But why Tracey Ullmann?

Fun with names. I think the Smiths one is my favorite.

My family had a little game where we would take note of people whose names were complete sentences. I think it all started with Norman Fell. There are tons of them. We always thought it would make a good picture book: a cartoon of Norman Fell falling down the stairs, Bert Parks behind the wheel, etc.


Just heard: Duke Ellington's 1968 studio session of "C-Jam Blues."

I was trying to think of some of those Norman Fell-type names and am drawing a blank.

Ben Folds is the only one that instantly came to mind.

I know we started playing in the 80s, when the New York Giants had a linebacker named Gary Reasons.

The game got a lot more fun when we realized that "Sting" is an imperative.
