She actually did want McNuggets at breakfast time. I wasn't making that up.

Maybe it's just another lady in trouble with the law who likes to be on the TV (see here).

I know, I know - Brian's a pretty wacky name. I hear it all the time.

But believe it or not, names are getting even more crazy than when my parents branded me.

In New Zealand, they are starting to disallow or overturn names given to kids. According to BBC News, the following names have been disallowed or reversed:

• Sex Fruit
• Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii
• Yeah Detroit
• Keenan Got Lucy
  

Odd that they'd do that. I mean, who doesn't know at least 2 or 3 people named Sex Fruit? Thank goodness they were reasonable enough to approve 'Number 16 Bus Shelter'.

On a related note, the parents of Adolf Hitler Campbell (age 4), JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell (3), and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell (2) had their kids taken away from them for being unfit parents and maybe having some psychological problems. Go figure.

This is the first I've heard of the government stepping in to prevent the names of kids, and generally I honestly don't know how I feel about it, but for some reason it doesn't seem so unreasonable in these cases.

Chinese symbol? Celtic knot? Star? Zodiac sign? Something tribal?

Actually, this might sound boring but just give me the standard Criss Angel with a cat. That way I know I won't regret it later.

This is something that's been around for a while now. It started kind of as a joke with some friends, and then I actually registered the domain and it became a reality. The site is cleggslist.com - and it serves as a way for me to list stuff I like, employ some fancy wordplay, stroke my own ego, and try out tumblr.  Hope you enjoy it.

Disclaimer: I probably won't update the site very often - it's been around for a while and has only seen a few updates... but it will be updated enough that it's worth mentioning here. Plus - there's nothing wrong with a little cross-promotion between my personal sites.

I never went to camp as a kid, but here's a book full of letters from kids that did: P.S. I Hate It Here

Every parent says their baby can dance, but it usually involves little more than a hip wiggle. I'm officially envious of a toddler.

Favorite move is at 2:20.

I am again late to the party on this one, but this video is "intense" and worth sharing. What does it all mean? Click play and find out.

...and then you need to listen to the Kermit the Frog/Rainbow Guy musical mashup below.

The Double Rainbow Connection (Remix) by gdelahaye

So I was on the old StumbleUpon earlier, and came across this article about the opening of Knight and Day in Seville, Spain (a city which I visited earlier this year and loved - awesome place). Anyway, it struck me that Tom Cruise was looking very tall next to his wife (or at least equally tall). I remember seeing her tower over him... then I saw his shoes.

Either he just experienced a tremendous growth spurt and simultaneous horrific case of claw foot, or he's wearing some cleverly disguised heels. Nicely played Cruise.

Staying with the shark theme. This is an old one, but still hilarious.
