His parents are just cruel... they knew.. you know they knew.

[igloo]

Ya just gotta love the mother Country.

[MOTW]

His chosen field of study:
I work on the history of Britain since 1750, especially the history of gender and sexuality.

How very fitting.

[julietine]

And he gets paid for that???...

[Eleanor]

The name of the writer of the "fisherman tells the truth" story is S. Cocking!!

Coincidence - I think not.

[punky brewster]

Friend: "Dude ... use your middle name."

Harry: "but it's Richard!"

Friend: "So your name is Harry Dick Cock? Dude ... that sucks."

Harry: "yeah."

Friend: "yeah."

[mary]

Harry Cocks????? He has more than one?

[Emzee71]

So, if the Green BAy Packers are called "The Pack"
and the Minnesota Vikings are called "The Vikes"
and the N.E. Patriots are called "The Pats",
then the Tennessee Titans must be called ....

[katty]

Emzee 71,
They are called,"the TANs!"

[BarryFS]

This was blogged last year.

Look at the titles of his papers.

[Rainy Daze]

Top 5 Worse Names for your Kids than Harry Cocks:

5. Dick Trickle
4. Mike Hunt (said quickly, of course)
3. Penis McGee
2. Chewbacca (yes, I know of someone who named their son Chewbacca)
1. Cher

[Gary]

Does nobody else think this sounds fishy? Hairy Cocks publishing reports on sexuality?

[BarryFS]

Just think about the poor Bush family.

Prunella Bush

Dick Bush

spring to mind.

[Patti D]

I knew someone named "Brick Wall" once. And he actually looked like one, too.

[BarryFS]

I suppose there is a FIRST BUSH.

[Dementia]

After you get to know him, "Doc Cock" is an interesting guy. After all his research is "supervised".

[Gary B]

"Happy Harry Cox" was a character in Firesign Theatre's "Everything You Know Is Wrong"

[Jeff Meyerson]

Harry Cocks seems way too interested in sodomy to judge by his publications.

Rainy Daze: you know someone who named their kid Chewbacca?!?!?! Get the hell out of here! What was their last name, Rabinowitz?

My friend used to call restaurants and ask them to page Sam Meoff. When he wasn't there he asked them to try his brother Jack.

[Earl]

This is a fake site. I went to school with a Harry Dick.

[Earl]

I am not kidding I swear on the phone in my mothers grave. Harry last freaking name was Dick like Phillp K (no relation) Harry had a brother name Timmy and Harry was as dumb as a rock even the magic balanced kind were more exciting than Harry - in fact no one ever mentioned his name because the humor would not have been worth it. I am telling you Harry was beyond possiblity of humor if you saw him you whould think that a half of a tire would be funnier.

[Rainy Daze]

No, I think the last name was something REALLY OUTRAGEOUS... like Smith. My girlfriend's a teaching intern, and one of the students she had was named Chewbacca.

Man, if your family was cool (or not cool, depending on your current level of "nerd") you could have an entire Star Wars cast in your bloodline:

-Cousin Han
-Aunt Leia
-Grandpa Darth
-Uncle Obi-Wan

the possibilities are too good to comprehend!

[kibby F5™]

Yea, and Cousin Han could be married to Aunt Leia who's father is Uncle Obi-Wan who's brother is Grandpa Darth.

A real hoot!

*is confused*

[kibby F5™]

*gets out chalk board*

*draws lots of lines*

*family tree starting to look like a ...*

HOLLY SH!T!!!

[Jeff Meyerson]

A friend who was a teacher had a kid named Female in her class. The mother thought the little bracelet the hospital put on the newborns meant that was the kid's name: Female Smith.

They pronounced it Fe-Mal-ee.

Really.

[kibby F5™]

... and they say it doesn't start at home?

[Rainy Daze]

Oh it starts at home.. and then, through the magic of hearsay, investigative journalism, sporadic rumor, mudslinging, weasel bashing, turkey sandwich eating, and 24 watching, it ends up here on this blog. Life's crazy ain't it?

[insomniac]

Q: 007, you are getting a sidekick on this mission

JBond: Is she well-endowed ?

Q: You might say that.. James, meet Professor Cocks

HC: That's Harry... Harry Cocks,meeting you, James, I can say I'm 'stirred' not shaken!

JB: Damn, I forgot to get that license to kill renewed!

I used to work in an ER and then in a job where we got a lot of checks - at a hospital. Some of the names I came across myself:

Tarzan Jones

Harry Beaver (an OB-GYN - no joke) his name was printed on the check that way, not "Harold"

Lemonjello and Orangejello (Twins) pronounced leMONjello and oRONjello

I had a teacher in high school named Rusty Dick. There was a whole family of Dicks in town.

[Arcane Jill]

We have Dicks in my fair city too. They're the ones who keyed my car FIVE TIMES last year, the little Dicks...I mean the kids. :D

[Slyeyes]

Jeff, about 30 years ago, my sister-in-law used to work for a doctor and told the story of a baby being named "Female". Years later, I heard it was an Urban Legend.

[Hobbit]

I once knew a girl named Arwen. For true. Her mother was a big LOTR buff.
Of course, not many people at the time caught the reference - just thought it was a pretty name. And it is!
I am so naming my daughter Galadriel.

[U.O.]

Kibby F5 -
Is that what those little red things are on Christmas wreaths? Holly Sh!t?

(Sorry. Couldn't help myself ...)

Orangejello and Lemonjello were a couple of outrageously talented running backs in Dan Jenkins book ... twins, of course ...

Someone named their kids after fictional characters?

I believe it. I really do.

(Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

My grandmother's maiden name was Amy Zoe Pratt.
She had a cousin named Fanny Pratt.

I am not making this up.

[insomniac]

a few years back there was an article in Science News about a brilliant young 19 year old mathematician who had made some new discoveries, her parents were either Welsh or Fleetwood Mac fans since they had named her Rhiannon.

[Arcane Jill]

Seeing as how Rhiannon is some kind of Celtic for Witch...

[u.o.]

back in my sportswriter days, I knew of at least two young ladies (h.s. basketball/volleyball players) named Rhiannon ... a bit different, but not uncommon ...
