You know the sad part is they were probably traded in for a pack a smokes. Whats even sadder is Kayla running around with frozen toes! :(

Let's have a little faith in humanity that it was a duplicated gift brought back because she didn't need em.  :)

Yea if gram and gramps happen upon those, whaddya think she gets next year?...I will say... maybe an easy bake oven! Nah to steep.

Dang it, I need a laugh right now and I can't see your photo. My damn internet filter at work blocks all photos linked from photo hosting websites. 

:angry:

Somebody draw the photo in ASCII for me  :P

My cousin has three daughters.....Kelby, Kiley, and Keeley. It's ridiculous.

I don't think SavannahLion has ever been to Oklahoma.  There's a flat out obsession with putting some variation of 'Lynn' in every girl's name, at least amongst my wife's gigantic family.  One of them named her daughter after a man by slapping Lynn at the end of it (Scott -> Scottlin or something like that).

 :-\


So what? At least they didn't name their kid Adolf like the Jersey couple.

That occurs at any largish grocery store. only difference is Walmart employees aren't paid enough to care and clean it up. Hell it was probably an employee that left it.

Our college has a guy named Adolf.  Fairly young, too, maybe early 40s.  Communications teacher.  I had him for my speech class.  Pretty funny.  He is also a lawyer, and was the mayor of the city of Hamilton, Ohio for a short time as well.

OK, so I am disgruntled slacker when it comes to my job. I work at the corporate office for a national restaurant chain. After reading this thread, I got curious of how many people have Lyn or Lynn in their first or middle name. I ran a report of all our employees and pulled the employees with a Lynn or Lynn variant in their name, and made a percentage of employees with this name. This "Lynn rate" is only a sample of people 16 or older (working age), and is primarily employees age 16-28. The national Lynn rate I came up with is 4.49%, but what is more interesting is when I broke it down by state.  ;D

Most states I have a very large sample size, but a there are a few zero states because we are not well represented in those states.

It wasn't the fact they named him Adolf- his actual middle name was Hitler.

In other words - "PinballJim was right"

 :cheers:

Yeah, I have statistically proven that PinballJim was right.

Wait. Is that a good thing?  :dunno

poor kids, no offense or anything, but man, those names are TERRIBLE. I would let my mom know she was getting sent off to a nursing home if I was named something like that. Ugh. I dont have that little barf emote but if I did, it would be right here... Kelby? Really? Keeley sounds like skeevy to me. Reminds me of it anyway.

and the pic is great btw.
Pictures are overrated anyway.

No not really. But that's ok. He gloats even when he's wrong.

I count six variations of *lyn* of the 100 most common female names for that state in 2009. I count 7 for *ley more for phonetically similar names such as *lee.

So what? At least they didn't name their kid Adolf like the Jersey couple.

Give Caitlyn and Kyler a hug for me when you get home.

Sure, want me to say hello to your wife while I'm there?
