Jun 6th, 2008I heard a great snippet on NPR this morning on the way to work. Every Friday, NPR broadcasts “StoryCorps”, which is usually a semi-schmaltzy piece where someone tells a relative how much they love them. Today’s was different though, and made me laugh out loud. It’s about Mexican immigrants who had their name American-ified…at least some of them. On some names, it just doesn’t work. Take a listen… (Don’t read the transcript, you have to hear the guy -click “Listen Now” at top of the NPR page.)

About Me
Tweets- Monday to-do list: Have car break down - check. Forget gym padlock combo and get lock cut off - check. Waiting for #3...
- Pulled an intercostal muscle (ribcage), and it hurts like crazy, especially when I laugh. No jokes please, unless they're not funny.
- @jsnell Yeah, excellent. Storyline's a bit complicated, so we'll see what the Hollywood meat grinder does to it.
- Just powered thru "Watchmen" -- can't wait for the movie in March now.
- Stood up by a Craigslist buyer tonight. Release the hounds of bad karma!
