OT: Stuff You Just Can’t Make Up

[rudedude]

In a weird twist, did Key and Peele use real names?

As great as that skit was, very few of those names actually surprise me. I coached high school basketball for 15 years near Baltimore city, some of the names of players on both my team and many of the other ones in the area could have been in that skit.

I worked at a school and the mother of a couple of our students gave birth to twins. They were the third and fourth children in the family and were named numbers that were not 3 and 4.

A former Wyoming and Detroit Pistons basketball player was named Fennis Denbo. He had a twin sister named Fenise. Because they were the last two kids their mom was going to have. So Fennis and Fenise.

made up names. Takes balls. As I named 1 n 2, I considered what it would look like front and center on a resume, you know, for a job and stuff

It makes a difference. Bill Cosby was vocal about that, you’re doing your kid no favors when you name them just to indulge yourself.

And who would ever question Bill Cosby’s judgement?

Exactly. Coming from the guy who laced the Puddin Pops.

That was my immediate response to The Rick, just not getting around to posting.

Speaking of "Stuff You Just Can’t Make Up"....

I watched the miniseries "Mafia Spies" last week (based on INFO of top secret files released). I was young and remember many of these events concerning Castro. Both the CIA and mafia were incompetent, amateurish in the development of the various plans to take Castro down. Each episode revealed a plan that eventually fails, it's almost laughable.
When Hoover finds about the mafia & CIA partnership thru wire taps at a hotel in Florida, he throws a flying f..k into both conspirators.

The mafia & CIA partnership had a double agent that essentially prevented the removal of Fidel.
Have to watch the flick to determine the agent.
