Working today, I've come to realize (moreso than before) that there are some truly sadistic parents out there. I've had a slew of claims for people that, sadly, must've been severely beaten at some point in the past. Why? Because their names are really funny and weird.

Ready to make fun of them together? I've left off the last names for...uh...anonymity.

First up is a young woman named "Tyranny Rose". Somebody should have explained that "tyranny" isn't usually associated with something positive. Hmm...maybe someone did - hence, the "Rose" chaser, possibly intended to pretty it up a bit.

Next, we have a poor man named "Twiss Roberts". Twiss. That's a first name? Twiss Family Roberts...son? Yeah.

Okay. Here comes the lovely "Twila Weave", staggering her drunken way down the aisle. Boy, does she make burlap look GOOD, or what?

For all you cowgirls out there, our next candidate is the rugged "Cloyce Stetson". Cloyce is wearing the latest in buttless chaps and yes, that IS Old Spice and Skoal you smell - he rolled in it this morning.

There's "Analys John", which feels inappropriate any way you pronounce it, especially when you realize that this a girl. What?

The next two are either porn stars or girl...er...grrl band keytarists - "Midnight Magna" and "Heaven Jazzell". We'll just call them "entertainers".

And rounding out the list is my favorite, "Jerome (Jerry) Christ". Hi, I'm Jesus, and this is my brother Jerry, and this is my other brother Jerry.


Tee hee! Other people are weeeeeeeeeeeeeirrrrrrrrrd!

P.S. -

I'll have you know that the very NEXT claim I got was for "Heavenleigh Barbee". Do with THAT as you will.

    I'm not really this cynical, I just...wait...

    Yeah, I am. Oh well.

    Ah, I love the smell of self-deprecating humor in the evening!
