Thread reminds me of that Pounder school graduation ceremony sketch with Steve Carell on SNL.

My hometown has a large Hmong population. A common surname among the Hmong people is Her or Herr. As it so happens, the name Bang is a popular first name. To confirm this unfortunate cross-cultural coincidence, refer to the Fresno High yearbook from either 1997 or 1998.

Kid in my graduating class was named Ici Yu...he was actually pretty creepy too. He used to show up uninvited to people's houses.

My friend's sister named their baby boy Anakin. Was the paper from South Bend, IN? Anyway, it's disgusting.

Oh, and yes, the middle name is Skywalker.

And the baby sister is named Skylar, which I'm pretty sure is supposed to be a boy's name?
