Morrissey Jack Reid? why don't you just name him "GAYMOE Reid"?

Just kidding. I guess.

    I looked at this last night and told my boyfriend that Morrissey was the kid's name. His response, "That's the coolest thing ever."
    brianbibbly [email] said at 10:46 AM 07-12-2005:
    I am not kidding. That is a bad name. The child will be forever scarred. Talk about living under a shadow. A wierd asexual shadow at that.
      brianbibbly [email] said at 10:51 AM 07-12-2005:
      P.S. It seems to me to be more a name to please the mother's pretentious desire to be seen as 'cool' and 'quirky' rather than to benefit the poor kid who will have to carry the burden of his mother's wayward decisions for the rest of his life.

      And the assholishness keeps on rolling. . .

        no one in any of this kid's schools are gonna know who morrissey is. it's not that bad a name, at least it's a name. in CA we get far, far worse... how about Sunshine? Do you know how many Stars I've known? Rainbow? Breeze? Discovery? (he went by Disco, for short) etc etc etc... the timeless awfulness of those names far surprises morrissey jack. he can always choose to go by jack, anyway, if he wants to feel "manly", whatever that is.

        ha!
        amy [email] said at 11:26 AM 07-12-2005:
        that would be the father's pretentious desire....I wanted to name him Bo (Beauregard) from the movie Bus Stop. Daddy's hero is Morrissey, its actually a fine Irish name. That's why his middle name is Jack, in case he needs to hide.

        Most people have no clue who Morrissey is.

        We always knew who the educated were when they knew Flannery OConnor.

          I'll have to give you that, I actually thought about that when posting my original message- the kids in general, at least for his first 10-12 years or so , are pretty unlikely to actually know who morrissey is, just that it's a "weird" name and will still likely taunt him because of it.

          BUT, I'm not one for naming kids "normal" names just because some kid might be a douchebag about it 8 years later. "JASON JEREMY JOHN JAKE SMITH THE 3RD"

        You know, if you call yourself on being an a-hole that doesn't really lessen the blow of what you're saying. It just makes you like a really big, well, you know.
      julie [email] said at 11:26 AM 07-12-2005:
      This is, uh, an incredibly rude thing to say to an expectant mother. Or anyone. Go stand in your time-out corner, dude.
        kara [email] said at 11:44 AM 07-12-2005:
        He's just trying to point it out while there's still time!
        brianbibbly [email] said at 11:48 AM 07-12-2005:
        Who gives a fuck that she is an expectant mother? What, just because her hoo-hoo works I am supposed to give her a pass? What a simpletons way of thinking.
          meredith [email] said at 11:50 AM 07-12-2005:
          Likewise, we're not going to give you a pass on being a rude bastard just because you're ... really there's no reason.
            brianbibbly [email] said at 11:59 AM 07-12-2005:
            I never asked for a pass. I know I am an asshole. I am at peace with my assholishness. Frankly, I don't expect Amy, or her husband, to give two shits about my stated opinion here on this website. I mean, I am just some internet dude who bears absolutely no weight in their decision-making process. Amy must realize, however, that if you go and post ULTRASOUND PICTURES OF YOUR IN VETRO BABY to-be-named MORRISEY, that some critism might result. She simply cannot expect everyone to "oohhh" and "aaahhhh" over this. IF that IS her expectations, then she shouldn't post them on the FRONT PAGE to begin with.

            Thank you and good night.

            no shit. more honesty, less blah. BUT NO ONE HURT MY FEELINGS, OK?!?!??!!!!!!
              reggie [email] said at 3:44 PM 07-12-2005:
              Is it honesty or a schtick?
                zack [email] said at 3:49 PM 07-12-2005:
                well, I guess that's the problem. Some people see it as honesty, some people think it's a schtick. It's probably somewhere in between, but no one will know except the bibbly..
                  reggie [email] said at 3:57 PM 07-12-2005:
                  but no one will know except the bibbly...

