Name Change Should Stop The Snickers
Chicago Sun Times ^ | 1/16/2006 | STEVE PATTERSON

Fuk King Kwok was waiting for his driver's license to be printed when his name was called and a chuckling Illinois secretary of state employee offered some advice.

"She [said] this is a dangerous name," the Chinese immigrant recalled. "She [said] the name translated is not so good, maybe I should change [it]. The word I hear is not so good."

Not so good, indeed.

The leading gymnast on the Chinese mens team for the 2000 Olympics in Sydney was (I kid you not...) Huang Xu (wrong shoe). I was asking my kids - "Does he have any brothers named Jim or Gum?".

I got two five-packs of socks and I've only had the tagline for about six days.

I've got four more left. ;-)

The unanswered question, Dash, is whether that's ALL she's wearing.

And I ain't asking it.

Nah, I'd get all the way there and you'd be wearing a hat, too.

(Wasn't there a song about that?)
