Posted Feb 19, 2004 by clzoomer- "The TV business is a cruel and shallow money trench. A long plastic hallway where pimps and thieves run free and good men die like dogs. There is also a negative side."
Work with Robin Hood, dated Marion Christmas, have a friend who owns a car body shop who's name is Mr. Dent, went to a dentist named Dr. Payne, been to a Vietnamese restaurant called Pho King Ho, shopped at a retail/commercial shop called Foo King Restaurant Supply, heard of someone called Wa Ter Mark.

Seriously.

Michael Jackson is a far more common combination of names than people realise...

..I know none of them, but Michael Jackson is variably

i) an American entertainer with an interest in the welfare of young boys;

ii)a British Army general;

iii) the controller of BBC2 TV.

And thinking about it, I know a Sinead O'Connor with a full and lovely head of hair; the worst of it is, her father's called Desmond....

In the Army I knew the one recruit soldier who was called by his first name by drill sergeants and sergeant-majors.

Well, imagine a drill-sergeant bellowing accross the parade ground

"COME HERE AT THE DOUBLE, DARLING!"

nope, doesn't do any good for the essential machismo of the position... so he was "Michael" to the DS.

Mike Darling was a damn fine bloke, btw...

In Las Vegas, Nevada, there is a Buzzard Eye Institute, whom I would prefer not to go digging about in my eyes. In Dallas, Texas, there is a recently renamed hospital, the R. E. Dedman Medical Center, now just the RED medical center. At one point, I thought about going into Veterinary Medicine, and was going to change my middle name to Oscar so I could have "Dr. D.O. Little" on the door.winkeye
