As most of you probably already know, famous boxer/grill inventor George Foreman has five sons, all named George Foreman (he also has five daughters, one of whom is named Georgetta, but they are not what concerns me right now). That being said, I just feel the need to vent. WTF George Foreman!? WTF!? I mean aside from just being utterly ridiculous, would not the sheer impracticability of giving five of your children the same name deter you from doing such a thing? Did you not once consider the unnecessary confusion that calling your house would entail (i.e.: “I’d like to speak to George.”)? There are literally thousands of names in the English language to choose from, hundreds of thousands if you count the world, millions if you count those pseudo-hippie names, like Rain, or Misty, hundreds of millions if you just start using “name” loosely and call your kids inanimate objects, like chair, or camera, and you came up with George every. single. time. I don’t know if that speaks to an incredible lack of imagination on your part, or just an immense, pathological laziness, but what you have done, Mr. Foreman, really, seriously irks me. That being said, I plan to name my children Wally and The Beave, just because that would never get old.
Yours Truly,
