If they were fans they certainly wouldn’t name their kid after the character that fans were less fond of and more wanted to hammer nails into his eyes. As far as despised characters go, Seven gives Scrappy-Doo a run for the money.
I’m convinced some of these kids are named after the last sound the mother makes as she pushes the kid out.
one of my coworkers, her parents misspelled her name on her birth certificate. Her driver's license still contains the misspelling. She's close to 60. Never bothered to correct it.
I know we talked about the Hawk Tuah girl in another WDT or 2, but good on her extending her 15 minutes. I hope she keeps raking in money, and taking advantage of people helping her cash in for free. Like the Mets, who let her throw out the first pitch during yesterday's game. A day game. It was Summer camp day, with a large percentage of fans that were children. That sounds like something the Mets would do. Those were probably some fun conversations in the stands.
I really enjoy the Hawk Tuah woman. She threw the first pitch yesterday to her friend whom she is sharing many of these outings with and generally behaved like a couple of youngsters enjoying doing things they never thought they could do. In interviews I think she comes off pretty intelligent and down to earth. But that is just me, plus the A's taking the series from the Mets was not a bad thing.
Her interview with Bill Maher was, not great. To be fair though he does get high enough to produce some stinker podcast. She still didn’t come off to me as magnetic or quick witted enough to sustain a public persona that last. Get that money while you can girl. Definitely beats working in a spring factory. I’d milk a viral moment for all it was worth if it happened to me.
I know a kid named Ragnar. Because that's something people do now, name their children after characters from TV shows that, while they may have been an actual person from history, most people wouldn't know about them if not for the show. His sister has an equally ridiculous name but I can't remember it. I only remember cringing when I heard it.
Ragnar is a legit name here in Scandinavia, 16500 Ragnars in Sweden alone. But then again people name their kids Bear (Björn) and Stone (Sten) here, so… I have an ex who gave 2 of her sons Irish names with the immpossible to decipher Gaelic spelling. Then the final child was named Varrick after an anime character.
It is 100 degrees out. Two of our AC units just shit the bed. AC repair guys were here within half an hour, unfortunately they're closed on the weekend. One of the units has to be replaced (above our boys' bedroom) and the living room unit needs a replacement part. This is not okay.
