Is it me, or are the names he chose to list reading as more “ethnic” than “stripper?”I mean, Mercedes in the Spanish-speaking world is a reference to the Virgin Mary, as in “María de las Mercedes,” or “Mary of Mercies.” And Jasmine or Yasmin or other variants is a very popular name in many non-waspy communities. Those names read as pretty standard to me, but maybe I just know too many non-waspy people.

Furthermore, I’ve known a lot of strippers, but very few of them would pick a name that reads as old-fashioned as Daisy. It’s a very pretty, old-timey, girlish name, not a sexxxy one. But, hell, it’s not like I should be expecting Dr. Adams to take his head out of his ass for this one issue. Has he ever actually been to a strip club, or is he too scared of the vaginas?

I think it’s time for ‘Lil Mikey to wash off his Clearisil and hibernate until he wakes up as a human

Whole species would evolve from the primordial slime, develop nuclear weapons, and wipe themselves out, faster than this.

I don’t suppose the question, ‘who died and made you center of the universe?’ would apply here – the delusion that he is, in fact, positioned thusly seems to have conditioned itself into his manly, feminist-ridiculing bone(r)s.

Other people lie because they they have selfish ulterior motives. I lie because I have access to a deeper truth that transends petty concerns of honesty.

I was about to say “Melissa Gira? THAT sounds like a stripper name. classy one, too.” what with the Gira and all (sounds like in “Gyrate,” yeah? that’s what’s really doing it for me). but apparantly you do actually have a nudie show. killer. the world would be a better place if all strippers showed asshats like Adams the door.

But they’re not offensive and belittling enough. And in Mike’s world, associating her with Reagan would be too much of a compliment.

I do love watching wingnuts complain about “academic and personal dishonesty.” Brings to mind an old saying about stones and glass houses.

Daisy is a name for a pet. like Daisy the Cow, or Daisy the bloodhound.

point of order, Mikey: there are PLENTY of other ways to make fun of women’s names without saying “it sounds like a stripper name.” Kandi Cain is a stripper name. Daisy isn’t. In fact, I can off the top of my head think of 3 other ways to make fun of the name Daisy that would be far more apt than “stripper name.” my personal favorite involves asking if she’s named after Donald Duck’s on-again-off-again girlfriend.

and does “Mike Adams” sound like the name of that guy in the frat deeply in denial about his homosexuality?
