so with gas prices going up and up if gas was 4.30 and the card is only worth 100 that would buy about 23 gallons of gas maybe some thing like that. Now is 23 gallons of gas really worth a babys name that he will have to live with till he is 18 if not longer. A babys name is never worth trading.

If this becomes popular, a standard 21st century introduction might go something like this:
Hi, I'm Verizon, this is my wife Pepsi, and these are our two kids, Tampax and Merrill-Lynch...

It's actually pretty smart, accept it, all games are quite ridiculous anyway.

Yeah, that's one of my main survival tactics. It's a sick, sick world and it always will be. There's only so much you can do to combat the madness. So I say go ahead and laugh at it.

Dixon and Willoughby topic
What is in a name, or names? I assume the baby is a boy, but girls have not been spared the inaneness of the name game. People nowadays are so desperate for fame and fortune that they will do almost anything ridiculous for a few bucks or fleeting notoriety. 
And just how far will a $100 gas card go? Cheap thrills.

It would make it slightly more bearable if the name didn't include the 'and'.

Somes games are not games at all. They're thinly-veiled ritualizations of human aggression. |

I still am so thankful that my brother and his wife only produced one son. They had an agreement that she would name the first child of each gender, then he would name the second, etc. Their son is Christopher Gene. The other six kids are all girls. If they'd had another boy, the poor child would have been Harley David Martin. You'll never guess who my brother's employer is... Ah, yes, the motormaniac has his dream job...
