I work with someone named Anita Peter. Cracks me up when I have to ask for her.

Doh, and with this we all learn the importance of proof reading a aloud to ourselves before we hand in our stuff.

I went to middle school with a girl named Kara Dick. Not too bad, but her Dad's name was Richard... What kind of sick parents did that man have to name him Richard Dick?

My Dad's longtime friend is named Richard Running--Dick for short, of course. I can't ever hear his name is conversation without chuckling.

I used to work with a guy named 'Dick Kokane'.

I am not making this up.

"My confidence in people is now tarnished, and that may be the thing that bothers me the most. People complain that reporters are jaded. Well, now you know one reason why."

What a whinny little biatch. He was too lazy to verify anything or see the name as a joke so now he no longer trusts the human race.

Gee you mean someone out there may not be fully honest with you? If they were we wouldn't need reporters would we asshat?

Yours Truly,

99X is pretty good, but 96 Rock is better. In terms of commercial radio stations, that is.

When I was in college, one night my roommate and I stumbled across the name Richard Head in our student phonebook. Laughing, we called the number and asked for Dick Head. The guy that answered the phone said, "He's at the library - can I take a message?". It turned out he preferred to be called Dick Head and was proud of it.

My favorite fake name:

Mike Oxbig

My bar rock band was once setting up equipment in an establishment that had a wing set aside for the Dork Family Reunion.

I can just picture one of the Dorks getting indignant and defensive when his fiancee casually mentions that she would like to keep her last name.

No lie, there is a news anchor in Chicago named Harry Johnson.

man named "jackass" sues Jackass

his name is appropriate, I'd say.

Know a guy named Rich Mann.

And yes, he goes by Rich.

And no, he's not rich.

Dick Trickle is the most famous of the "Unfortunately Named Atheletes", but don't forget Misty Hyman and Ivana Mandic.

What a whiney ashaat that reporter is...

My shop teacher in middle school was named Harry Krack. In middle school, that's a death sentence.
 
2003-04-21 12:14:00 PM
Heh, I work with a guy named John Modic. We had a lady customer call in and say quite matter of factly that she "needed Modic"......too farkin funny

From an article posted yesterday:

"Matthew Butt, Furlong's lawyer, said his client would not appeal the extradition order..."

There's not a name in the world that would sound right in front of "Butt".

I went to grade school with a kid who's last name was "Dickman". Oh man, was he teased un-mercifully. When I look back, I feel kind of bad about it. Kids can be SO cruel.
 
2003-04-21 12:18:43 PM
I run across some strange names at work. None of them have topped this one - Ms. Love Seemon. 'nuff said.

My confidence in people is now tarnished..

Maybe it's just me, but I think that this guy is taking this waay too hard. Who gives a shiat? Anyone who would find "Haywood Jablome" offensive in a newspaper is an idiot, anyway.
 
2003-04-21 12:26:02 PM
around here the email address for contractors are generally first intial, last name, x. But the last name is often shortened. There was this guy whos ID and such was
danalsex

"mike kratchezez" has always been a favorite fake of mine. on the real tip, i did go to high school with a "joe momma."

That reminds me the high school I went to had a Guidance Councilor named Dick Butts. His wife's name was Sandy.

My friends and I paid to join the Dick Trickle fan club just so we could buy a poster of him to put on the wall.

I always liked the fake names
Phil McKracken and Pat McGroin

But forget about the funny names for a minute, the best part of the article was here:
With a swarm of reporters, police and protesters there for Martha Burk's high-profile stand against the club's male-only membership policy, one man held up a sign reading "Make me dinner" before being escorted away by police.

One day my friend, who's real name actually was Mike, snuck into my geometry class when we had a substitute teacher. We had learned that subs never had class lists. Mike gave his name as "Michael Rotch". The rest of us kept making retarded jokes about "I touched Mike Rotch", "I licked Mike Rotch", etc. Finally the sub got completely flustered and blurted "Would you PLEASE keep your hands on your OWN crotch!!!"
Good times.

I went to college with a girl who's last name was Bimbo. She told me she couldn't wait to marry her boyfriend just to get rid of her last name. I never made fun of her because my last name is pretty bad too, but I ain't telling you farkers...
 
2003-04-21 12:39:40 PM
the episode has taught me a lesson: Trust no one.

Now if we can just get the White House press corps to do the same thing. It'll raise their credibility.

There's a guy in Rochester, NY who owns a couple car dealerships: Dick Ide. Why would this guy not go by "Rich" or "Rick"?
 
2003-04-21 12:49:07 PM
Did this guy grow up in a cave somewhere? Not to mention his editors, who also seemed to miss this obvious and well-worn cliche. Almost makes me think that he might have done it on purpose to get some recognition and/or face time.

I went to school with some vietnamese chick... I dunno how she spelled it, but her name was pronounced whore.

In case the fark filter takes that, her name was pronounced the same as a synonym for prostitute which rhymes with boar.

My math teacher's name is Michael Hunter.

And MS Word constantly tries to spell check my last name (Toltz) to Toilets.
 
2003-04-21 12:59:00 PM
Don't forget the stunt pilot who crashed in the 80's named Richard Penis. Of course he pronounced it "PENN-is".

My name of choice has been Craven Moorehead forever. I still use it from time to time, and it always makes me laugh.

A former co-worker of mine was explaining her decision to stick with her maiden name at lunch one day, opting to remain a "Greene", instead of taking her husband's name of "Wall". That's when it hit me...her husband's first name was Walter. Who on earth could think a name like Walter Wall is a good idea?

VideoVader, a man named Hans Lo, once claimed in Nintendo Power that he beat ninja Gaiden without looking at the screen. We have been trying to find him for around five year. Please tell me this is the same guy and where I can contact him.

Also, a girl from my city (Beloit, WI) is named Marijuana Pepsi Jackson. That is her real name. The rumor is that her mom named her after her two favorite things. Anyone from the south-central wisconsin area should have heard of her. Anyone else?

There's a chick at my school with the last name of Muff. Personally, i would have to kill myself if i had a name like that.
 
2003-04-21 01:47:15 PM
I know a Richard Puffer. Yes, they call him Dick.
 
2003-04-21 01:54:11 PM
one of my cousins is Peter Peterson. Actually names like that seem to run in my family but I can't remember most of them right now.
 
2003-04-21 01:55:54 PM
I once worked with a guy named Jim Glasscock.


"Has anybody seen Mike Hunt?"

I friend of mine is a social worker in St. Louis and she had one lady whose three kids are:
Lemonjello
Grapjello
Orangjello

This is not a joke.. sick parents

Oh, sorry, the Chicago news anchor is Dick Johnson, not Harry Johnson.

That only makes it funnier.
