That's Big-boo-TAY!

Not quite that limited a selection, but my daughter got her first name from the high school teacher who inspired my wife to go into teaching, and her middle name from my grandmother. My son's first and middle names came from pastors of congregations I've attended.

Yes.

Neither, thankfully.

My daughter is named Charlotte, but it was after one of my wife's high school teachers, not the city in North Carolina. Still, I'm thinking of getting her a Bobcats road jersey so she'll be able to brag that she's got a uni with her name on it. And seeing if Good Charlotte's website has T-shirts in kid sizes.

@Kalimotxo: Well, his head is inside a bullet-proof pickle jar. I don't know about the rest of him.

Agnes. We need more kids named Agnes too. And Horatio.

And that's why I named my son Mahershalalhashbaz!

@Qwijibo: you were named after Dick Cheney? Bummer.

We need more Eunices and Floras in the world, too.

@Merk: any relation to Ubastard Anderson?

@The Name: A friend of mine told me about going to school with a Chinese girl named Mi Suk Yu. She went by Mia for short.

I've been thinking for years that the best thing for Pacino's career would be Jack Kevorkian. But not quite this way.

Is it just me?
Or would this interview have been more interesting if they'd translated Benigni's responses from the original Martian?

Still waiting for the technology to catch up so he can make "D4 — IN 4-D!"

You say "self-important pretentious assholery" like it's a bad thing.

True. But Estevez still has sex with other men.

I myself was bothered with Charlotte Gainsburg as the left-handed S-piece, especially when she dropped and chopped off those two lines … you know the scene I mean …

Better her than Kirstie Alley, though …

As would the Mentos guy getting stomped by an elephant. Maybe Lars von Trier will direct that one …
