Calling It Off
dearoldlove:
Who cares whether someone calls them “Reese’s Pieces” or “Reesey’s Peecies”?
I do. I just do. The words already rhyme, so unless you go around in the rest of your life saying “peecies” instead of “pieces” there is no excuse.

Public figures who name their children after...

Rod Blagojevich to fill the Senate seat vacated by President-elect Barack Obama, one of the most interesting facts has to be that he named his children Roland and Rolanda. (And that he’s already built a mausoleum for himself, complete with a list of accomplishments). (Trib, emphasis mine)
