"I don't think you're legally required to give your kid a last name."

vvvexation: Y'know, of all the people who'd give their kids just one name, I don't know any who'd pick "Bob."
saizai: But it's so beautiful...in a sick, corrupt kind of way.

(This stemmed from a discussion of surnames that ensued when a piece of junk mail arrived at our new apartment addressed to one Ephraim Swanson-Dusenbury (whose roommate was apparently named Craig Creamer). We proceeded to envision still more evil names that one could inflict on a child, such as "God" and "Mary Sue Bob Ezekiel" and "Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" and "/null" and "*~-" and [Bronx cheer] and [glottal stop] and the entire first chapter of Genesis.)
