Well, certainly one heck of a lot more appropriately named than my film school cinematography professor, Peter Cock.

In elementary school, I had a VERY gay gym teacher named Mr. Horny.

For a second, I thought that said "Peter Cook".

BTW, "Tommie Tune" is his real name. I sh*t you not. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Tune.

Is it true that Tommy Tune really didn't break his leg during the previews of Busker Alley? I heard that he faked it cuz he knew he would have gotten really bad reviews and cancelled the Broadway engagement.

If that's true, why didn't he break something to get out of "Doctor Dolittle?

By the way, while we're on the subject, I went to high school with girl who's last name was Hoar. I couldn't tell you if she was though.

Hey, slow news day.

Speaking of Hoar, there's a girl in my school with a last name Hore. I think she's like, Vietnamese or something.

Also, my mom knew a lady named Pearl Whitebutt.

My music teacher in the 5th grade was Mr. Musicus and my homeroom teacher in the 6th grade was Mr. Dickar, no joke.

I had friends in high school named Mickey and Minnie Mess. And another named Cinderella. THIS is what happens when little kids are allowed to name their baby brothers. "Aw, Jeeze, why CAN'T we call him Thumper?"

My boyfriend's old voice coach's last name was Capella. How appropriate!

I once knew a kid named Everest. Guess where his parents were 9 months prior to his birth. Ouch.

A friend of mine knew someone who's mother forgot, yes FORGOT to name her. Her name is now Female, pronounced like Tamale.

Mr. Humma Tune and his lovely wife Happy Tune anounce the birth of their son, Tommy...

Catchy Tune.

I had a Math teacher named Mr. King who wanted to name a prospective son Lee. He eneded up having a girl (phew).

I went to high school with a boy named Michael Angelo.

My favorite though, is when the ESOL teacher in our High School, Mrs. Amigo, left, and they replaced her with Mrs. Friend.
