Chrissays
Oh, great, I must delurk… The Palins named their kids based on names of local towns. I was born not far from Cristobal and Colon (and there is an accent mark on the first “o” in Cristobal, and the second “o” on Colon… I have no idea how to put them in, to give you all a clue, I was born in the same general area as John McCain, http://www.czbrats.com/), just a few minutes before Oct. 12. To clarify, I was named on Christopher Columbus Day not far from a pair of towns named after what Columbus actually called himself.
While I really, really, REALLY hate the name Christina (hey, I’m over 50, that “a” at the end caused too much confusion!… though it does allow me to not help fill in the blanks when I introduce myself as “Chris”, because I can truthfully say “My name is not Christine”.)… I am so glad I was not named “Cristabella” !!!
Quidamsays

I’ve been considering the Palin phenomenum. I believe I understand why so many right wing Republicans are enthusiastic about her:
a) McCain wasn’t right-wing enough;
b) He wasn’t beholden to the Christian right like Bush was, and;
c) wasn’t willing to put his foot in a liberal’s ass the way Bush was.
They are deliberately looking past McCain at his VP because they see another Bush II who is a puppet for the VP and power brokers behind the scenes. McCain now supports the conservative agenda.

Louissays
Gravel Blood Palin is my Delta Tau Chi name apparently (or is that from a different work of fiction).
And on a separate note, surely there is one other thing to like about Sarah Palin, she is kinda sexy after all. Does that make me a bad person? I might disagree with her politics and religion, but she is nice looking. Why am I now thinking of that website about fucking Ann Coulter? Surely the Palin version would be more pleasant. After all, Palin seems to be a much nicer person than Ann. The policies don’t seem all that difference, but at least she’d destroy your civil liberties and institute theocracy with nice make up and a winning smile.
Sadly, as someone a) concerned with the issues and not the packaging and b) not resident in the USA, this unfortunate and tawdry desire on my part would not affect my vote, even if I had one!
It’s kind of depressing when having conversations with friends/family that many of them seem unable to get past the “but I’m like them so I’ll vote for them” mentality and deal with the issues. Sarah Palin may have a lot in common with many of her fellow Americans, but sadly her stances on the issues of the day are practically neolithic. Ergo, she is a great marketing tool but sadly not the thinking man’s choice of candidate or crumpet.

