Actually, I was complimenting you on your caricaturization of him, incorrect or not.

I note that he did, however, ask kafka-ette if she would like some guacamole. Having learned just this week from you that guacamole is a euphemism for semen, now I hate him. :smack:

Huh? : "One of the difficulties for some couples that are contemplating marriages, particularly low-income couples, they may not be aware of services that may be available to them,'' Horn said.

What "services" are these? A priest or JoP? Are there actually people who are unaware of the concept of marriage, at least in the abstract?

Are there services that are somehow available only if a couple is married? Like marital counselling and protection of battered spouses, that undoubtedly will be necessary after two months of things not working out.

I second the vote for bacon. I feel a little bad because pigs're pretty smart, but then, if they were that smart they wouldn't've let us domesticate them so we could eat them so easily.

Lisa: No I can't! I can't eat any of them!
Homer: Wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute. Lisa honey, are you saying you're *never* going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad! Those all come from the same animal!
Homer: [Chuckles] Yeah, right Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.

[Edited to add:] Here's a link to the SSA's database of baby names. Unfortunately it goes back only 12 years (which I think is when people had to get an SSN for a child when born), but one can get the most popular names for each year, as well as look at the popularlity of a given name over the entire period.

its pretty amazing how many babies born last year are going to have to go through life with misspelled names. i wonder what percentage of them were cases where the parents were trying to be different and what percentage were that the parents actually thought that was how the name was spelled. for example 344 girls born last year were named "jackeline."

also 333 parents who probably should not have been allowed to reproduce named their daughters "lizette" last year. damn, they are going to get teased mercilessly in junior high school with a name like that.

My guess is the salt. I do not eat of the pig, but my understanding is a lot of the cured porcine meats are very salty.

YMMV

Or, in the words of Marge Simpson, "You might say the secret ingredient is..... SALT!"

I would agree, except for the 333rd parent. You shouldn't put any restrictions on someone's ability to reproduce when they can do it all by themselves.

I think that, for their own reputations in a fairly hetero-centric world, they should avoid forming all-boys clubs as much as possible.

okay timmy. it was 333 sets of parents.

interestingly enough, last year 666 baby boys were named hugo. i wonder how many of them got locked in the attic for being the evil siamese twin? but at least it wasn't 666 baby boys named lucifer!!!

incidentially, the name lucifer did not make the top 1000 at any point in the last 12 years.

I have spent my entire life with a "misspelled" name. Have heard conflicting versions of the story from each parent. Mom says it was all the drugs they gave her at childbirth, Dad claims it's spelled the same way as a B-movie starlet who caught his eye sometime shortly before I was born.

Either way, I have had to endure the aggravation of spelling my name over and over again for people. I used to think it was a pain in the ass. Now, I note that whether or not someone spells my name correctly says something about that person's attention to detail. Now I kind of like the "misspelling" and sometimes I like to make people feel really, really stupid for not paying attention.

Adam Corolla did a really funny Love Line riff about people who pick common-sounding names and then find "creative" spellings for them, like "Alexzander" (No. 982) or "Jaxson" (No. 851) or "Keven" (No. 749).

He said they're basically condemning their child to a life in which their first interaction with every new person they meet will be an argument.

Maybe that's why the MulletMan is Angry.
