#46: Welcome to 2001

Vagabond

on Sept. 10, 2006

Now, a few days ago in class, I noticed that the girl in front of me had, across her back, the word "Carter." I looked a little further to her desk and noticed that on her name tag (what can I say? The instructor's still trying to learn names) was this same word. It dawned on me suddenly that Carter was in fact, this girl's name… though she also seemed like the kind of girl who, if she wanted someone to know her name, she would have a better chance putting it across her chest for the people she'd want to meet.

Though I wondered, why all of a sudden have wealthy families started naming their daughters after presidents? Not wanting to be left outside of the trendy loop, I've put forth a few suggestions of my own:

Eisenhower- On the road or out to war, everyone will respect your authority… until hippies come around.
Fillmore- When a slutty nickname just isn't enough.
Taft- Because who honestly doesn't want a big bowl of Taft bouncing around on the dance floor?
Pierce- If there was ever an excuse for having so many earrings, this would be it.
Buchanan- When you're looking for a lonely, boring bachelor to spend time with, why look any further than yourself?
Hitler- Just because you've been cyrogenically frozen for 60 years doesn't mean you can't come back with FLAIR–

Oh wait, that last one didn't happen.


Yet.
