Right. Puking old people are the worst!

Especially when you get a bunch of them together, and they're all like, "*BAAARRRFFF! YAAAKKK!! HOOORRRKKK!!!*"

And then they're all like, "Are those my dentures? No, wait...give that back! Not the upper. No, NOT the upper. The upper is Fran's, I think. Just the lower. The LOWER! Jesus fucking Christ. Here...hold on a sec...is this your hearing aid? I said, IS THIS YOUR HEARING AID?! Ok. OK. GOOD! What? NO, I do NOT have a speech problem. I just can't find my upper. I said, I CAN'T FIND MY GODDAMN UPPER!"

Ultimately, however, puking robots put a strain on the repair care industry, and thus represent a back-end fiscal burden that outweighs the higher wages demanded up front by non-puking robots.

It was. Can any of us forget the First Time we saw it? I know I can't.

The name thing is an ongoing mystery to me as a high school teacher. But Anakin would be better than the absolutely ridiculous spelling pretzels parents twisted themselves into 14-18 years ago to avoid giving their precious little one the exact same fashionable name as every other little one born that decade. Thus, we have god knows how many variations on Megan and Caitlin, especially. because the alternative of giving a child a less popular and yet perfectly good name was simply not possible. No one imagines, ok, when my baby girl is a lawyer, is Brittanee going to be a good name for her? No.I am dreading grandmotherhood and the names my daughters-in-law choose.

I knew a couple who named their kid Zephram Cochrane, just because "The world should have one of those in it." No pressure.

For the ultimate example of idiot "parents" naming a child there is TriG Paxton Van Palin. TriG is the abbreviation for the genetic disease he was born with and they admit the "van" was a joke. Because the did didn't have enough working against him.

A friend taught kindergarten and had a class where every boy was named "Jason" or "Joshua".
