Holy F*cking Sh!t

Us.ef.ul - A beginner’s guide to The Next Big Thing

Film

After reading this pretty typical Top 20 DVD list for the year, I scrolled to the bottom to find 15 other lists that may open my eyes to something new this year. Also, Mark Palermo has listed 175 films of 2004 in order so you don’t have to.

Stupid Baby Names

Some may see this as a new low, but I can’t help it if parents are stupid enough to label there kids with such silly handles…and publish it in a newspaper. It’s not like I am making fun of how stupid many of them look. That would be cruel.

Here are some dandy ones:

* Cash Bartholomew Bertolo

* Maximilian Logan Butler

* Connor John Joseph Cool

* Ayla Laurine Pearl Hogg-Chasbassol

* Logan William Kenneth Leigh Stewart

I also noticed a pattern of frigging up the spelling (I am one to talk) of normal names like these: Emyleigh, Emilee, Rebekah, Rebekkah, Sydnee, and Madyson. Also, the mash-up is popular, like Rylan, and I also gave bonus points to someone for naming their child Autumn Pilgrim.
