There was a TV special on several years ago hosted by Moon Unit Zappa about
unusual names.  They did the usual with Santa Clause, Jack Frost, Pebble Beach,
Ima Belcher etc... But the worst I remember was some parents named Daub who
named their son Zippity Do.

A long time ago, National Lampoon published a special edition of
its magazine called "National Lampoon's High School Year Book Parody",
where the names of the underclassmen were classic.  There were
dozens of names like "Adam Baum", and "Amanda B. Reckonwith".
It's the best list I've ever seen.

My dad had to explain "three fingers of two cents plain". "two cents
plain" is gingerale that costs 2 cents per 'finger'. You'd wrap three
fingers around the glass and the bartender would fill the glass to the
top of your third finger.

I loved that song, too.

All the counselors hate the waiters
and the lake has alligators.
And the head coach wants no sissies,
so he reads to us from something called 'Ulysses'.

[bridge -- "Take me home..."]

[last verse]
Wait a minute, it stopped hailing.
Guys are swimming, guys are sailing.
Playing baseball, gee that's better.
Mudda, fadda, kindly disregard this letter!

There is however an alternative first verse;

He came from the old Barmitzvah spread,

He was mean and nasty right clear through,
which was kind of wierd cuz he was yellow too.

Does anyone remember a song called

Ballad of Irving (the 142'nd fastest gun in the west)

I don't know the artist. From back in the late sixties.


went something like this:

One fourty one could draw faster than he 
So Irving drew on one fourty Three.


it was a very funny song.
if any one could add to this it would be good.
.If anyone has the recording please Email me.

In an article I made up today:

    B I L L   G A T E S   L O S I N G   H I S   H A I R

It seems that not all is well with the billionaire Gates as
shows when looking at the top of his head.  Photographer Semore
Pictures snapped a couple of shots in a barber shop of Gates 
trying on new rugs for his lid.  When confronted with the
evidence, Gates mentioned that he started losing his hair
right after Word for Windows came out.  After that he left
to try the hair club for Men.

I guess the moral of the story is:

Don't use a GUI unless you're prepared to use a WYSIWYG.

(Hahahahahahahahahaha!)

Thery is a subdivision in Gulfport, MS called "Canal Place".  One night
someone went to all of their signs and removed the C's.  I thought
is was pretty funny.