Molly, NYCsays
Seagull Junker Palin here.
You know Guiliani’s BS that somebody–anybody?–suggested Palin shouldn’t be VP because she’s a mother?
Rudy? It isn’t that she’s a mother. It’s that, from all indications, she’s a lousy mother.
Palin is a governor. That’s actually a pretty big deal, even in a place as apparently casual about such things as Alaska. She has a family income in the neighborhood of $200k plus perks, which means that even if she weren’t governor, she’d have at least middle-class resources.
So how come her two eldest aren’t going to college? Think about it–if they were your kids and you had those kinds of assets, they’d probably be college-bound, no? Even if they were the most screwed-up kids on the planet, Palin could get them into the U of Alaska tomorrow with a phone call. But she won’t do that much for her own kids (and she’s clearly not above using her office for personal reasons).
And good families go to some pains to see that their kids aren’t screwed-up. Here’s what Palin did to Bristol: Took her out of school last year (long before the pregnancy), turned her into the primary caregiver for Palin’s own special-needs baby, and is now marrying her off to some loser. As for Track–if my boy announced that he was enlisting, my ex-husband and I would bury our differences and take turns sitting on him until he changed his mind; some parents have pulled guns on recruiters who approached their kids. And under Bush, Army careers have become so bleak that they attract only those with not-great alternatives, So why doesn’t a governor’s son have better alternatives?
Palin likes to imply that she’s got this typical American family, and her family matters are being handled in a typical American way. But they’re only typical for people who are dead broke and have no idea that there’s anything better. Most parents want (as part of the American Dream) for their kids to have fuller lives than their own.
Why doesn’t Palin?
negentropyeatersays
Askyroth,
most probably just the usual troll pretending to be someone he isn’t.
I just reacted to his comment at face value, there seems to be this rampant attack on Obama, that he has exploited a kind of cult of followers.
So if a dem is not charismatic enough, like Kerry, they’ll say he “doesn’t connect with people”. If he is, they’ll say he thinks he’s Jesus Christ.
As usual, the right wing noise machine prefers to spread this kind of disinformation, which people like “homo-my-a**” pick up, and avoid at all cost to have a rational debate about the issues.
Apparently, in the last few weeks of the campaign, 98% of all news was about the horse race, and 2% about the issues.
No wonder people like homo are representative of a significant portion of the electorate.
The more I observe this election, the more I’m disgusted, mind you, the fact that the American public accepts this and focusses so much on what’s irrelevant, is probably the number one sign of the decline of the empire.
Wowbaggersays
What we’re hearing in Australia (from the US media) is that McCain is now leading in the polls – and while I don’t necessarily believe that’s the truth, that isn’t the point. What is important is that the US public (and, I guess, the rest of the world) are being led to believe that it’s close.
That way, when the Republicans use the same dirty tricks they used to win the last two elections, it’ll seem like the ‘reasonable outcome’ of a ‘close race’ and that’ll be the end of it – because there’s no way the media will play it any other way.
I don’t want to see a third straight republican president. The rest of the world doesn’t deserve that any more than you guys do.
negentropyeatersays
The rest of the world doesn’t deserve that any more than you guys do.
One would assume that the fact that Obama is immensly more popular than McCain in the rest of the world (especially amongst the USA’s traditional allies, Europe, Japan, Canada and Australia) would be an advantage for Obama if this election were about a rational debate.
But it turns out that for the republican voters, this is a reason not to vote for Obama and to be more supportive of McCain (how could the interests of the USA’s key allies be the same as those of Americans ?), and for the independent voters, this is not a relevant argument (who cares about what the rest of the world prefers, Americans need to decide on their own, that’s freedom).

I’m not entirely convinced that if America continues to follow 4 more years of the same irresponsible economic and foreign policies as during the last 8 years, that it doesn’t start correcting the disastrous effects on its society of religiosity, ultra-capitalism, consumerism, exceptionalism, and colonialism, in brief, that Americans continue to refuse to adapt to a new environment, that it will be that bad for other developped nations and the rest of the world.
If Americans refuse to adapt to a changing world, this will surely precipitate their decline, it can indeed cause great havoc for the rest of the world on the short term, but not necessarily on the long term.
I’m quite convinced that if Americans elect McPalin, this will have more disastrous consequences for them, than for us.

(Disclaimer: the one and only thing I like at all about Palin is that she gave her kids unusual names.)

And the bad thing is,noone,absolutely noone,calls her out on this sham.
Am I the only person who’s noticed that the whole family treats the youngest baby like an inanimate prop? Small wonder she names her kids after random objects.

Clinteas – A lot of families’ teenage kids experiment with drugs, and most families’ teenage kids have sex. And if handled badly, these adventures can really screw up your life.
Parents who love their kids will move Heaven and freaking Earth to keep that sort of thing from happening.
Palin, on the other hand, seems to be of the “you made your bed, slut, now lie in it–forever” persuasion.
That’s how she apparently treats her own kids. You can imagine how she’d handle a Katrina-grade disaster.
I only associate the word “roadster” with Nancy Drew, so…weird images…Anyway, I’m Canadian and I can’t vote in your election, but I can personally tell you that is McCain/Palin win, I will be looking into purchasing some property VERY VERY FAR from the border.

