There's a former Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador named Randy Ball.
A friend met a woman in the Southern US named Happy Boozer.
Weird names from my family: Expedite Howard, and Prime Power (one of my great-grandfathers).
My other great-grandfather was Prosper Ozon, but I think Prosper isn't intensely unusual in France. What's weird is I once found a self-published novel online where the main character's name was Prosper Ozone.
My Hungarian grandfather's uncle was Árpád. In Hebrew, Arpad means vampire (not the same pronunciation, and yet). It still brings me joy.
Didn't ita have a relative whose last name was Moyston-Cummings? Sometimes I still laugh about that.
My grandfather's family had a habit of naming the boys after a city near where they were born- Uncle Reno is the main one I can remember. When my grandpa was born, they lived in a logging camp up by Weed. He was officially Guido, but everyone called him Weed and when he was 18 he legally changed it.
Misheard npr spot of the day (hell, possibly the month): all male pelvic thunder.
(celtic. I don't know. It was early.)
At least this Monday morning is better for us than for the white supremacist crowd. Seriously, I find it somewhat encouraging that at least they might be starting to be ashamed/afraid to show their faces in public.
I feel certain that there is something calling itself Pelvic Thunder out there. I'm not going to google it, though.
TCG was offered the job today! So I release the job~ma and take any negotiating~ma you have.
Congrats to the whole teacup household!
