Thanks to Niyon for sending us this great card. In the name of holy collectibles, I sure do hope this card is worth some cash! I guess he should be thankful his name isn’t Harry, or Dusty, but Rusty Kuntz is still a pretty unfortunate name.
I have always gotten a kick out of funny names (I swear there was a reporter in the Chicagoland area back in the day named Dick Johnson.) But one story sticks out in particular:
Nerves and I knew a couple kids named Luke and Leia (yes, named after the Skywalkers) and we were complaining about their dumbass parents when a friend of ours told us her story. She is a teacher, and there was a set of twins in her class that came from a lower class family. When she first saw their names on her list she was unsure how to pronounce the names. Here they are with the correct pronunciation beside the names:
Lemonjello (Leh-Mon-Jel-O)
Orangejello (Oar-On-Jel-O)
The kids told her how to pronounce the names and she said, “Those are pretty unique names. Where did your parents get those from?”
Answer: “From the boxes in the cupboard.”
LEMON JELLO
ORANGE JELLO
And with that I realized that this world is fucked.
