THERE'S NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT THIS
We're just making everybody aware of the importance of managerial ethics.

*sigh* always a bridesmaid, never a bride....

No!!!!!!!

Oh, let's hope he uses the Germanic pronunciation of his name at least!
And I am not first to post, but I will be the first to mention "ramparts".
Posted by: waxwing | May 18, 2004 at 03:37 PM
Yea, it'd be pronounced like Whiner. Still an unfortunate name.

Ladies Only! Just down near the base for a little extra texture ;-) Take That! Knight-Ridder, Destroyer of the MOAT, BLOAT, and other assorted Bloglit home-fronts! :-)

Mr. Barry says that I can be first whenever I want to. So, nyah!
Posted by: Halle Berry | May 18, 2004 at 04:09 PM
I can't believe none of these people have had their names legally changed.
Posted by: Factotum | May 18, 2004 at 04:09 PM
A five-part violation of the "attempting to claim first (or other position), or complaining about not getting first (or other position) while clearly not reading the article and therefore failing to make a witty and insightful comment" clause.
waxwing, I propose you first. Does anyone second (har) the motion?
Oh, and Harry Weiner works at Harry-man. Huh huh.
Posted by: Garret | May 18, 2004 at 04:22 PM
I will be happy to second the motion for waxwing, a perfect stranger to me, of course.
Posted by: ax-way ing-way | May 18, 2004 at 04:38 PM
In case you need another second or even a third, I vote that waxwing was the first to post a reasonable response to the blog.

*points large spotlight at waxwing, plays fanfare on kazoo*
*runs, hands waxwing six frozen squirrels*
Congratulations, you are FIRST!

'Scuse me Everyone 'cept...
Halle Berry, You are Beautiful, but if what's behind your eyes and your posts is just a rasp, then...
BYE! :-)

"Managerial Ethics" - an oxymoron and NOT agnfarb.
Looks like "ramparts" has replaced "booger" as the favorite Dave Barry word. I think we should all feel proud of this. I know I do.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | May 18, 2004 at 05:24 PM
I love posts like this! It is just like being in middle school.
Posted by: Seymour Butz | May 18, 2004 at 06:18 PM
I just have one comment: "Harry Weiner" anagrams to "errhine wary."
*Bows* Thank you, thank you.
Posted by: Doug Brockmeier | May 18, 2004 at 06:41 PM
I just want to know whether he married Wm. Kunstler's daughter, Berrien Mi.
Posted by: Hugh G. Rekshun | May 18, 2004 at 06:59 PM
Dear eadn, what is a rasp? Some type of carpentry equipment if I am correct, and hardly concealable behind my eyes or my ramparts, for that matter.
Posted by: Halle Berry | May 18, 2004 at 07:18 PM
I would post a rant regarding this "First, No Me First" stuff if the MOAT or the BLOAT or the GOAT was still open. But they're not, so I won't. Hey, Halle, shut up and go to the back of the line!
Posted by: Stash | May 18, 2004 at 07:23 PM
There once was a man named Harry
His full name was kind of scary
His neighbor, Hugh Jass,
Said "I think it has class."
Ivana Tinkle, his wife,didn't see
What the problem could be
Neither did Seymour Butz,
Who said "You, yutz,
Harry Weiner is as normal a name as can be!"
Posted by: Miss C | May 18, 2004 at 07:24 PM
I find comments on my name
To be exceedingly lame.
I'm not nicely yclept
And that's alright except
I've only my parents to blame.
Posted by: Dick Stroker | May 18, 2004 at 07:31 PM
I actually went to the dictionary and looked up "yclept." Now I want to cry; that was beautiful, Dick!
Posted by: Buck Futz | May 18, 2004 at 07:51 PM
He should be a real estate agent.
Posted by: bbescuela | May 18, 2004 at 07:54 PM
I actually went to the dictionary and looked up "alright." Now I want to cry... It's "all right" you knucklebutt!
Posted by: Stash | May 18, 2004 at 07:58 PM
was anyone else reminded of the Oscar Mayer weiner song? (People not to hire for your hotdog ad campaign..."Our new spokesman, Harry Weiner...")
Posted by: Miss C | May 18, 2004 at 08:03 PM
I hope Berrien Mi keeps her last name. Berrien Mi Kuntsler-Weiner could be some serious laughs at the wedding. So would Kuntsler-Weiner in the papers the next day.

Hooray for limericks and joke names courtesy of Bart's prank calls on the Simpsons. And as long as we're on this topic, I really must add my own personal favorite:
Amanda Huggenkiss.
Ah, yes. Total ownage.
Posted by: Hoomster | May 19, 2004 at 04:33 AM
Hehehe...Hoomster--don't forget "I.P. Freely," "Jaques Strap" and...I totally forgot about this one but it seems so appropriate in this case..."Mike Rotch"
Posted by: Miss C | May 19, 2004 at 05:01 AM
We used to sign Dick Hertz to the class sign-in sheet, trying to get the teacher to ask "Who's Dick Hertz?" Ah, adolescent humor, so sophisticated.
A friend used to call a restaurant and ask them to page Sam Meoff; when he wasn't there he told them to ask for his brother Jack.

there's a girl @ my college who's name is Bamboo Dong...I had a class with her last year, and the prof was reading off the role and he got to her name and he's like "Bamboo Dong? Ok is this a joke? Who's trying to be a wiseguy?" Poor girl. She was like "No, uh, that's me..."
Posted by: Miss C | May 19, 2004 at 05:22 AM
I had a friend named Mike Heister. Worse part was, he was gay...
Posted by: Sara | May 19, 2004 at 06:30 AM
Anyone else a Bob and Tom fan?
"Paging Richard Smoker. Paging Richard Smoker.
His real name is Richard, but they call him 'Big Dick.'
I'm looking for a Big Dick Smoker..."
I have that track. I can listen to it and come up with a whole list for you.
Embarassing high school memory -- I thought "Mike Ock" was a real person at first and asked where he was when someone gave me the name. Ah, high school...
Posted by: Alex | May 19, 2004 at 06:57 AM
Man, high school IS priceless. I find myself trying to compress all my immature HS memories since we graduate next week, and it's really difficult, considering there have been so many. Amazingness.
"Amanda Huggenkiss? I need Amanda Huggenkiss!"
I swear, I will never get tired of that one.
Posted by: Hoomster | May 19, 2004 at 07:29 AM
I know I am LTTG but Eadn I can't stop laughing at your first post. Bravo!!!
Ahh I love the Simpsons.
Posted by: mad scientist | May 19, 2004 at 08:59 AM
Couple of gay guys (not that there is anything wrong with that) who run a pet store here are named (I'm not making this up) Neil and Bob.
Posted by: elfbrains | May 19, 2004 at 11:25 AM
Seventh grade must have been hell for this man.
Posted by: Lmd33 | May 19, 2004 at 11:26 AM
I'm ALWAYS LTTG posting this, but what's one more time? I actually know a guy named Richard Crapps. I am not making this up.
