Hmmmmm, now how is that name pronounced?
Posted by: Graz | May 25, 2004 at 02:53 AM
My professor is a real $!@%!...
Boy, that is one dumb !^$#^(
Yes, ^@&^&!, you!!
What a good little ^!$!%~%$#
I could go on and on here folks...

How does he answer his phone at the office?
"F*ck."
"F*ck here."
"Adolpho F*ck."
There is no acceptable answer.
Also, how many times did he get into a fight just because his mom sent someone after him?
"F*ck, your mother (Whack!) says (Whack!)its time for (Whack! stop hitting me! (Whack!) dinner!"

and he's married to a woman named juana, right?
Posted by: judi | May 25, 2004 at 03:15 AM
Nope....she's called Anita.

Also....did you notice there's a link below listing "Positions"?? It's not as interesting as you'd think, tho....

There once was a man named Rhienhardt,
a name which seems cruel enough
"At least I'm not a Dick Gephart"
he was often heard to huff
"of all the world's bad handles,
like Poindexter or Jehosephat,
None of them can hold a candle
to the one they call a Nasshat."
Posted by: mudstuffin | May 25, 2004 at 03:20 AM
Nicely done, mudstuffin.
Posted by: Graz | May 25, 2004 at 03:25 AM
Is it any wonder that one of his major areas of study is volcanic rocks?
Posted by: Gregg | May 25, 2004 at 03:40 AM
and he was born in Piratuba
This guy needs to participate in the "get a new identity" program.......
Posted by: Not Funny? | May 25, 2004 at 03:50 AM
It's a good last name. Short, sweet and to the point. I like it.
Posted by: punky brewster | May 25, 2004 at 04:02 AM
Wonder if people call him hardt for short...
Posted by: Mike McCaffrey | May 25, 2004 at 04:18 AM
Nobody's commented on the fact that he seems to go by his initials. R.A.
"You, R.A. F---!"
heh heh.
It's probably pronounced Fook.
Posted by: Blogchik | May 25, 2004 at 04:24 AM
There's a Czech word that sounds VERY close to this but means "...you don't say.
They also have a tendency to say "no" as short for "ano" which means "yes".
Makes for interesting conversations. They say "F*ck", you say "Sex?", they say "No" and you walk away.
("Sex" is universal, just like "taxi".)
Can be quite frustrating.

If I had known about this guy when I took Geology in college I would have cited his work in every paper I wrote.

My first reaction to this guy's name was "that poor bastard" but somehow that seems inadequate.
If this guy's smart he'll book a lecture tour of the U.S., pronto. Who even cares what he talks about. We're talking sold-out stadium-size venues. I'd want dibs on being his limo driver, just for the kick of being able to say "We gotta get the F**k out of [name of city here]", repeatedly.

It's amazing what turns up when you Google curse words, isn't it?

His poor kids - Les, Ivana, and little George W.

I don't get it. A Brazilian geologist, so what?
OH.

These are the Gits dear.
This is Snivelling Little Rat-Faced Git, and this is is wife, Dreary Fat Boring-Old Git. And their children, Ghastly Sotted Cross-Eyed Git, and Horrible Vicious-Little Git.

I once knew a guy named Richard Cox, of course every one just called him Dick Cox.

So if this guy discovers a cure for genital herpes and they name a university after him ... it will be F*ck U?
Posted by: philintexas | May 25, 2004 at 07:04 AM
I see nothing humorous here.
Posted by: Ima Nasshat | May 25, 2004 at 07:15 AM
This guy'd have a hard time Googling himself at work.
That, and I wonder how many internet BBs he's been banned from..."No really! It's my last name! Seriously!"
Posted by: Angie | May 25, 2004 at 07:52 AM
That little F*** sure wrote a lot of books...

Check out the window title bar. Mr. Fück is a member of 'GINA. hehehehehehe

I don't know if anyone here follows basketball outside of the US, but if you did, you'd have a lot of fun watching Barcelona's team play. The Barça has a player called Gregor Fucka. In its own way, it's even more fun than Fuck as a last name.
I think I'm going to start using the name "Marie in Barcelona" so no one gets confused. Later, if I ever get there, it will be "Marie in Paris".
Rita, why do you hate your name? I love my French name!
Marie
Posted by: Marie | May 25, 2004 at 09:44 AM
Oh god, someone said the Fück word.
Posted by: Brad | May 25, 2004 at 09:45 AM
If you see Kay, tell her I said hi.
Posted by: Mahatma Kane Jeeves | May 25, 2004 at 11:55 AM
Oh Lord! How did he survive junior high????
Posted by: Lmd33 | May 25, 2004 at 01:18 PM
If only his first name was... say "Norbert". Then the Selected Papers references would all read:
F*ck, N. A.

I lived in Brazil for a while and the name is actually not unusual. I met a dentist with the same name - it caught my attention when I saw the sign over his door.
In Brazil the name would be pronounced "foo-key."
Seriously - go to any phone book for any major Brazilian city and you'll see two or three people, minimum, with that last name.
It still made us laugh so hard we nearly peed every time we walked by his office.

I once heard of a fellow named - and I am not making this up - Richard Harddick, and yes, he pronouced it "hard dick". Worst part is (also not making this up), he was the headmaster at a Catholic boys' school!
=^..^=
Posted by: Psychocat | May 25, 2004 at 03:20 PM
well we certainly can't play the 'name game' with this guy...
and you can't do "Chuck" either:
Chuck-Chuck, bo-buck, banana-fana, fo...

My brother has that same problem: Tucker. Poor child was teased mercilessly....we still have no clue what our parents were thinking.
Posted by: abi | May 25, 2004 at 08:55 PM
Psychocat... Richard Harddick was the headmaster. That is hilarious.
Semper Thigh!
