aka the Toshiro Lucas McWeeney award.

So I'm reading a news story on imdb.com about Jason Lee's bout of chicken pox:

Quote:
Production on the hit show was shut down for two weeks and the actor also ended up giving chicken pox to his two-year-old son, Pilot Inspektor. The star says, "I gave them to my son and it didn't even phase him. He was running around playing while I was floored." He adds jokingly, "But I'm here and I'm alive."


WTF, Pilot Inspektor?

Pilot Inspektor!!??

Two words. George Foreman.

Quote:
Foreman was the Olympic heavyweight boxing champion in 1968... It's true: Foreman has five daughters and five sons and has named all of the sons George: George Jr., George III, George IV, George V, and George VI.

Partial explanation for Lee giving his kid such a horrible name: Lee is a Scientologist.

Frank Zappa's kids and David Bowie's all have ridiculous names. Moon Unit, Fifi Trixibell Shocked Pretty stupid but there is worse...

The funniest one I heard was about a Chinese couple who decided to name their kid after two of the biggest news stories at the time....They named him

SADDAM SARS

People like that should not be allowed to have children.

I've always said celebrities should not have the right to get married and reproduce. They're corrupting our institution of marriage.

That goes double for Scientologists.

Just remembered. Another man in my town, would have been born during the 1910's had the name... Les Dickout. I guess it just wasn't funny back then.

Okay, the name was 'tuokcid' backwards. Could only have been funnier if his name was Harry.

I tried really hard not to post this, but I failed. I'm sorry.

These book titles/author's names were hysterical back in 1958.

An old college friend's first name was Carlos Santana (I won't mention his full name) because when his mom was in the hospital Santana was on the radio and she decided she liked the name. Funny thing is there's nothing latino about him at all!

I told my co-workers in the dept. and one guy's wife went to work at an inner city school and found these kids names (among others)

Lemonjelo
Laranjelo
Shatonya

The first two (twins) I can see coming from hospital dessert menu items.

Number three is just mean, and I'm still not sure if I believe it.

There were two brothers with the surname Head: Oral and Richard (often going by the nickname).

Mike Hunt probably wasn't a sensible choice either.

"Teague is out of his league"
"Teague is fatigued"
"Teague is a Peague (pig)" or even better Teague the Peague
