I work with a guy named James Joyce.

My brother's mate is called Vincent Price.

How cool would it be though if he talked like Joyce writes?

"Hey James, have you faxed that thing to that biyotch yet?"
"Honeywhistle McGillicutty...farndangle barndangle!"

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 14 November 2003 20:06 (twenty-one years ago)

That's the best I could do on such short notice, sorry.

I work with a dude named Ja Mes Wo Od.

Way back in '93, I quit school and wound up working this temp job way out in the Mid-Missouri countryside. For two horrible weeks, I stood up for eight hours a day and coallated advertising inserts.

I worked in a windowless garage with this fat man who knew it all about coallating. He was also a huge self-professed "dittohead". I heard so much Rush Limbaugh. Three hours a day for two whole weeks. A short time, but it still makes me shudder ten years later.

This guy was fat, conservative, mean, smoked menthol cigarettes, and always accused me of shirking. His name?

Michael J. Fox.

why did he use the J?

Michael Bolton from Office Space to thread

I know a Jam3s D3an as well. He's Welsh.

I have a friend in Chicago named Steve Lacy, like the septugenarian jazz saxophonist.

― hstencil, Friday, 14 November 2003 23:49 (twenty-one years ago)

He used the J. because it was his middle initial, and no damn cutie sitcom star was going to steal it! Like I said, he was an asshole.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Michael Bolton yet.

Sportscenter once did a piece on the troubles with the Viking running game. The graphic in the background was RB Robert Smith in action. The text around it? "NOT THE CURE" No clever references from the announcer or anything, just that. Perfect.

I used to work at a place with an Elliot Smith. Only about three people found this amusing and I don't think he had any clue.

There was a teacher at my school called Saul Hudson, who owned neither snakes, guitars nor top hats to the best of my knowledge.

― Markelby (Mark C), Saturday, 15 November 2003 17:52 (twenty-one years ago)

As I've said before, I work with a man called Bob Wills. He's in his 50s, and he'd not heard of his musical namesake.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 15 November 2003 18:52 (twenty-one years ago)

In college, I lived with a guy named Steve (Stephen) King.

― jaymc (jaymc), Saturday, 15 November 2003 18:55 (twenty-one years ago)

At one place I worked for a Charles Watts. Everyone called him Charlie, but not together with his surname.

Also, Paul Weller. Old enough for him to not be named after him, (about the same age)...

there's an edmund cochrane who works at my company. i do wonder if he ever gets called eddie

I was at an open studios event at PS1/Moma in Queens, NY, and met a British artist who gave me an odd sense of deja vu. He introduced himself as Phil Collins. 'Ah, you're Phil Collins, I knew I knew you from somewhere!' I said, but stopped myself short of making some lame joke about whether a jacket was required in his 'open sussudio'.

I did an insurance policy the other day for an Audr3y H3pburn. Definitely young enough for her parents to have realised what they were doing to her.

I also deal with a man called G3rry Raff3rty a lot at work. And a Robbi3 Williams. And a Mark Radcliff3.

Yeah, but just imagine what a bummber it would be to be called "Fred West", safe most of your life, then just as you get to dating age, a mass murderer makes your name of imfamy...

Went to school with a boy named John Hinckley. (sp?) It was considered him a great source of hilarity to ask him every day if he'd shot the president.

I used to share a flat with a bloke called J(ohn) Dahmer. Way to impress a new boyfriend when you give directions to your flat and say "it's the one with "J Dahmer" on the buzzer/door".

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 17 November 2003 18:18 (twenty-one years ago)

(not that Jeffrey Dahmer is in any way my favourite celebrity)
