It's been over 10 years since MegaZone graced us with his presence.

searched online, and it looks like he may have reverted his name. he is 51/52 now and there's a news article about his stupid name where he says he might change it back because it would be weird to be a MegaZone in a nursing home.

guess it didn't work well anymore.

I met a refugee the other day whose name was misspelt by some bureaucrat at some point, and by the time he was literate enough to realise, he already had ID documents and bank accounts, etc., and having it changed wasn't really an option. So now he tells people from his country (where his name is quite common, and has a standardised English transliteration) that he uses the "Australian spelling."

I keep getting scam calls from "The Police Benevolent Association". A quick google search of the number comes up with a whole bunch of pages on the .tr (Turkiye) domain. That's not interesting, cool, or weird though. If anyone needs names for a roleplaying game character, just take a gander:

My call blocker lets me know these numbers called but intercepts them before they ring. If you get the same calls in the USA, it might be worth it to Google search the numbers. They all refer back to .tr domain pages and they all have insane names like that.

Someone pointed out in another thread that even though it was a baseball game, a bunch of the names are similar to NHL players from the early 90s, which had players named Sweeney, McLlwain, Mogilny, Smehlik, Wesley, Turcotte, Bourque, and most appropriately for this thread, Ron Tugnutt.

They’re slightly modified names from the 1993 nhl rosters: https://twitter.com/matttomic/status/1308890248718553097?s=61&t=Wira3l5cmu_E2KGRbqsALw

Amazing. I looked it up and it seems he claimed he died and went to heaven when he was 3 and saw Jesus. There was a similar account from a boy named - get this - Alex Malarkey who later took back his story as fiction. Burpo still apparently believes his own story though.
