Canucks win Game 7.

Bring on the Ducks.

Oh, the Bad Baby Names we have for you this week. Let’s get started!

We start with the bog-standard local Bad Baby Names. Tammylynn is almost boring these days… I think this might be the last of the Rammed Together coupled with Hyllo Y Lyke Ys names.

Jdice, JB, and T-sha are all just plain horrible. Jdice? Come on. Give your head a shake, parents. JB? T-sha? What the hell kind of a name is T-sha? A stupid one, that’s what kind it is. And she (yes, T-sha is a girl’s name) has really stupid parents.

But today’s Bad Baby Name isn’t local, it’s a celebrity Bad Baby Name submitted by Samwise. Celebrities are known for their Bad Baby Names, and it’s usually not fair picking on them because it’s just so easy. But today’s holds a special place in my heart, as it comes from that masterful pop group of the 90s, the Spice Girls.

Little known fact: CanSpice got his name in Arkansas. At a wedding in Arkansas. I have to blame both Amy and Jeff for this — thanks guys! Hope Amy hasn’t discovered the rat poison yet, Jeff! :-)

Like I said, CanSpice comes from a wedding in Arkansas, where they gave me the name “Canada Spice” because I’m from Canada. And I guess I’m the missing Spice Girl.

But CanSpice, you may be thinking, when the hell are you going to get back to the Bad Baby Names? Right now, gentle reader, for Ginger Spice had a baby a little while ago. Mini Spice was recently baptised with the name “Bluebell Madonna”.

…it’s another, as the saying goes.

The past month we’ve been struggling through refrigerators. Our first started slowly warming up. Our landlord had one stashed in our garage, so we used that for about two days before that one died. A third one was brought in, and it worked for about a week before warming up. Yesterday our landlord brought over a new fan assembly, but discovered that the current fan was good, needing a shot of WD-40 and proper installation. Presto, working fridge.

So of course today our dryer has to blow a belt and stop working.

Ever seen shampoo bounce?

Now you have.

Science. It’s fucking cool.

We’re going to play a little game here. Let’s see how many different things we can find that have been blamed for yesterday’s Virginia Tech shooting.

Pakistani Muslims. Atheism and evolution. Video games. Video games. Not enough guns. Not enough gun control. Stageplays. Racial hatred. Girlfriends. “Rich kids,” “debauchery” and “deceitful charlatans.”

I put this out as a challenge to my users. Spread this post far and wide so we can collect as many pointing fingers as possible. 20? 50? 100?
