A trip home over the weekend provoked me into acting upon a new blog series that I have been considering for a while. But before that can I just get something off my chest.
My name is Gary and I watched Eurovision.
Furthermore, I enjoyed it. Any competition that produces the lyrical gems “the arockalypse”, “bring thyn rock and roll” and “when the rockening comes” is a fine competition indeed. And let’s face it, they’re the best lyrics produced by a metal group for at least 10, if not 20, eternities. Supplemented with a crazy dancing guy who looked like one of Mrs P’s uncles, some German C&W plus a not insignificant amount of Belgian beer, ‘twas a fine evening, and no doubt I’ll do it all again next year.
Anyway, The Great Names of America was inspired by the childhood memory of a girl in the village named Charlotte Ring. Her father was Roger. This is still my favourite name combo ever, but not what I’ll be focussing on in The Great Names of America. This will be a celebration of the true classic names of the good ol’ USA that are most probably not used by anyone there anymore, but which will give me an excuse to post pictures of men with big moustaches.