Pimientita, your last name isn’t Potts, is it? If it is say hello to Mr. Stark for me.
I wish! :)
I have to say that the comments I get on my name have much improved since Ironman was released. I did get some references to the character from fellow comic book nerds before the movie came out, but they were few and far between. It’s a nice change of pace from the typical “Hehe…where’s salt?” *rolleyes*
I can usually tell whether I am going to like someone based on how they comment on my name. So good job, tim! We’re probably going to get along famously!
Owlmirrorsays
Ahem.
Pepper’s given first names were Pippin Galadriel Moonchild. […]
There are only two ways a child can go with a name like Pippin Galadriel Moonchild, and Pepper had chosen the other one: the three male Them had learned this on their first day of school, in the playground, at the age of four.
They had asked her her name, and, all innocent, she had told them.
Subsequently a bucket of water had been needed to separate Pippin Galadriel Moonchild’s teeth from Adam’s shoe. Wensleydale’s first pair of spectacles had been broken, and Brian’s sweater needed five stitches.
The Them were together from then on, and Pepper was Pepper forever […]
I’m just sayin’, is all.

David Marjanović @ #134,
Pervert? Me? Yes. Again, you say this like it’s a BAD thing. Perversion is nummy. Not only does reality have the liberal bias you mention, it also has a kinky bias. Even some conservatives have wide stances and a penchant for male escorts and crystal meth, and that’s more perverted than even I am capable of.
That’s why conservatives are so apparently down on sex. Banning stuff makes it naughtier and thus more fun. Imagine all that emotional guilt based frisson when the 19 year old, illegal immigrant, identical, Chinese, twin girls you bought from your arms dealer friend (who are spanking you with a rolled up copy of anything by Adam Smith) call you a very dirty daddy before pegging you rigid with a splintery broom handle strap on covered with tabasco, and then decide to give you a girl on girl on boy piss fest and mutual fist-a-thon whilst snorting coke off a pile of gay men’s cocks shortly after these gents have performed what can only be described as a human demonstration of the principle underlying Da Vinci’s helicopter.
….but enough about my weekend….
My point is that these perverts LIKE banning stuff so they get extra thrills. If all this good sexual shennanigans and general unethical rubbish were allowed, no one would enjoy it and the world would be vanilla.
It’s a nice change of pace from the typical “Hehe…where’s salt?” *rolleyes*
Well <extra-sober look>, unfortunately I can answer this question. I can tell you where Salt is. He’s a creationist troll who occasionally visits Pharyngula — not often enough to be banned. :-| Probably believes he’s the salt of the earth…

Oh, great, I must delurk… The Palins named their kids based on names of local towns. I was born not far from Cristobal and Colon (and there is an accent mark on the first “o” in Cristobal, and the second “o” on Colon… I have no idea how to put them in, to give you all a clue, I was born in the same general area as John McCain, http://www.czbrats.com/), just a few minutes before Oct. 12. To clarify, I was named on Christopher Columbus Day not far from a pair of towns named after what Columbus actually called himself.
While I really, really, REALLY hate the name Christina (hey, I’m over 50, that “a” at the end caused too much confusion!… though it does allow me to not help fill in the blanks when I introduce myself as “Chris”, because I can truthfully say “My name is not Christine”.)… I am so glad I was not named “Cristabella” !!!
Quidam says
Palin’s choice of names makes more sense when you realize that they are where the kids were CONCEIVED.

I’m another Rock Crane Palin.
I’ve been considering the Palin phenomenum. I believe I understand why so many right wing Republicans are enthusiastic about her:
a) McCain wasn’t right-wing enough;
b) He wasn’t beholden to the Christian right like Bush was, and;
c) wasn’t willing to put his foot in a liberal’s ass the way Bush was.
They are deliberately looking past McCain at his VP because they see another Bush II who is a puppet for the VP and power brokers behind the scenes. McCain now supports the conservative agenda.

