I’d change my name
March 5th, 2008There’s a grocery store chain in Texas called H.E.B. It’s a dang fine chain and I’ve had nothing but good experiences there, but we’d always joke that the reason they called the store H.E.B. is because the guy’s name was something like Hieronymus Edwardian Buttsniff or Harry Egghead Boonediddly or something along those lines.
Well, we eventually found out why they named the store H.E.B. The guy’s last name is Butts. Could you imagine a grocery store called Butts? I’d definitely not shop there. I don’t care how fresh the produce was.
I’d change my name if my last name was Butts. But (no pun intended), you think that’s bad. I met a lady the other day with a last name Takeshita. For the sake of your kids, lady, change your name. You could make it PG rated and change it to Takedumpa. Or just shorten it to Take.

I’m still working on my energy post. I keep getting distracted by this and that so it’s not ready. I’m also working on another post on McCain vs Obama, finding the good and bad with both politicians. Don’t worry, I’ll give even more wordage to whomever Third Party candidates decide to run, because you know how I feel about the Republicrats.
The Democrats want to be your mother. The Republicans want to be your father. I already have two parents. I don’t need more parents!
Now, I got all kinds of info on McCain. Obama on the other hand I got nothing on. It’s because he’s one of the most vague politicians I’ve ever seen, and that’s really saying something. You want to see something bad? Check out this video on Ben’s blog. Even his key supporters have no idea what he’s done.
There was once a girl name Emma Rhoyds…
i had a student teacher whose last name was butt.
husband went to school with a justin case.
i met a korean law student named sue yoo.
we both know guys named dick ball and dick shook.
my kid once had a classmate whose last name was pronounced “mudf*ck.” they said it had an odd spelling though.
and man that video says it all by saying nothing huh? i’m still stickign with the pans i announced on wednesday though….again , not because i am convinced obama is a worthy candidate but because i dont’ even want a chance that we could have 28 years of two families running this country.
Yeah, I’ve seen some great names working in Universities. Some of my favorites (Including international students)
Stanley Zilbergliet (just slap a sticker on his forehead that says “hit me in the head with the dodgeball”)
Ding Ding Wang
Lowell D. Snorff, III (the fact that there were two predecessors is what kills me)
Lulu Lu (professor Lu’s daughter)
The same can be said about any politician. I could walk down the street and ask “ok, what’s McCain done?” and most people wouldn’t have a fuckin clue. Are the people in the video people who pay attention to politics in the first place? If not, they won’t know diddly about any candidate. I remember talking to a distant relative in 2004 about the election (in OCTOBER) and she said “Who’s John Kerry?”…
Miladysa - I see what’s coming.
Lime - Wow. I’d change my name on all of those. I’ll hit that post before I head off to work.
Laura - Heh. I’d so much hit that kid with a dodgeball.
But yeah, in Obama’s defense, most of them are vague. But this guy was a fellow Senator. He should be able to say something. He’s not just some guy walking down the street with an Obama pin on his jacket.
I know a kid back home that is a few years older than me with the name Lonnie Butts.. It was always funny to see him.
Now on to politics yikes. these asses this time around dont know what they are up against do they? They think they can get us out of this war and everything and save us lets see them try. That is my take on it.
Was the store exit only?
I went to school with a boy named Carey Butts. Poor kid he never stood a chance, and he was such a cutie!
That’s quite an optimistic attitude Tweety! I have an idea. Let’s just resign to our fate and give up rather than try to make a difference in our future…
Jeff was telling me about a girl he knew or heard about with the last name shitheat. But of course that isnt how it was pronounced.
Laura I am not very political so my take on things are a bit more drastic than others here. I do care about my future really but I hate watching these assses bash each other until Election day to see who can get the power and then have half of what they said during the bashing not come true. I have seen it for the last fifteen years or so and I am just sick of it.
There used to be a column in the Ottawa paper called Action Line. Some poor guy wrote in, a recent at the time immigrant, who said that he’d been punched in the face a few times simply because he’s told someone his name. Seriously.
They didn’t print the name, tho.
My French teacher: Madame Ho
Koreans: Young Ho, Young Duck, Mean Ho
NFL Legend: Dick Butkus
You can’t throw a bigger goose egg than the senator did on live TV.
Tweety: Just remember that politics is guaranteed never to change if people don’t get involved and try. It’s part of the system of ‘business as usual’ to try and dissuade people from being interested or convince us that it’s useless to try. If you buy into that, then they automatically win.
Does the porn guy Seymour Butts need to change his name?
Tweety - Ron Paul would have gotten us out.
JACC - Heh. That, I don’t want to know.
Courtney - He either turned out to be one tough guy or an alcoholic.
Laura - Good attitude. I try to never be cynical even when it looks like all hope is lost.
Bridget - What a bummer. I so much want to hear what his name was.
Skeletor - Madame Ho? Well, is she the Madame or one of the Hos? You can’t be both.
Remember when Beavis and Butt-head tried not to laugh when they took roll call?
JJ - Very funny, JJ.
I like the concept of his porn, but the porn itself I’m not too fond of.
I like my mother, can’t stand my father. Could explain why I’m a Democrat.
I have friends with the last name of Uran1s (someone misspelled it at Ellis Island, supposed to have a J and a G, I think). Father’s name was D1ck, brother’s name Th0r.
