So who explains to this poor girl what's wrong with her name? Couldn't they have done it before she got her name in the International Herald Tribune?

http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/04/03/news/china.php?page=2

"A former flight attendant, she had moved from Hong Kong with her daughter Poony Poon, 10, to give her the chance to study piano at Juilliard, where she has a scholarship."

Her picture doesn't show up in the online edition, but her picture and name are on the front page of today's Herald. That reminds me, I had a Vietnamese roommate in university named Tuat. Good times.

You should try teaching in Thailand. I used to teach Kittyporn and a Tittiporn. It was...er...kinda distracting.

Pooney Poon is quite a good 'un though.

That's totally hilarious. Just imagine when she hits the teen years, what all the boys will be coming up with.

Mack: Any quick stories to tell? Too funny!

Not many Tuat stories, since he only lasted two weeks at university. He was an engineering major and apparently that's really hard. His name was always good for a laugh, though, when we were all getting stoned. "Dude, your roommate's name is Tuat" would break up the room. Being 18 and stupid was fun.

Hell yes.

Can you see it?

Live in concert: Poony Poon

1/3 of the audience would be piano lovers, 1/3 would be porn freaks who thought it was a strip show, and 1/3 would be teenagers who thought it was a hip-hop show.

To be fair, we pick on all silly names, not just the ones that belong to gifted artists.
