Rusty Whatz?

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.
