Jethro?
YEEEEEEE-HAAAAAA!
My mate's mother was unsure whether to call him after Mark Bolan or another obscure singer called Colin somethin-or-other. Bolan lost.

Matt Timson · 06 December, 2002, 06:25:06 PM

"Bolan lost"

Unlucky...

JayzusB.Christ · 06 December, 2002, 06:36:58 PM

True. Still, though, he did better than the Bolan lad's own son, Rolan.

Gary, Indiana rings a bell from somewhere - it's either mentioned in Stupid White Men or Fast Food Nation, so presumably nothing good is said about it...

N.B. Has anyone mentioned Garry Bushell yet?

Matt Timson · 06 December, 2002, 06:40:48 PM

"True. Still, though, he did better than the Bolan lad's own son, Rolan."

Yeah- what kind of idiot would do that to his own kid?!? Somebody who couldn't see the wood for the trees, that's who...

Ha.

Two words: Zowie Bowie...

Queen Firey-Bou · 06 December, 2002, 07:12:52 PM

Kid bowie samurai ? wow, at least its not Kid Gary Samurai.

JayzusB.Christ · 06 December, 2002, 07:33:51 PM

'Somebody who couldn't see the wood for the trees, that's who... '

Ohhhhhhh, you vicious bastid.
The saddest thing is, last I heard Mark's son was in a hip-hop band called 'Rolan Bolan and the Brotherhood of Bounce'. It's not something to be proud of, Roly boy.
And Zowie Bowie (who inspired the name Rolan Bolan) is now called Joe Bowie. I thought Zowie was alright.
What about Bob Geldof's daughter, Fifi Trixabelle? And Frank Zappa's son Moon Unit? You're LUCKY you're called Gary.

"And Frank Zappa's son Moon Unit"

Daughter, actually. His son's called Dweezil.

When someone once suggested to Zappa that it was a bit cruel namimg his kids things like Dweezil or Moon Unit, he replied,
"Well, some people call their kids Frank!"

Matt Timson · 06 December, 2002, 07:48:35 PM

"Ohhhhhhh, you vicious bastid."

Yeah, but only on Thursday to Wednesday...

JayzusB.Christ · 06 December, 2002, 07:53:04 PM

'Daughter, actually. His son's called Dweezil.'

Ah, well that's alright, then.

Quirkafleeg · 06 December, 2002, 08:11:07 PM

Surprised no ones mentioned Gareth "I'm a tiger!" Cheesman yet...

Oh and Gary In. home of the Miss USA pagent, which I'm sure featured in Moore's TV show so my bets on for Stupid White Men, which I really must though I know it'll make me very angry