Louis says
Gravel Blood Palin is my Delta Tau Chi name apparently (or is that from a different work of fiction).
And on a separate note, surely there is one other thing to like about Sarah Palin, she is kinda sexy after all. Does that make me a bad person? I might disagree with her politics and religion, but she is nice looking. Why am I now thinking of that website about fucking Ann Coulter? Surely the Palin version would be more pleasant. After all, Palin seems to be a much nicer person than Ann. The policies don’t seem all that difference, but at least she’d destroy your civil liberties and institute theocracy with nice make up and a winning smile.
Sadly, as someone a) concerned with the issues and not the packaging and b) not resident in the USA, this unfortunate and tawdry desire on my part would not affect my vote, even if I had one!
It’s kind of depressing when having conversations with friends/family that many of them seem unable to get past the “but I’m like them so I’ll vote for them” mentality and deal with the issues. Sarah Palin may have a lot in common with many of her fellow Americans, but sadly her stances on the issues of the day are practically neolithic. Ergo, she is a great marketing tool but sadly not the thinking man’s choice of candidate or crumpet.

As a homosexual, she’d probably have obliged me to visit one of those “gay cures” she seems to be adept of, by now at 44, I’d be divorced empty number of times, probably still in the closet, of course fiercly anti-homosexual, with huge identity issues, permanently medicated for chronic depression, not something I particularly like to envisage.
Molly, NYC says
Seagull Junker Palin here.
You know Guiliani’s BS that somebody–anybody?–suggested Palin shouldn’t be VP because she’s a mother?
Rudy? It isn’t that she’s a mother. It’s that, from all indications, she’s a lousy mother.
Palin is a governor. That’s actually a pretty big deal, even in a place as apparently casual about such things as Alaska. She has a family income in the neighborhood of $200k plus perks, which means that even if she weren’t governor, she’d have at least middle-class resources.
So how come her two eldest aren’t going to college? Think about it–if they were your kids and you had those kinds of assets, they’d probably be college-bound, no? Even if they were the most screwed-up kids on the planet, Palin could get them into the U of Alaska tomorrow with a phone call. But she won’t do that much for her own kids (and she’s clearly not above using her office for personal reasons).
And good families go to some pains to see that their kids aren’t screwed-up. Here’s what Palin did to Bristol: Took her out of school last year (long before the pregnancy), turned her into the primary caregiver for Palin’s own special-needs baby, and is now marrying her off to some loser. As for Track–if my boy announced that he was enlisting, my ex-husband and I would bury our differences and take turns sitting on him until he changed his mind; some parents have pulled guns on recruiters who approached their kids. And under Bush, Army careers have become so bleak that they attract only those with not-great alternatives, So why doesn’t a governor’s son have better alternatives?
Palin likes to imply that she’s got this typical American family, and her family matters are being handled in a typical American way. But they’re only typical for people who are dead broke and have no idea that there’s anything better. Most parents want (as part of the American Dream) for their kids to have fuller lives than their own.
Why doesn’t Palin?
negentropyeater says
Askyroth,
most probably just the usual troll pretending to be someone he isn’t.
I just reacted to his comment at face value, there seems to be this rampant attack on Obama, that he has exploited a kind of cult of followers.
So if a dem is not charismatic enough, like Kerry, they’ll say he “doesn’t connect with people”. If he is, they’ll say he thinks he’s Jesus Christ.
As usual, the right wing noise machine prefers to spread this kind of disinformation, which people like “homo-my-a**” pick up, and avoid at all cost to have a rational debate about the issues.
Apparently, in the last few weeks of the campaign, 98% of all news was about the horse race, and 2% about the issues.
No wonder people like homo are representative of a significant portion of the electorate.
The more I observe this election, the more I’m disgusted, mind you, the fact that the American public accepts this and focusses so much on what’s irrelevant, is probably the number one sign of the decline of the empire.
Wowbagger says
What we’re hearing in Australia (from the US media) is that McCain is now leading in the polls – and while I don’t necessarily believe that’s the truth, that isn’t the point. What is important is that the US public (and, I guess, the rest of the world) are being led to believe that it’s close.
That way, when the Republicans use the same dirty tricks they used to win the last two elections, it’ll seem like the ‘reasonable outcome’ of a ‘close race’ and that’ll be the end of it – because there’s no way the media will play it any other way.
I don’t want to see a third straight republican president. The rest of the world doesn’t deserve that any more than you guys do.
negentropyeater says
One would assume that the fact that Obama is immensly more popular than McCain in the rest of the world (especially amongst the USA’s traditional allies, Europe, Japan, Canada and Australia) would be an advantage for Obama if this election were about a rational debate.
But it turns out that for the republican voters, this is a reason not to vote for Obama and to be more supportive of McCain (how could the interests of the USA’s key allies be the same as those of Americans ?), and for the independent voters, this is not a relevant argument (who cares about what the rest of the world prefers, Americans need to decide on their own, that’s freedom).

