MORE ON NAMES

I got some interesting comments here, so I thought I'd carry it a bit further. Rankin' Rob comments

"Why do people insist on naming their children for subdivisions; "Hampton", "Peyton". I even heard an East Cobb toddler being called "Churchill" from across the McD's playground. Yes. Fortitude, courage, WWII and all that. But what about when little Churchill is getting chased home from school, dodging pine cones every day because his fellow 4th graders don't dig the historical allusion? Repeat after me new moms and dads--"It's not about me" "It's not about me"

Well, there it is. I've been running across Peyton for a few years now. What a role model to name your child after. Some Mississippi (Louisiana?) neckbone who is the poster child for inbreeding. No? C'mon! Peyton Manning is the ugliest fucker I have ever seen since homo erectus lifted his knuckles from the soil. In fact, he dispells the claim Neanderthals did not mate with Cro-Magnon man.

I met Archie Manning in 1973. Seemed like a nice guy. But if I'd known the bizarre places his pecker must have gone in subsequent years to produce that Peyton boy I would not have shaken his hand.

I personally love Winston Churchill, but I'd sooner name my scrotum for Win than my kid. In fact, I just did.

Anyone still unoffended? Give me a moment. I'll get around to you.

UPDATE: And by the way, what mother would name her son Combustible Boy?
