Those are some great names

I feel like I'm always disclaiming myself in this here BLOG, which is sort of silly, still, like that creepy old David Coverdale once sang, here I go again: I'm a twisted man with a sick sense of humor.

Why else would I be standing in a Toys 'R Us store thinking about porn? Serioulsly. Porn. On a Sunday afternoon. I'd even been to church that morning. But, there I stood, in the middle of Toys 'R Us with the rest of the Team around me, thinking about porn. Sweet mother of all that is good - what is wrong with me?

Now before you hop off your machine and contact CPS or start an on-line petition to have me castrated, let me say in my defense, that I'm not turned on by toy stores. That's not why I was thinking about porn. I'm not some sort of sicko pedophile that gets all torqued up by that sort of thing. Hell, as my Lovely Bride can attest, I don't even own any porn. Truth be told, I'm not even real sure where you would get porn. Sure, I've seen those porn shops on the side of the highway, but I'm usually doing the over the hills and through the woods thing when we pass by those places, and well, I don't think stopping in would be real appropriate on the way to grandma's house. Plus, they probably aren't real kid friendly. No play area for the Boy(s) while me and my Lovely Bride shopped. I actually am very intrigued by what actually does go on in those places, as they always have a full parking lot. It can be 6am on Sunday and those places are packed. But, hey, I'm digressing real hard here.

Back to me standing in the Toy 'R us store thinking about porn. I'm not a raving pervert. I'm not a connoisseur of pornography. Why would I be thinking about such salacious material in a Toys 'R Us of all places?

Simple. I was in the Rescue Heroes aisle looking at names like: Jack Hammer, Wendy Waters, Rocky Canyon, Rip Rockfellow, Captain Cuffs, Perry Shute, Kenny Ride, Seymour Wild and Gil Gripper, while the Elder Boy was deciding which Rescue Heroe to purchase. Standing there with him, reading off the names so he could make an educated decision, I kept thinking to myself, damn, this sounds like a roster of porn stars from some Boogie Nights universe. Then I saw one movie title in particular, and bam, the Rescue Heroes = Porn Stars association was cemented in my sick head.

Rocky Canyon in, "Rock and a Hard Place."

I know, I'm sick. Sorry.

Until I BLOG again...I want a name I want it so it can cut glass, y'know, razor sharp.
