One ended up with 3rd degree burns because he decided it'd be a good idea to try to singe the hair off his balls by dousing his genitals in kerosene and setting it on fire.

Too bad it's not one side of his face, then he can legally give himself the middle name "Wilson". I just learned there's a baby out there named "Bostyn". How could you ruin an awesome name like "Boston"?

Plan Z posted:Anyone from Pennsylvania knows the prevalence of Boob and Butt as last names here (Yes there are people that go by Dick Butt), and how magical some of the combinations can be. My personal favorite would be Taryn Butts. She was a really good person, but man, that name. I've seen people with the last name Rape. Uh, is it pronounced weird or something?

I wonder if actress Ruth Negga (half Irish, half Ethiopian, face like an angel) ever had any problems with people mispronouncing her name.sweeperbravo posted:I guess it's Kelsey/Kelly + Evelyn, but kelev in Hebrew means dog Dogs came from wolves, so her name must mean "graceful wolf" or something in her native Elven language.

During the Texas Holdem poker mania that swept the nation in the early 2000s I used to frequent an Indian Casino that had a dealer who wore a name badge that read "Happy". I eventually became friendly enough with him that I asked if Happy was his real name. Turns out it wasn't. His real name was Phuc. Pronounced like you might imagine. Management had made him the name tag Happy to prevent awkward conversation. Also, I went to highschool with a guy named My Mom. Me and my chucklehead friends would prank call the dude endlessly. "Hey is my mom there? Mom, I need a ride to the mall". We were a bunch of unfunny assholes.

This doesn't surprise me. Floyd County is Northern Georgia and Northern Georgia is a blighted land filled with crazy people. The Adult Swim show "Squidbillies" is basically a documentary.

In 2013, she navigated a gauntlet of legal processes in a failed attempt to have a man buried according to what she said were the man’s wishes. Also, crazy lady is 81.

I went to school with a girl named Sparkle Coker. In my parents' hometown, there was a guy named Clay Pots who owned a barbecue restaurant named after himself. Apparently quite a few people saw the CLAY POTS sign and came in looking to buy pottery. My mom once had a student named Gene Pool. Someone I know on another internet forum sees a physician named Dr. Hu. Finally, in my job, I see a lot of names from the Crow nation in Montana. The Crow were one of the tribes unfortunately saddled with a lot of awkwardly translated surnames. One I've seen a few times is Holy Elk Face (I always mentally add "Batman!"). There's also Birdinground, Gun Shows, Hugs, Pretty on Top, and Not Afraid. But the best one I saw was a married couple from Custer's times. Her name was Kills in the Night and his name was Crazy Sister-in-Law. Those were their full names. (I think Kills in the Night is still used as a surname now. Not sure about Crazy Sister-in-Law.)

About twenty years ago I was at school with a kid named Keltie. His mum cut his hair like Barry Manilow. Oh and at work I saw a file for a set of twins named Sennamon and Kayenne: adorable.
