HRB, one of our commenters (and my brother), will be a father in about an hour. 

I don’t see HRB pulling something like this on his wife, especially after what she’s been through in the past nine months.  Still, we’re waiting on the official birth certificate name.   

ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. (AP) — A new father has secretly named his baby girl Sarah McCain Palin after the Republican ticket for president and vice president.

Mark Ciptak of Elizabethton put that name on the documents for the girl’s birth certificate, ignoring the name Ava Grace, which he and his wife had picked earlier.

“I don’t think she believes me yet,” he told the Kingsport Times-News. “It’s going to take some more convincing.”

Ciptak, a blood bank employee for the American Red Cross, said he named his third child after John McCain and Sarah Palin to “to get the word out” about the campaign.

“I took one for the cause,” he said. “I can’t give a lot of financial support for the (McCain/Palin) campaign. I do have a sign up in my yard, but I can do very little.”

Ever look at old pics and the memories start flooding back?  You know, the ones that remind you just where your weirdness began.  This is our little brother (CT on this site).  We (Suzie, HRB and I) used to put him on that flattened cardboard box, put the (decorative?) sofa pillow under his little head and drag him around the house like that.   

Here’s how it went:  Suzie:  “So, how’s my niece?”  HRB:  “Your niece has a penis.”  

Oh sure, we had plenty of girl’s names on deck, but we weren’t ready for this.   Boy’s names?  Got ‘em?  We really need your help! 

Who is this?

Who is this?  Christmas, 1965.
