Peter Popoff
Ok, so I know that I'm, according to my wife, terminally 14, but after a night of drinking Rolling Rock I woke up to find a preacher on TV named Peter Popoff.
Now that's funny!
Now that's funny!

Anyone remember 60s gubernatorial candidate Peter D. Beter? Ran against Arch in the '68 primary, I believe. More proof that the internets can find anything: Here's a quote from the legend (who, it appears, wisely later referred to himself as Peter David Beter):
"As I speak to you, the ante has gone up due to the leakage of radioactive plutonium-239 super poison from the Bullion Depository at Fort Knox, and the government is doing nothing whatsoever to stop it! My previous information was that the region which has been primarily affected by the leakage over the past several years consists of a swath through Kentucky, my home state of West Virginia, and Virginia with a combined population of over 9-million people. But on November 8, 1975, a secret meeting was held in the White House..."
And so on. I was thrown in junior high detention for singing his campaign theme song in the hallway.

An obituary in today's Columbus Dispatch for Dick Butt.
How would you like to go through life with a name like that?
I'd rather be a Boy Named Sue.

I went to high school with a guy named Bucky Beaver.
There used to be a summertime youth center in downtown West Hamlin that was run by a guy named Jack Hyanright (high-an-right).

When I was at Parris Island, we had a couple of guys who enlisted via the 'buddy system'. You can imagine the grief these guys got for 3 months....'What's you name, stupid one?' 'Private Head, SIR!!!' 'Whaddabout you, dumbass???' 'Sir, the private's name is Private Gay, SIR!!!!'
Poor fellas; it was misery for 'em. The DIs did that to them EVERY DAY for 3 months.

Played a year of baseball with a guy named Dick Swisher. And the funny thing is (in all seriousness): his uniform always looked funny...