Thats true,and somewhat unbelievable,but at the same time a sign of the times,I think..
Im immensely enjoying reading “Collapse” atm,and his references to current-day America,its not obvious to many people that the Anasazi lasted longer than the current inhabitants of the USA,pretty amazing stuff.
I read an article by an American sociologist(in German,sorry)today who is arguing that the US is on the decline,that 28% of US citizens are factually illiterate,the workforce is increasingly unskilled,and we all know about the religious situation.
And this mob of anti-intellectual,illiterate retards will decide the future of the planet in 7 weeks time,its beyond scary.

Clinteas,
I’m not entirely convinced that if America continues to follow 4 more years of the same irresponsible economic and foreign policies as during the last 8 years, that it doesn’t start correcting the disastrous effects on its society of religiosity, ultra-capitalism, consumerism, exceptionalism, and colonialism, in brief, that Americans continue to refuse to adapt to a new environment, that it will be that bad for other developped nations and the rest of the world.
If Americans refuse to adapt to a changing world, this will surely precipitate their decline, it can indeed cause great havoc for the rest of the world on the short term, but not necessarily on the long term.
I’m quite convinced that if Americans elect McPalin, this will have more disastrous consequences for them, than for us.

Am I the only person who’s noticed that the whole family treats the youngest baby like an inanimate prop? Small wonder she names her kids after random objects.
The part we saw of MSNBC’s Palin special (all puns intended) last night talked about how she and Todd eloped to the courthouse with no witnesses and that their first child was born just eight months later. Like mother, like daughter: human reproduction is just roulette to these people.

Puck Mule Palin. Hmm, Puck is a fun character from Shakespeare, and mules are an interesting genetic experiment…

@ 105
You have broken Poes Law Sir !
Congratulations,if you faked this longstanding insanity visible on your page,then that is an outstanding effort,and blows Poe away…
If not,well,then you are insane.Or just whoring for blog traffic,of course.

Clinteas – A lot of families’ teenage kids experiment with drugs, and most families’ teenage kids have sex. And if handled badly, these adventures can really screw up your life.
Parents who love their kids will move Heaven and freaking Earth to keep that sort of thing from happening.
Palin, on the other hand, seems to be of the “you made your bed, slut, now lie in it–forever” persuasion.
That’s how she apparently treats her own kids. You can imagine how she’d handle a Katrina-grade disaster.
KristinMH says
Moose Roadster Palin.
I only associate the word “roadster” with Nancy Drew, so…weird images…Anyway, I’m Canadian and I can’t vote in your election, but I can personally tell you that is McCain/Palin win, I will be looking into purchasing some property VERY VERY FAR from the border. If it already has a bomb shelter that’ll just be gravy.
bigjohn says
According to the web site I’d be Ripper Shook Palin. However, if Sarah Palin were really my mother then I would like to be called a mf.

