My sister and I were reminiscing about our childhood and talked about the kids who lived across the street.  The youngest's name was BJ, which is bad enough, but their last name was Godown. 
The worst part is I never actually thougt it through until my sister pointed out the combination was pretty bad.
BJ Godown.  I kid you not.

Does BJ stand for anything? I mean, ha, I know what it stands for, LOL. But as his name does it stand for anything? ;-)



I mean, I can get creative and cutesy (to say the least) but that's CRUEL.

I went to middle school with a girl who's last name was SACKRIDER.
First name Angela.
I kid you not.
I remember having to stifle my laughter in class when I first heard that last name.

I knew a kid named RYAN SACKRIDER.

And I just looked, and you went to school in Michigan! That's where I live. This kid was from Zilwaukee, I believe. Maybe they were related. haha.
