I went to school with a Mike Hunt. Marching band rookie initiation prank for girls was to make them stand on the 50 yard line and yell "Has anybody seen Mike Hunt?" I was one of the few who was smart enough to put a really long pause between the names, a rarity for me, as I usually don't catch onto such things until it's way too late.
Re pizza: Do Aussies put whole-kernel sweetcorn on pizza, or is that strictly a UK thing? I'm normally very adventurous as to what I'll eat on a pizza--bring on your white pizza with goat cheese, spinach, and roasted garlic, for example--but corn/maize just tastes weird.

Ooh, I had that in Mexico and it was
good.
whole-kernel sweetcorn on pizza
There was a gourmet pizza place in Vancouver who had a pizza with sweet corn on it. It was called "Cornan the Barbarian".

In Academic Decathlon my senior year (I think), the theme was the global economy, and in a section on how international companies had to adapt to different tastes, they gave corn on pizza as an example of Japanese tastes.
The last doctor I saw was named H. Richard Wiener. Whatever H. stood for must have been pretty terrible to risk being called Dick.

It's not a common thing; indeed I don't recall ever having seen it.
PS: re names, I did once know of one guy (Vietnamese) whose mother's name was Dang My Dung.
Humongo? Horse? Hung?
Hugo would have been close enough. Unless he really was well hung and could answer the question: Hugo Weiner? with "Ya damn betcha".
In Houston by the way there was (and for all I know still is) a motorcycle bar owned by a fellow name Richard Head. It is called "Dickhead's" and is the site of an occasional murder.
You did Academic Decathlon too, Hil? Sister!
I had corn on pizza in the Dominican Republic--at a Pizza Hut. It was quite random (no, it was not my choice of restaurants or toppings)
I knew a guy named Peter Wacker. Sweetheart, but very scarred by the name.
Is now the time to tell the "Penis Van Lesbian" joke? (Upshot: he changed his name and is now successfully Dick Van Dyke.)
I like beets and I like fried eggs in moderation and I really like hamburgers and I can't imagine why one would put all three into the same sandwich. Is hamburger not exciting enough? Are you disrespecting my cheese, condiments, lettuce, tomato, mushrooms and possible bacon, which are already available as hamburger accessories?
Also. Boiled beets are just fine, although they turn your insides fuchsia, but pickled beets are gross.
