Flashy Freddy's Fabulous Friday Five - WE Name Winter Storms Now?

Freddy Choyle

This week from the Midwest to New England, winter storm Hercules dumped a furry of snow. Followed by a blistering cold streak, the weather has been less than pleasant. It could be I am over analytical, or the fact I'm going stir crazy, being trapped  in my tiny living space for to long, but I couldn't help but poise the question. When did we, start naming winter storms?

It seems to be far to convenient as the motion picture Hercules is being released, we get dumped on by winter storm Hercules. I'm far from a conspiracy guy, but you have to admit, it's a little too coincidental. What the brain trust who select these storm names doesn't realize, is how they are ruining people's life's. Think about it. Who wants to hang out with Katrina, or Hugo?

This weeks top five, things you should never, ever name.

Top Five Things You Should Not Name

#5 - Dinner - We all grew up with fuzzy and cuddly farm cartoons and books. The reality is farm animals are gross and are not very polite when it comes to odor. Naming a lobster in a tank before eating or a cow at the local farm before slaughter is almost cannibalistic. Why develop any type of attachment at something you are about to devour?

#4 - Days Of The Week- The calendar system works just fine. Twelve months a year, fifty two weeks, and seven days per week. The system is nearly flawless. Hence there is no need to rename the days of the week, or give them quirky acronyms. Don't misunderstand me. I'm fine with Wednesday being Prince spaghetti day. However I loath "Wacky Wednesdays" or "Manic Mondays" this hasn't been clever since 1956. It's just a pathetic attempt at marketing...........Don't forget read my blog Flashy Freddy's Fabulous Friday Five.

#3 - Your Car - No matter how much of a gear head, or car lover you are, naming a two ton piece of steel and bolts is silly. Talk about a meaningless, empty relationship. You feed it, you care for it, you stress over it. For your efforts you get the fortune of, spending literally thousands of dollars to insure it, to fuel it and to clean it. The moment you drive a car off the lot it depreciates in value.  Sounds like my last marriage.

#2 - Sea Monkeys - What are they anyway? What kind of person has Sea Monkeys let alone name them?

---

#1 - Your Gentiles - Naming one's penis is just juvenile and I can't imagine what type of woman names her vagina. However if I had to name mine, Id call it the micro hammer.
