That there is some world-class kitsch Meet William James Dean and Sarah Dean -- or Daniel Lane Dean and Priscilla Dawn or Priscilla Baer or Pastor Victoria Dawn. They have so many names! But for very good reasons! “I just didn’t like it, I didn’t like his name because they called him Dan and I just didn’t see him as a Dan," Sarah Dean said. "And he thought that it was because I prayed about it and I got an answer, but no, I honestly wanted him to be a William. And I told him, you have to be a William. I didn’t like his name and all these complications that went with me thinking of him being a Dan and I’m just like, ‘I’m over this.’”

And what is the most common response to discovering you're dead?
Well, ain't this some shit?
That was in a conversation between L. Ron Hubbard and Isaac Asimov at the 1956 World Science Fiction Convention, as witnessed by Harlan Ellison.
Considering it was science fiction authors at a science fiction convention, it may have very well taken place in a bar.
I can't handle reading that. I'm a quart low and the blood doesn't come quite up to my brain now.

Heyo!
Well, jeez, now I have to kill you.
I used to worship at the altar of the Holy Trinity of Walsh, Montana and Rice but now it's Curry, Thompson, Green, Durant and Kerr.

Breast cancer. It's a real bitch.
