Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for March 04, 2018

At least he isn’t 7 3/8.

There was a character in several of Kenneth Robert’s books wh was usually called Cap Huff. At one point he explained that his name was Saved From Captivity Huff. I have no idea if there ever was such a name in history but it is hard to forget that one.

Coulda been worse, coulda been: Eleanor, inspector #42

…but he’s blessed that it’s 42!

You think he’s got it bad? What about his sister, 4X Beaver.

My favorite still is Nosmo King. His mom couldn’t speak English but wanted to give him an American name. She read it off a sign near the fire extinguisher.

Lucky he was not called ’don’t pull off this tag under penalty of law’

My father once told me that he went to school with a kid named “Coat ’n Apparel.”
