Unhappy

Sorry Marc, it was me that started that whole "glitter thing"

but, I swear I've never, ever gone to the mall with my pants hanging off my butt.

I think you should talk to pgh_medic about that one.

The glitter thing is a conspiracy between the school art teachers and the manufacturers. The teachers get the kids hooked into using it with arts & crafts programs at school and inevitably it winds up in every crevice of your domicile.

The glitter factory located on the grassy knoll is more than happy to crank it out. The cosmetics companies caught wind of this and now market that glitter filled makeup directly to the kids. If it keeps going like this, glitter will become a sort of kiddie crack!

Children. Those of us love children as long as they are not seen and not heard. Any one that takes his or her child to any restaurant more upscale than McDonald’s shall be asked to leave immediately.
Children who “are just being children” and begin to cry incessantly every time they don’t get what they want will be the responsibility of USA Licensing, where they will be taken to spend several years of hard labor stitching Swoosh onto Commemorative Sweatshirts for 4 cents and a bowl of gruel a day. Children who are not good at such stitching may one day be demoted to the rank of shoe lacer.

Actually it is my real name
My dad is also a Norman and it was his turn to name a kid and that is all he could come up with. Oh well. It definitely is not a very common name nowadays. I wonder why?

There is nothing wrong with your name Norm. At least it sounds better than my name. And my name is Joey. "Norm" sounds like an intelligent name. Your name was handed down from your Dad. And "Joey" sounds like I'm named after a baby kangaroo. Sheesh! Go figure.

"I'm named after a baby kangaroo." ROFLMAO...

Joey is not a bad name either. Last thing I would think of from the name Joey is a baby kangaroo. I would think of someone that likes to make peace...

You really want to know a bad name for a guy? Carol, a friend on mine back in high school was named Carol, what a screwed up name for a guy...

A guy in my high school was named Walter, which is a good, intelligent-sounding name. Except that it didn't go too well with his last name, Mellon. What were the parents thinking...

I agree, Walter is a good name, but boy, the last name poor kid...

See so Joey and Norm are not bad names at all.

My biggest pet peave while driving is when that little horizon, or honda, pulls out in front of me and thinks that my full size pick-up will stop or slow down as well as their little sport compact. I love filling up there back window with my grille and Ford emblem, they usualy get out of the way real quick. Then I have to peal my wives fingers out of the dash! HA.

Norm,
I think you missed the point .....Norm can be short for Normal.

I guess that is one thing that gets on my nerves .
