Double Feature!

It's always a lovely morning when you get two heavy hits of brain-melting stupidity first thing.

Lisa said this morning that she hates slang, yet called one of her friends "boo" on the cellphone. Apparently if she says it, it's a real word?

Lots of people get saddled with unfortunate childhood nicknames. Shorty. Tubby. Skippy. The list goes on and on, but at some point a little part of the brain kicks in and goes "hey, it's going to be pretty ridiculous going into a job interview and saying 'yes, I'm Dave, but everyone calls me Speedy McGee'." So the holder of the moniker simply asks/insists that people cease and desist.

At some point Lisa received the nickname 'Peaches'. Whatever that part of the brain which recognizes absolute ridiculousness is, it's obviously underdeveloped in her. How do I know? Well other than every other post on this blog, she still has people calling her 'Peaches'. Not just family and close friends either.
