What’s in a Name?

Monday, August 11, 2003

My father has an uncanny ability to get the names of celebrities and movie characters’ names wrong.  For the longest time he called that show about nothing ”Steinfeld.”

He visited this weekend, and Futurama was on the tv.

“I can’t stand the Simpsons,” he said.  When I explained that it was a different show altogether, he said, “But isn’t that Bart and Burly, or whatever his name is?”

Then he went on to tell me how he rented Bringing Down the House starring Steve Martin and Queen Fajita.

We all agree that the man in question is always trying out various name combinations of celebrities.
