When _I_ was a teenager, I knew a Candy Barr. Now, I know a Carol Christmas.
If Brit thinks she has problems now (she was quoted in yesterday's paper
that she thinks "it is actually normal for a young girl to go out after a
huge divorce")it's a good think her nickname wasn't Pickle.
And FWIW, were someone to have a name Samuel Ulysses Lawrence Ewell, it
might be pronounced Sam Ewe El Ewe El Ewe El.

When I was a teenager, I once met a girl named "Emma Hoare." Now, I've
recently met "Anita Hooker."
Some parents are absolutely merciless.
