    I'm not a golfer, but at least a couple of those sound like golf clubs. No idea why I think that.

    There should be a law against parents giving their children really stupid names. Kids get enough hazing from their peers without having a ridiculous name hung like a dead albatross around their necks. I shudder to think what little X Æ A-12 Musk will cop when he goes to school.
    It's not new, either. The prophet Isaiah named his son Maher Shelal Hash-baz, which is bad enough until you realise what it means in Hebrew, which is worse. And Job didn't get nearly the kicking around he deserved for naming a baby girl Kerrenhappuch. This post was edited by Slartibartfast at October 1, 2022 12:48 AM MDT

    All golf clubs... before being infected with the drive to reduce everything to bland numbers!

    All devices used to exterminate gophers by hitting them on the head with small, hard, round objects in ballistic trajectory.
