Move over Stormhammer Deathclaw Firebrand, you’ve just been beaten handily in the quest to have the world’s weirdest name.   You may as well go back to being Richard Smith, because the former Austin Kettle (which is already kind of a funny name to begin with) has now changed her name to Mrs. Lorraine Darla I Hate Thomas Cook And Its Associates Big Shot Company Treading on the Little Guy Leeks.  Thomas Cook is a travel agency in the UK, not an individual.  So what’s got Mrs. Blah Blah Blah so angry?

Well, she wanted to book a trip to Gambia for her honeymoon.  She booked it under her married name, but realized she wouldn’t have time to get her passport and whatnot all sorted out.  When she called Thomas Cook, the agents she talked to said that if she had to change her booking, she’d get charged a fee.  Rather than just pay the fee like a reasonable person, she flipped out and had her name changed to badmouth Thomas Cook and other big shot companies that tread on the little guy.  It’s a perfectly reasonable, totally sane reaction that shouldn’t fill her husband with complete dread at the idea that he’s married a total nutter.

How does this punish the company?  Err, well… everyone who has to type out the name Mrs. Lorraine Darla I Hate Thomas Cook And Its Associates Big Shot Company Treading on the Little Guy Leeks is pretty inconvenienced?  And she’s getting them all this negative publicity via her craziness?

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
