i'm glad to be the first to say i admire your not posting this.

[O. the U(manity)]

Yeah, your restraint is remarkable ... you even took away the pix ...

[Betsi]

that guy's parents must have hated him.

[Sherbert]

Hey, a college football starter. I bet I know what he gets a lot of.

[TCK]

oh the humanity

[jamester]

Linebacker, 5'9", 208 lbs. I won't be making fun, sir!

[Coast(Quoth the)Raven]

What's so funny about Adam VanGrack?

[pogo]

If he wasn't a linebacker, life would be sooooo tough.

[fivver]

With you jamester! Any guy who grew up with a name like this damn well knows how to fight!

[pogo]

Life immitates art - it's The Boy Named Sue personified!

[Lairbo]

I bet this guy wishes he had a nickel for every time he's said, "It's pronounced Loooo-cious."

With a name like a Bond Girl, you just know this guy's gonna be extry mean.

[Leetie]

My question is: Was he given that name at birth, or did he change it to that??

[abevigoda]

I have just been browbeaten into giving credit to Dave where credit was rejected.

[Adonis]

*snork* @ Lairbo! "name like a Bond Girl" or an Austin Powers girl!

[MoFaux]

Believe it or not, I have a business card of a lady at the bank whose name is Lucious Johnson.I also parked in a space reserved for Dick Zupp.goodluck and goodnight all~

[Adonis]

Man, guys! I think that we're party to the rare dave/judi blog-off!! To your keyboards and open your beers! Put in a pithy comment and move on to the next one! I'll keep you updated on the scores!

Right now were tied 5 all! Who will break ahead? Stay tuned!

I once worked with a possible relative of Lucius named Sandy - ISIANMTU. Where is the prosecutor when you need him?

[Reine le Guin]

Booger, you all broke the link!

[Chris Johnson]

Restraint. RESTRAINT. OK, not possible. I blame Dave. Peter Richard Wang, my college buddy. Well, not anymore....

[Adonis]

moi? Fine, um, I once knew a girl named Anita, (somethingorother). I can't remember her name, but all the guys (except me, of course) inserted anything dirty they could think of as her last name, you know, behind her back. (Wow, that's a lot of commas and parenthesis!)

[Hanna]

Used to answer phones for a guy and his wife named KNIPPEL The smart ones would just spell it, others would dive right in and ask for Mr. or Mrs. nipple.

They pronouced it kah'-nipple.

Also knew a guy named Royal Blue. There you go, BM, change to RB. Sounds rich, like you inherited old money or something.

[Annie Where-but-here]

"Ophelia Rass." 'nuff said.

[O. the U(manity)]

Mary Bangs ... ISIANMTU ...

[Christobol]

Went to grade school with a Linda Pusey, her family pronounced it "pyoo-see" - they were alone in that.

But her dad had played in the NHL, so you only made fun of him at a distance.

[Christobol]

And don't get me started on her cousin Andy Bonedyerdog.

[Annie Where-but-here]

We used to call our office and ask for "Mike, he's a consultant. His last name is Hunt. Would you mind paging him?"

[A Bucket]

Knew a guy in college who changed his first name from Tom to Gomer. When he went to court to make it official the baliff stamped whatever the final documents were with the comment "If my name were Gomer I'd change it too."

[Fact Checker]

You were taken in, Dave.

His real name is Lucious Seymour.

[OCD]

Why can't I leave well enough alone?

[OCD]

Oops

[Hanna]

If you have a zoo in your town, give somebody a phone message and the number, please return call to "Mr. Lion." Did that once, good thing I was a temp.

[Wavey]

Maybe his full name is Lucious Seymour-Pusey.

Now that would be a fun name to go through life with.

[atypicalwife]

I followed Fact Checker's link. Did anyone happen to notice the name of the head coach? Still not as bad as a guy in my bowling league a few years ago: Dick Munch. WHAT were his parents thinking? Then again, why didn't he just go by Richard?