“Puck Mule Palin.”
I misread and thought you typed PUKE Mule Palin. Oops! lol
Pleased to meet you Puck, I’m Engine Nighthawk Palin.
nobody says
Jesus Christ!! You get EVERYTHING wrong!!!
It’s absolutely incredible. The cure for this Republic is to do the EXACT OPPOSITE of everything you say and do!!
Unless it has to do with zebrafish and/or slasher films. You’d probably get it wrong there too if someone made a slasher film starring zebrafish.
Rev. BigDumbChimp, KoT says
The cure for the republic is to not point to a name generator?
Tim H says
Jeep Pike Palin
I note there will apparently be no Palin children named Library Microscope Palin. I guess those words aren’t in the Big Ol’ Redneck Dictionary.
There is a grocery store in Rhinelander, WI named Trig’s. Maybe she is raising her son to be its manager. (or assistant stockboy.) Of course, her son may have trouble handling the transition to the big city- Rhinelander’s population is almost 8000, and it’s the county seat in Oneida Co.
Gary Bohn says
Bullpen Cola Palin here. Wife’s name would be Stag Tunnel Palin.
I guess I’m still warming up and she’s … I’m afraid to imagine what she’s doing.
Joey says
ha! joey = commando coalfire palin. i wish she had been my mother!
Adrienne says
Bash Budweiser Palin. I’d rather be Bash Pabst Blue Ribbon Palin, though. Just that little bit trashier.
Michele says
Another Fog Piles checking in, how uh.. gross?
yocco says
Trig would be cool if it were short for trigonometry, not Trigger. Roy Rogers horse, or part of a gun?
Tim H says
In Alaska, Trig is short for triganosis (they don’t need to spell well in Alaska- they can shoot). Alaskans greatly fear triganosis, as it can be caught by eating undercooked bear meat.
Tony Sidaway says
Russell Brand Palin
Patricia says
#114 – Nobody Home Palin.
I got Drink Hack Palin, husband – Bowl Antler Palin.
Bride of Shrek, OM and SM look like the winners so far!
Thanks Clinteas for ‘whoring for blog traffic’ I’m stealing that from you. ;o)
johnb300m says
I would be “Stick Palin”
Stick, Track, Trig!!!!! Time for dinner!!!!!
Actually, I’ve heard the name Trig alot in northern Wisconsin. There’s a “Trig’s” store in Minacqua, WI and a pharmacist named Trig who’s begging my dad to work for Walgreens up there.
E in MD says
If Sarah Palin were my mom, I’d at least love her enough to tell her she has no business being in the white house and I’d probably still love her no matter how big a religious whacko she was.
Zach says
I would be “Plop Hero Palin”
E in MD says
Crap.. hit the post button too soon.
I’d think ‘Splorge’ would be pretty good. Or perhaps ‘Gorf’.
Pimientita says
Thump Hummer Palin here :)
quite an ironic name for a lesbian LOL!
I also don’t find any fault in Palin choosing unusual names for her kids. I think there should be more creativity in child naming. Then again, I am biased because my real name is Pepper and I grew up in the generation of children born to hippies and have/had friends named Harvest, Devender, Summer Raines, Misty Ponds, Damian Bluelake, Aleutia, etc.
There is much to fault in the rest of her personality, however. *shudder*
LongRider says
Dust Chinstrap Palin here. Just call me “Dust.” I like the Dust moniker because Dust was the mysterious substance in the triolgy of fantasy novels “His Dark Materials” that so frightened the Magisterium (the Church) that controlled the world of the story.
And since these books, espically the first one (titled The Golden Compass in the USA) and the moive made from that book, have so upset the real fundies of this world who have tried to ban and repress the book/moive, I am proud to be kmown as “Dust.”
Heather says
Taupe Armageddon Palin
I think I’ll keep my name.
tim gueguen says
Pimientita, your last name isn’t Potts, is it? If it is say hello to Mr. Stark for me.
LongRider says
Another blog that played with this came with my ultra fav-o-rite Palin name:
Buster Taint Palin!
I love it!
David Marjanović, OM says
YOU PERVERT!!!1! I had no idea to what depths human beings can stoop. <shock> <horror>
Yes. In fact… yes. Reality is utterly tiresome. And it has a well-known liberal bias.
Go cheney yourself.
Pimientita says
I wish! :)
I have to say that the comments I get on my name have much improved since Ironman was released. I did get some references to the character from fellow comic book nerds before the movie came out, but they were few and far between. It’s a nice change of pace from the typical “Hehe…where’s salt?” *rolleyes*
I can usually tell whether I am going to like someone based on how they comment on my name. So good job, tim! We’re probably going to get along famously!
Owlmirror says
Ahem.
I’m just sayin’, is all.
brightmoon says
Ammo Canal Palin
Skwee says
Bomb Locomotive Palin. I like it.

