RIP to the woman.

"Play fighting" is pretty stupid, and I can only assume there was a lot of drinking involved. I have known many people who go sort of crazy when it involves "my birthday." It really is a celebration of yourself, and I have to say I hate my own birthday. I don't like the attention at all.

Passionate Chonvill. There’s a good name to give your kid

My daughter works in a hospital, and comes home with stories of the outrageous names given to children. Hint: not all the wild stories about mothers giving infants names of bodily functions or hospital jargon they overhear in the hospital are Snopes legends.

'Black' Names A Resume Burden?

Most are, according to the Freakonoics authors, who put out a bounty for evidence of those like “lemonjello,” etc.

It’s always someone who knows someone who worked at the hospital. (These hospital folks are pulling your leg).

When one of my kids was born a lady in the hospital told my wife that the nurses had named her little girl. Said they named her “Fa-mal-ee” (The baby’s bracelet had “female” on it.)

Another story is a lady said she got the name of her son out of the sleepwear section of the Sears catalog. She’d named her son “Paa-gim-mus”. (pajamas)

I remember a story a few years ago of a newly married couple walking into their honeymoon hotel room. She gave a running leap onto the bed and bounced right through the window down six stories.

It was a very sad story, but when you think of it ...funny too...
