Greatest surname ever?
Lost amongst the fray of Memorial Day weekend, free alt-weeklies and heart-stopping medical bills is a man who just might have the greatest last name of all time. Check out this article from Time Out New York discussing four refugee chefs from New Orleans and scroll down to the third individual profiled in the story. This dude's name is Jimmy "Skippy" Skipwich! As if Skipwich wasn't an incredible enough name on its merits, people still felt the need to bestow him with the equally ridiculous "Skippy" as a nickname! How the writer failed to point out the incredibleness of this development is simply beyond me. Imagine your last name was fucking Skipwich! That's literally a combination of two of my favorite things in the world! (Scott photo c/o Pete, because if I don't say anything he'll throw a hissy fit.)

that is a cool name: I read in an Ayn Rand book she had a character named "Skinny Dix." I thought that was fucking rad. I've also wanted to have two cats: one named Woofer and one named Tweeter. These are dreams I've had.
What about the last name Dixwell. Ah, that's a good one. My cousin married a guy named Harry Seaman. Nasty, right?
Can you please send me the photo for the merry man in the background of the photo?
Dammit, dude, you so this every time. Just link to my flickr site. It's not hard.
