A boy named Sue

[davywavy]

Johnny Cash wrote a song about how giving a boy a girl's name made him grow up to be really tough, and in the real world this appears to be bourne out - John Wayne was christened Marion Morrison and he grew up to be The Duke, whilst Shirley Crabtree grew up to be Big Daddy - the famous wrestler and Britains Hardest Man.

With that in mind, why isn't Marilyn Manson as hard as nails, eh? Answer me that.

That's because his real name is... Brian.

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

There can be only one person who is hard as nails and called Brian and that is:

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

My nemesis! Aiieee!

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!

[song-of-copper.livejournal.com]

Goodness... the testosterone is palpable from here.

all together now:

GORDON'S ALIVE?!?!?!

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

THANKS! FOR GIVING A DUMB OLD BIRD A SECOND CHANCE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!

Capslock ain't big enough for BB

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

That may qualify as quote of the day.

I know, this is Friday stupidity :)

[song-of-copper.livejournal.com]

It is...? Is that different in some way from Mon - Thu stupidity? My stupidity palate obviously needs fine tuning. ^_^

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

On Friday I'm especially stupid.

[song-of-copper.livejournal.com]

Good grief! What's happening?! His Waviness is being self-deprecating...?!

Perhaps intellect is overrated after all. :-)

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure it's possible to overrate my intellect.

[song-of-copper.livejournal.com]

Ah... normal service has resumed, I see. I was getting worried...!

Well that's easy, Manson was born Brian Hugh Warner and made the choice to have a chick's name. The other two were given chicks names and became hard asses.

I think thuis means Manson must actually want to be beaten up by boys...

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

So what you're saying is that giving a boy a boy's name is a good way to get him to turn into a softy?

That explains why my parents called me Davy rough n tumble fighin' man oh yeah psychokilla wavy

Big Daddy was wobbly, not hard
I saw him wrestle on the same bill as Giant Haystacks at Southampton Guildhall in my younger days

He was also shiny breeched, pudgy and very talcy if I recall

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Pshaw! He was nails - I mean, in a fight between Big Daddy and Marilyn Manson, who would win?

I'd certainly pay good money to watch it.

[gnommi.livejournal.com]

well my money is on Manson, cos Daddy's been dead ten years ;)

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Frankly, I think it's still even money.

[gnommi.livejournal.com]

well, Big Daddy did once kill a man using only his stomach and gravity...

...true story

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

"Once I squashed a man in Reno, just to watch him pie..."

[gnommi.livejournal.com]

Big Daddy's more famous attacks would involve his large abdomen to great effect often using "Belly-Butts" (thrusting his pelvis forward to slam his belly into an oncoming opponent) before finishing off opponents with his "belly-splash" in which he jumped vertically down onto the body of a fallen opponent.

EAT LARD, GOTH BOY!

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Have you seen MM lately? I reckon his could adopt that as his signature move.

[nicnac.livejournal.com]

Because he has the surname of a savage killer*, which more than offsets the girly first name, thus turning him into a bit of a wuss.


*What do you mean you didn't know that about Shirley??

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

What??? Shirley Manson is Big Daddy and Marilyn Manson's love child? Why wasn't anyone told?

[lexx-uk.livejournal.com]

Then where does paul Reubenfeld fit in? Changing his name to Pee wee Hermann?

I can understand Nicholas cage, I.e changing there name so as not to cash in on a family members fame....and chosing a nice normal sounding name but Pee wee?

However Mr T is Mr T being Lawrence Tero.

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Then where does paul Reubenfeld fit in? Changing his name to Pee wee Hermann?

He's the exception that proves the rule. That's logic that is.

[lexx-uk.livejournal.com]

See bellow :)

[lexx-uk.livejournal.com]

Does this lodgic mean that Anne Rice is as tough as nails ....... given her real name is Howard Allen O'Brian.

She started using anne at school because she felt being called Howard might be odd for a little girl :)

BTW I am not joking.

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Frankly, I wouldn't care to have a fight with her.

Then there's Tracey Hickman who wrote the Dragonlance novels - also a man with a girls name and three-time winner of the All-GenCon UFC championship.

[lexx-uk.livejournal.com]

Was not Errol Flynn called Leslie Flynn....which is one of those grey area names?

bonus points for knowing Nicholas cages real sirname with out Google :)

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Well, that would explain Errol Flynn, wouldn't it?

And your question supposes that I have any interest in Nic Cage! I know he's related to one of the big shot directors (Coppola?) and wanted to hide that so I guess they had the same name but I wouldn't know for sure.

[lexx-uk.livejournal.com]

You are correct on the cage thing, FF Coppola's is his uncle.

Who I belive directed a vampire flick with Winona Horowitz, Leonard Oldman, Sir Philip Hopkins, Keanu Reeves, Richard Esterhuysen (Swaziland's most fameworthy actor), Ivan Elwes, and Sadie Vaughan all staring in it :)

I am a bit bored today :)

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

You could entertain yourself by nicking your company phone list for me?

[lexx-uk.livejournal.com]

I will try and get you something when I can :)

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Yeah yeah :p

[flywingedmonkey.livejournal.com]

I was cristened Pricilla Lackwitt which explains both my manly manliness and my awesome blend of intellect and humour.

We all know yo're a girl really, and you're just having to live as a man for a few years before you get the op.
