Amy

Why can't it just be spelled normally anymore? Well, I should specify that this applies to the west coast, mainly. I usually spend the last half of my shift speaking with fuzzy hippies from the pacific northwest, and I have seen some truly ridiculous ways to spell names. But the title name up there is the worst, Bar None.

Some examples:

Amee

Aimee

Amey

Amye

And my personal favorite:

Aymeie

And these are all pronounced like the title above. All of them. Every last pretentious one of them. Why do parents do this? I don't understand what is to gain from this, other than years of unnecessary torment from the child's peers, and snotty pretention when they grow up. I do not understand why parents would intentionally aim their child down a path of fart-huffing douchebaggery. I guess these are just the same kids whose names I've always hated, just grown up. 

I think I'll blow this one out MY ass.

The Great Race Question...

As a white guy, is it okay for me to hate Tyler Perry? Of course my hatred has nothing to do with his race. It has to do with him being the most overrated hack in pop culture. The man is a conveyor belt of shit. I had the misfortune to watch a few episodes of House of Payne recently. The show is one long fried chicken joke. Amos n Andy was more politically correct. It's modern day minstrelsy without any sense of irony.

I just realized that nothing else I have to say on this subject will sound even remotely acceptable to my sensitive audience, so I'm giving this up before I have to deal with unending KKK jokes.
