If she's married to a guy named Zach (or Zack, I don't remember) with a kid, we probably know the same Kyle. I used to work with them in southern Indiana.

For 24 hours a month I'm stuck in a room with no cell phone and nothing to do but call people, print out e-mails, and watch satellite TV (I always forget to bring a book), since I finished Parks and Rec and Bob's Burgers, and can't stand the Office, Ridiculous marathons have pretty much saved my sanity.

I once knew a cis man named Ashley and a cis woman named Kyle. Pretty sure I've heard Ashley as a male name before but never Kyle as a female name.

Also went to a nerd store once where the owner's 3 or 4 year old daughter was named Tifa.

I'm pretty sure Ashley was historically a male name, anyway. Like Lynn.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

My brother was very nearly named Vivian, (after Viv Richards), but mum shot dad down by telling him that it was generally a girls name in Australia. So instead he was named Andrew after Andy Roberts.

And as much of a fan of the great world-beating West Indian cricket team of the 70s/80s as my dad is, he didn't realize that the Andy in Andy Roberts is short for 'Anderson'. Also, if he still wanted to name my brother after Sir Viv he could have called him Issac or Alexander, as the great man's full name is IVA Richards.

Alexander would even have kept the theme, as I also have a name starting with A taken from a member of the West Indian team from the 70s/80s.

Nah, she’s married to a guy named James and she’s a nurse in Baton Rouge. People actually call her “Kye” sometimes without pronouncing the L

There's an actress named Kyle Richards (it's her birth name, too). I think she was on Little House on the Prairie back in the day. Maybe this lady's parents were inspired by that?

I went to CNA school with a lady named Daryl and she straight up said her parents got it from Daryl Hannah.

That's actually a pretty cool airplane design, it has a sail and wheels so it's like 3x amphibious or something.

I’m pretty sure those wings are feathers, although I’m not convinced that was intentional.

It’s so bad. Looking at it makes me feel bad. I’m sad for everyone involved. It’s not even a glorious bad, like that guy that did the football (Patriots?) tattoo. It’s just sad bad.

You make it sound like it was an infected wound or something mega-gross. I’d say that “a big anime tiddy babe pasted on the back of a Jeep” is pretty mild by the standards of this thread. Still definitely AUG, but it could’ve been a lot worse. Also, the wheel cover is amusingly stupid. It’s a good post.

Maybe very drunk.

A friend used to live in a particular Eastern European country, and houses were being built across the street from his. He said he'd watch the builders turn up in the morning, carrying coolers full of beer, and basically get gradually drunker throughout the day as they were building and then stagger home in the evenings. Every day.
