#personal-anecdotes

Two years ago, we reported on the phenomenon of terrible names dads gave their children, including gems like Earldricka, April Fuel, and Beonsaa (pronounced "Beyoncé"). Gorgeous! Time has passed, but bad names stick forever. So, I'm rounding up more hilariously awful names people shared...this time, the ones both parents apparently agreed on. Enjoy (and pls don't get any ideas): 1. "I went to school with a guy named Justin Case."

Who would you trust to babysit your kids? This can only be another member of the cabinet. I mean, not your husband or Marco [Rubio], replied Hegseth as everyone laughed. I would trust the vice president. I mean, I've known Sean Duffy for years. I would trust him. I would trust Brooke Rollins or Pam [Bondi]. Tulsi [Gabbard]'s incredible. Asked, Who's most likely to call you after hours in an emergency? Hegseth answered, Uh, Stephen Miller.

Growing up, it's easy to see our parents as these all-knowing, put-together superheroes who always have all the answers. But at some point, usually when we least expect it, we hear or see something that makes us realize that outside of being "Mom" and "Dad," they're just regular people trying their best. One simple comment, one small slip, and at last you're aware that your parents are human, just like you.

Gareth Southgate has a good story about cockapoo vomit. Alone, exhausted and about to leave England's impossible job, it was the first thing that greeted him on returning home from defeat in last year's European Championship final. Obviously, he immediately set about clearing it up and consoling the pup suspected of overeating. Another moment of pathos in a life that has experienced the extremes of the public eye, another hurdle cleared.

There was nobody like her. Bright, talented, generous, and very smart and witty. She had more than just a sense of humour; she was hysterical. Whatever it was, she just had it. The first time I saw her was in a deodorant commercial where she bit somebody's ear. Everything about her was original. I'd be interested in anything she was involved in because she was so keen and so smart and so witty.

Sunyi I have a lot of family who are very conservative and I talk to a lot of people with different backgrounds, so I wasn't too nervous. He took the time to learn how to say my name properly most people don't! Francis For starters, I had chicken goujons and dips. For the main I had pulled brisket and chips with a classic cheeseburger. It was really good. Also a shandy, because I was driving.

In every class, Mr. Smith shares personal stories about his dating life, which has raised concerns about appropriateness, even if they are not overtly sexual.

"Went to high school with Brendon Urie of Panic! At the Disco. I was a senior, and he was a sophomore. ... It's a fun story to bring up in conversation."

The train station closest to my house has a split personality. Exit north and you've got an orderly bus lottery, tidy streets of chain stores, and the ever present Starbucks.

When looking for a photographer, always ask to see their complete sets of photos from a couple of weddings to know what the actual coverage will look like.

Asking for a discount based on being a 'nice guy' can work about 30% of the time in situations with flexible pricing.
