An article about banned names in NZ, there's a full list at the bottom, along with how many times it's been attempted:

But not all outrageous names have been given the boot. Midnight Chardonnay, Number 16 Bus Shelter and Violence ARE ACTUAL PEOPLES NAMES NOW!

Imaging the conversation between Number 16 Bus Shelter's and their parents:

"Mommy, where did I come from?"
"Number 16 dear... Number 16. Good times."

Isn't the backslash/bracket thing a Freemen/Sovereign Citizen thing? Like 'John Dave Smith' and 'John (Dave) Smith' are different people, so if you claim to be one but your parking tickets are in the other, you don't have to pay them?

Which is all nonsense, but nonsense some people believe.

A few of my friends from college have been joking about DICK BLOOD FARMS and some guy they met at a bar one night who said he was DICK BLOOD from BLOOD FARMS and ranted drunkenly about pig spine dicks and stuff for literally years. I always figured they made it up. And then I saw a news article...

You humans bore me
I went to a big high school that needed two assistant principals, and they were Mr. Priddy and Mr. Gasaway. We made fun of them exactly as much as you'd expect 15 year olds to. With names like that, what makes education your top pick industry to go into? You can't possibly have fond memories of kids, right?

My elementary/junior high principal's name was Mr. Pottie. I'm 28 now, and it's still hilarious.

The vice principal at my middle school's name was Mr. Klane (or Claine, or something), and he also bore a passing physical resemblance to Hitler. We wrote a choreographed theme song based on the Mr. Clean jingle about his final solution for students.

It's mostly a lot of goose-stepping and salutes.

"Uh-oh, STUDENTS! Better disinfect!
Reach for the nazi; who else would you expect?

Mr. Klane, Mr. Klane, he can keep them all in line!
Mr. Klane, Mr. Klane, he can kill them all in time!
