Suri, the name chosen by Hollywood couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes for their newborn daughter, is raising more than its share of interest in Israel. It means "get out of here" in the local language, Hebrew.

Crab People...Crab People!!!!
Really? Get outta here! [Sorry.]
But... what about the poor clams! All those billions of clam-engrams infesting us all!
I heard that they didn't know how to pronounce "STFU" so they settled on "Suri".
Tom has turned *gumba*?? Geddouddaheah!!
Their next child will be named "Fuggedaboudit"
Not on board a ship?
Cruise is on the fringe so maybe 'Suri with a fringe for apop'
isn't all that out of order..
