Doctor Grumpy in the House: "It's the family name, son. Try to live up to it."

"It's the family name, son. Try to live up to it."

I don't know what else to say. Just read it.

Thank you, Webhill!

Old MD Girl said...: I have known a number of people with unfortunate last names. Butt, Cockburn, Peniston. Nobody named Moron though. At least his name isn't R3tard.; January 27, 2011 at 11:20 AM

legalalien said...: Haha, surely this is like Bart Simpson's pranks. When things seem too good to be true, I usually think they are.

BTW, oldMDgirl, there is a fantastic port label also called Cockburn, and the English (British) pronounciation is Co-burn (as in co-ed). Doesn't make it sound as silly as 'a cupful of cockburn'!; January 27, 2011 at 12:30 PM

Seriously, you know they had to have done it on purpose. They could have said, "Police searching for stalker" or something.; January 27, 2011 at 3:32 PM

thegooddrlaura said...: There is an ICD-9 code for "moron" - 317. It was an antiquated term for mild mental retardation, IQ 50 - 70.

If the ICD-9 code fits....; January 29, 2011 at 10:52 PM
