and more than 200 people, most of them associated with the council, who accused dozens of television stations of violating restrictions on obscene broadcasts by airing portions of the awards program last January.

The complaints objected to Bono's uttering the phrase "this is really, really, f------ brilliant."

The FCC, using the F-word more often to explain its decision than Bono did on the air, said the word "may be crude and offensive, but, in the context presented here, did not describe sexual or excretory organs or activities." That distinction is a key test to measure whether a statement meets a federal standard for broadcast indecency.

David Solomon, chief of the FCC's enforcement bureau, said in the ruling that Bono used the vulgarity as an adjective or to emphasize an exclamation and that "the use of specific words, including expletives or other 'four-letter words' does not render material obscene."

First: since when can you use fuck to describe excretory organs?

Second: you can say fuck as an adjective or to emphasize and not get into trouble. WTF? I thought fuck was a no-no, period.

ha. Yes, it's a beautiful flowing mullet.

Actually, and I ain't even lying, styled correctly, my hair will look exactly like Martin Brodeur's. (picture him without receding hairline).

Given past discussions, this may be the unintentionally funny POTD. Or maybe it was intentional. In which case, good work.

I'd advise you to focus on the 9 months of carrying the kid without having adequate alcohol intake. There is a potential problem with focusing on birthpain as the reason for superior naming interest. An unexpected c-section with 3 days on morphine could leave you without hand on the issue.

Now, I cannot use this name for my own children because it has become not just common, but, frankly, trashy. It always reminds me of the simpsons episode when Cletus is calling the kids out of the shack: "Taylor, Sheridan, Dylan, Montgomery, etc"

Ah, but that trailer trash comes by such names legitimately and by long tradition. I believe most of those white trash surname names are the names of significant confederate officers, and naming one's children after the man under whom their father served is a long, longstanding tradition. There is a reason Beau ("Beaumont" "Beauregard") is a common southern name.

Yes, I know this practice would now result in "Schwartzkopf Jones," but hey.

I guess I don't get as worked up over people wanting their kids names to sound "waspy," any more than I do people wanting their kids names to sound biblical. Do we required ethnic-advertising in child naming now? What is a "legitimate" reason for picking a name? I only get annoyed by the cross-cultural pretention when the guy named "Lipschitz" wears his clan tartan discovered in Glasgow - and then only because (i) he got sadly ripped off by the crafty scots and (ii) he is advertising himself as a fool.

And I don't really mind "creative" names (barring the misspellings) until they get stupid for some objective reason. I am now related to marriage to a child named McKenzie Phillips, and that is just stupid.

BR(also had a teacher whose given legal name was "Candy Ball." Literally. She got married at 18)C

Major surgery instead? Hell, for that you should get to rename your husband!

I am talking about people who name their children for "exotic" names they hear on television shows and soap operas.

Edited to add: one of the Not Amusing traditions in Texas is naming a girl child after the father by adding "a" or "ette" to the end of the name. Like Michaela and Alana (pronounced Alan-a) and Johna and Johnette.
