Zed, as I understand it, is a common name in redneck territory.
Hmmm. I come from a long line of rednecks, and I've never heard of it as a redneck name. Or a name at all, really, Pulp Fiction notwithstanding. (I figured it was just a weird Movie Thing, like naming someone Uncle Void. And I have a friend with an Uncle Void, so that wasn't a non sequitur.)
It is not a common name in Britain (or Australia), where it is used to refer to a letter.
I knew that; I guess I didn't clarify that in my last post. I didn't think it was a name at all, whereas I've heard the word used in England (though to designate the letter Z).
To me, Zed is a mechanic who owns a small auto repair shop in a small town or rural area.
I have no idea how that association got into my brain.
I had forgotten about the "Z = Zed" thing until it was explained.

Especially since 27 has, like, no cool numerical relations. 'cept for being three cubed.
Jeez. That's like saying Carl Douglas was an unknown musician 'cept for "Kung Fu Fighting".

I'm not crazy about thread titles that need to be explained, but that's me.
Not just you, anyway.
That's like saying Carl Douglas was an unknown musician 'cept for "Kung Fu Fighting".
And for me, that is true.
Jeez. That's like saying Carl Douglas was an unknown musician 'cept for "Kung Fu Fighting".
Oh yeah, that too. I was way sad to turn 28.
