Sunbeam Bass
Did you here about the inventor that just changed his name to "They".
No last name. Just "They". He said he wants to be the "They" that is
always talked about. Like, "They are all going to laugh at me". Now I
have heard of weird names before and "They" is definitely one of them,
but no one has heard of this guy I knew in college. His legal name was
"The Mad Hatter". He ran a magic cards shop outside of campus.
Obviously the store was called "Mad Hatters". His drivers license
said "The Mad Hatter" on it. He even ran for mayor of Lubbock and had
fliers that said "Vote The Mad Hatter". I guess technically his first
name was "The". He could probably sue "They" for plagiarism - being a
pronoun and all. I always wondered why he didn't always wear a hat. I
figured if your going to change your name you might as well act the
part. If memory serves me correct the mad hatter was a bunny in Alice
in wonderland. I figure he would dress up as a bunny and run around
and say "I'm late, I'm late". I guess he didn't like his real name.
Now I wouldn't think about changing my name. I figure when I get
married I'll do my damage on the kids names. Maybe name them after
planets like "Venus" and "Jupiter". I knew these kids who lived on our
block named "Sky" and "Stormy" - apparently their parents were
hippies. I could pick some cool hippy names like "Shadow" and
"Sunbeam". Eh, I think I'll stick with the old standby, "John"
instead.
Thought of the Day
"I defy you to come up with a better name than Seven."
"Alright, let's see... How about Mug? Mug Costanza. That's original.
Or Ketchup. Pretty name for a girl."
"Alright... You having a good time now?"
"I've got fifty right here in the cupboard... How about Bisquick?
Pimento? Gherkin? Sauce? Maxwell House?"
"Alright already!!"

Are you sure "The Mad Hatter" was a character in "Alice in Wonderland?" There is a villian in Batman mythos with the same name. He wears a big top hat. I guess that says something sad about me. I know more about comic book heroes than classic literature.