OK, back to blurking...

[PirateBoy]

My HS had Linda Fuquet. The proper French way to say it was "Foo Quay". No one except the teachers ever said it that way, including Linda!

[Adonis]

Waytago atypicalwife! Even if I didn't know that the original link was a hoax, I still would think the coach's name is better!

[Meanie, the Blue]

THIS is no hoax either. No word on what they named their children.

[O. the U(manity)]

OCD -

Yeah, those names, John Coci, Bodie Reeder ...
I can see how they offer all sorts of options, eh?

[Julietine]

Ok I usually just laugh at these posts and feel bad for the people whose names we make fun of..however this time i feel compelled to add a comment since I truly believe Dave is making this one up and is f+*&^ing with us....

[Adonis]

There's no way Julietine. If you look, you can see it's on the ESPN site. Plus, His Daveness, or D. Leanord Barry, would never do that. Would he?

[Bismuth]

My dad once worked with a guy named Wright Nee...

[Hanna]

Used to work in a lab in a former life. Our all time fav was a guy name "Lovette Bare." True story. What were his parents thinking???

[fivver]

Knew a guy in college named Tim Burdik. Say it fast.

[Hanna]

One place where I worked had a computer guy named Wong who worked on our Wang. Temping can be a blast.

[KDFgirl]

These parents are either: 1) extremely cruel, 2) complete idiots, or 3) the master practical jokers of the universe

[Rose]

We really shouldn't laugh. Nope we shouldn't laugh. What was that boy's parents thinking?

[Keiichi]

That reminds me of an experience a friend of mine had. He was a security guard, and he frequently handed license plate numbers to a secretary for cars that were in a tow-away zone. She looked up the plates of the employee in question and called their names out over the intercom and told them to move their car. She told him for one of these "Oh, I *can't* say this one..." It turned out to be a Vietnamese employee named "Dum Phuc" (pronounced Dumb F***k)...

[Adonis]

Whoa! Everybody! Rose is back! Just more proof that once you go Berry, ya don't go back!

[Ken]

Dave and Judi won't post my suggestions anymore. Either they took too much flak over the Anal Douche entry available through Amazon.com (not getting a cut of sales?) or I bombarded them with too many emails and got put on an ignore senders list. Pity, because I sent in this name link today, which seems like Dave's personal fave for joke subject matter. Not that we would ever stoop to making a joke out of someone's name.

[Keiichi]

Oh, and then there's my friend from Alaska, who named her BOY child "Snowy". Maybe not a problem in Alaska, but they live in Texas now. I feel so sorry for the kid...

[Silliyak]

I predict he will be an all star linebacker with the Chicago Bears, following in the footsteps of Dick Butkiss.

[Gary]

I do software development as my job, and we often get systems where we have to put test people into the database. My three favorite test people are Uldis Smidchens, Hyman Hops, and Chauncey McTavish (all real people). I'd add Lucious except I might get it from The Man. Oh wait, I am The Man ...

And I did actually work with somebody named Richard Head. He was too nice a guy to make fun.

[Rose]

If you think that's funny check out Dr. Mahmood Butt.

[Gary]

Silliyak - or Dave Butz. He used to live near my parents and I saw him in Safeway. That was a big guy.

[Rose]

Adonis, I don't need the spot light on me.LOL I was hoping to slip in unnoticed. :)
I can’t help it. I love bizarre thinks like this.

[Adonis]

Don't worry, we understand. It's like meth. Once you try, it alters your brain chemistry. We're all just looking forward to seeing your blog get weirder and weirder as you progressively get closer to the status quo around here. Welcome to the jungle.

[Hanna]

Used to know a family named the Klutzes. They were nice people, took the teasing good-naturedly.

Hey hey Rose. This craziness is addictive. Dave seems to attract high quality nuts.