David Marjanović @ #134,
Pervert? Me? Yes. Again, you say this like it’s a BAD thing. Perversion is nummy. Not only does reality have the liberal bias you mention, it also has a kinky bias. Even some conservatives have wide stances and a penchant for male escorts and crystal meth, and that’s more perverted than even I am capable of.
That’s why conservatives are so apparently down on sex. Banning stuff makes it naughtier and thus more fun. Imagine all that emotional guilt based frisson when the 19 year old, illegal immigrant, identical, Chinese, twin girls you bought from your arms dealer friend (who are spanking you with a rolled up copy of anything by Adam Smith) call you a very dirty daddy before pegging you rigid with a splintery broom handle strap on covered with tabasco, and then decide to give you a girl on girl on boy piss fest and mutual fist-a-thon whilst snorting coke off a pile of gay men’s cocks shortly after these gents have performed what can only be described as a human demonstration of the principle underlying Da Vinci’s helicopter.
….but enough about my weekend….
My point is that these perverts LIKE banning stuff so they get extra thrills. If all this good sexual shennanigans and general unethical rubbish were allowed, no one would enjoy it and the world would be vanilla.

David Marjanović, OM says
Well <extra-sober look>, unfortunately I can answer this question. I can tell you where Salt is. He’s a creationist troll who occasionally visits Pharyngula — not often enough to be banned. :-| Probably believes he’s the salt of the earth…

Plank Castle Palin.
I tried with just my first name, Mullet Troll Palin.

Now, that’s just reaching.

Variations on my name produced:
Bush Gator Palin
Blitz Harden Palin
Now I’m torn (not a Palin) as to which to choose.
chgo_liz says
Steak Leather Palin here. Do you think it knew that I’ve been a vegetarian for the last 30 years?
Ouchimoo says
If you put in Track, which is I guess one of her kids names, you get “Meat Notgay”
WTF!?
Spoonwacker says
Log Justice Palin FTW
I’ll try not to let it go to my head…
cactusren says
Khaki Salmon Palin
Apparently I’m a pale shade of pinkish tan. Sounds like one of those ridiculous names for the color of make-up or paint.
Lars says
“Charles Darwin” = “Stinger Assassin Palin”
HA HA!!! I got that too. I´m so honored.
Russell says
I pluggen in Russell and got Puke Mule Palin. Then I plugged in Jesus and got Axe Disel Palin, LOL. The name god gets you Charcoal Sniper Palin, fitting in a way.
So whadaya think about that Speck Backfire Palin, I mean PZ?
Per H says
My name is Per Hultqvist, and this my new Palin-name : Knife Pile Palin
I kind of like Knife as a first name…I might just go and change it officially…
Graeme Elliott says
Flex Gunship Palin! That’s got to be up there!
prelevent says
Stinger Assassin Palin… hehe, it fits right in with my pacifistic/ ironic nature…
Silverloc says
From #46:
I have been wondering if anyone else noticed that! And also wracking my brain trying to think of a TV witch named Bristol…
Sincerely,
another Khaki Salmon Palin
Dancaban says
I’m so unlucky that if I were one of her triplets then I’d be the one the bottle…
Luger Otter Robinson says
Darwin would have been Spoon Archer. I think he would have killed himself, and Sarah would now be complaining about Wallace-ism instead of Darwinism.
ooga booga says
The kids in Bristol
Are sharp as a pistol (???????)
When they do
The Bristol Stomp
Clearly our beauty queen heard that in a beer-induced haze. And it stuck. Bristol Stomp Palin.