                  And if he's smart (and he is) he will NEVER EVER tell.
                  cecil [email] said at 4:05 PM 07-12-2005:
                  schtick makes honesty more palatable. when it works they are one and the same, when it doesn't you confuse the hell out of people.
                    reggie [email] said at 4:47 PM 07-12-2005:
                    It does make it more palatable. But it also detracts from it if Bibs keeps saying "I know I'm an a$$hole" before saying something rude.

                    If he's gonna be a jerk then just go ahead and be a jerk and don't give us disclaimers. THAT's honesty. Otherwise it's like when you're getting to tell someone something you know they don't wanna hear and you preface with a "I don't mean to insult you but..." or following the statement up with "...no hard feelings." What's the point?
                      brianbibbly [email] said at 5:09 PM 07-12-2005:
                      It's not that I am trying to lessen the assholery of my comments, it is that I am preempting the other assholes who feel the need to call me an asshole after I make asshole comments. See? That is what asshole lawyers do. We point out that we are an asshole before you get the chance to call us assholes. That way, your asshole calling isn't quite as assholish and thus, less forceful.

                      Got it asshole?
              julie [email] said at 4:53 PM 07-12-2005:
              Well, I'm all for honesty I guess. I don't know, it just seemed like there was an unnecessary amount of hatery going on towards Flan's future baby brother. I mean, this isn't a dog we're naming/ridiculing. It's a 2nd generation Killogger! Or, if you're considering an abortion, it's just a clump of cells, girl, don't worry about it!

              I thought your comment (Zack) was funny... because you mocked but seemed hesitant. Bibbly just sounds like the kid across the street who runs over and knocks the head off the snowman you just built, for no reason.

              It's cool, y'all. I don't really care. And I know that Amy can take whatever shit you feel like hurling at her baby. Public website and all that. I can cluck my tongue and shake my head at the rudeness in the privacy of my own cubicle from now on.

                brianbibbly [email] said at 5:14 PM 07-12-2005:
                What makes you think I knocked the snowman's head off for no reason? I have a reason. Morrissey is a bad name for a child. That is my reason. If they just decided to name the kid Cliff Burton, I would have no problem with it at all.
                  julie [email] said at 5:17 PM 07-12-2005:
                  I guess I just don't know why any of us should "have a problem with" what Amy wants to name her kid. Do you "have a problem with" the fact that Gwyneth Paltrow named her kid Apple? Or do you just not care, because... it has nothing to do with you. HMMMMMMM.
                    brianbibbly [email] said at 5:19 PM 07-12-2005:
                    Gwyneth Paltrow doesn't post ultrasound pictures of her yet-to-be-born-child or naked pictures of her overly-documented-on-killoggs child on the front page. If she did, then yeah, I probably would be fucking with her too.

                    Besides, I like Apples. I stopped liking Morrissey around 1990.
                      julie [email] said at 5:22 PM 07-12-2005:
                      Okay, gotcha. Well Bibbly, you sure are an ass, but being opinionated about every possible thing at least makes you an interesting ass.

                      My name's Paul, and this is between y'all.

                        This in the second use of 'My name's Paul, and this is between y'all' in the last 7 days. Mine being the first. We need new catch-phrases.
                          julie [email] said at 7:16 PM 07-12-2005:
                          Wow, really? I was afraid you were going to say it was MY second use of the phrase in 7 days. But yes, either way, new catch-phrases seem in order. Is there some random-generator thingie we can use?
                    brianbibbly [email] said at 5:20 PM 07-12-2005:
                    Also, using your logic Julie, none of us would ever post anything on killoggs because, technically, none of it has anything to do with any of us. She posted it here, she wanted commentary, she got it.
                brianbibbly [email] said at 5:17 PM 07-12-2005:
                P.S. The hatery isn't going towards Flans future brother. On the contrary, I am trying to HELP the poor guy. The hatred, if you can call it that, is soley upon Amy. And this isn't the first time.
      kara [email] said at 2:35 PM 07-12-2005:
      Personally, I always wished for a more interesting name.

dammit i hate how moms always talk in weeks. now i gotta do all this math...
    cecil [email] said at 1:18 PM 07-12-2005:
    yeah, and what about the extra days in the month? Are babies born in 9 months or 36 weeks? because there are about 23-24 more days in 9 months than 36 weeks, unless February is one of the months...