[atypicalwife]

Well, KDFgirl, in reference to choice #2 - there has been speculation that giving birth causes brain damage. Would any woman in her right mind do that more than once? I speak from experience, of course. I have 2 children, and all I can say is "I'm an excellent mother, yeah, excellent mother..."

[Mr. Completely]

I shall refrain from once again posting my story of my Navy friend named Richard Head.

You're welcome.

[Hanna]

Actually, I have read that boy babies are born with brain damage. The testosterone bath they get in order to develop dangly bits evidently severs some of the connections between the right and left lobes of the brain (probably moves them downward). IF this is true, then girls stay okay until the first child is born from them? Hmmmm....

[Meanie, the Blue]

Welcome once again to nobody in particular, whom I am not especially spotlighting or anything. Nope, not in any way at all, uh-uh.

[atypicalwife]

Thanks, Mr. Completely. My husband works with a guy who also has that name.

[KDFgirl]

Atypicalwife, you make a good point. I have a theory that during childbirth, brain cells come out right along with the placenta, never to regenerate. I have three children. 'Splains a lot.

[Orphan]

I just googled 47 Lucious Pusey and got
"Results 1 - 10 of about 203 for 47 Lucious Pusey. (0.58 seconds)"
All sports pages. It's a real deal :)

[Rose]

Thank you Meanie. Orphan if you googled him, you know that he changed his name to Lucious Seymour. I can’t say I blame him. LOL

[Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa]

Rose-Wise of him to change his last name.

[O. the U(manity)]

Hi, everybuddy ...

(Merely touchin' base, in case I fergot ...)

[KDFgirl]

As if we don't all know what Lucious Sees More of. :)

[Meanie, the Blue]

Game films, KDF, you must mean game films.

[Mr. Completely]

ATypicalWife (or is that AtypicalWife?) - I wonder if it's the same guy? After all, how many Dick Heads can there be out there?

[Betsy]

Mr. C....I'm assuming that was a rhetorical question. Otherwise we'll be here til doomsday:)

[O. the U(manity)]

Yeah, Mr. C ... I'm not touchin' that "rhetorical" question ... I dismember whut happened the last time I tried that ... merely sayin' ...

[queensbee]

my sister had a friend in college who changed his name from larry schwartz [or something like that] to igor swampwater. really. and i bet mr pusey pronounces it - pyeu-see, as was said here earlier. i went to hebrew school with a girl named candace kanes. parents need to change their last names before they have kids. sigh.
people do dumb stuff. and it all should be posted here, which of course it isnt, out of the kindness of dave, who wouldnt dare.

[CoastRaven]

Hmmmm - did someone whom we are definately not spotlighting just call us bizarre?
*sniff*
That may be the nicest thing anyones said to me all day!
Beer & parfait for the house!!
(Yeah I KNOW its only 8:45AM, but ya gotta start sometime)
;-)

[O. the U(manity)]

Another one?

I knew a guy from HS and college named Chuck Pewsey ... pronounced, of course PEW-see ... IANMTU ... not as potentially "dangerous" to those speaking the American Dialect of English, but still p'haps subject to mistakes ... eh?

[Nancy M.]

How about Dusty Knuckles and Roman Holiday? No, I am not making that up.

[Rose]

Nope, I called the things that Dave posts bizarre. LOL But, thank you for the beer.

[AlanBoss]

I know that I've mentioned the ob/gyn that had an office near my house named Leonard DeCunto. Just thought that I'd mention it again.

Oh! And, welcome back, Rose! Glad to see that you've caught on to the way we are around here!

[Michael Feder]

Hey, Dave! I think this is a great addition to your list: "Liberace, Your Personal Fashion Consultant"- they punch out, and can be used to bling your xmas tree- see the tree at www.liberace.org. Plus, a portion of proceeds go the the Liberace Scholars fund, which has given over 2400 scholarships to students in the visual and performing arts. I can send you a great JPEG of the Liberace X-Mas tree- nothing but fun, and a great cause!
