I've got a Cater Meril(both names from my stepfather's family) and a Tank, pretty much it.


My brother and I avoided 2 very inconvenient names; He was to be John Wayne(Wayne being my mother's father) and I was to be Brock Lee(Lee being my mother's middle name/my dad's interest in Bruce Lee).

I was spared grade school ridicule

I should also say that my entire family on my mom's side are Mennonites, most are all biblical names, I can't even keep up with them all. From Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky etc...

The other side, my dad's, were born and bred in Arkansas, redneck gingers at that, and are spread throughout Alabama and Florida.

My name was suppose to be John, they decided we had to many John's already. My dad was huge into Bruce Lee, took Taekwondo most of his youth. My grandfather was the biggest John Wayne fan around, and all he watched were Westerns. I can relate.

There was a girl in my 8th Grade class named Kelsey Morehead. She got suspended for being caught having sex in the bathroom with another kid. You can't make these things up.

Had an uncle, not by blood named Homer Pleas (pronounced Plezz).

He wanted everybody to call him Bill. LOL. He was a good dude, I raise my glass to Uncle Bill
