Well, lotta people name their kids Jesus or Muhammad. Why not go old school and name jr after the god of war?
Now I need to know what Katy Tur named her kid, cause she’s actually funky.
Edit: Theodore (aka, Ted). LOL. She’s so funky she needs to compensate. “Just act normal. Play it straight.”
She’s 34 years old and her TV show name is a pun on the band that did its most famous stuff before she was born. This can’t be unexpected.
I can hear the narration of this kid’s life story, like Ray Liotta in GoodFellas: “My folks named me Mars, so every now and then I had to take a beatin’. But by then, I didn’t care.”
The real backstory is that if it had been a girl, they would have named it Venus. It’s just unlucky for Mars that he was a boy.
That’s why my child will get the gender-neutral name, Uranus.
Never forget the jerk parents Ha Ha Clinton-Dix must have.
Backstory
This math doesn’t check out. Fees are $43 per semester, out of state tuition is $150, so if $43 then = $400 now, $150 then should be closer to $1500 now, not $2k. The BLS inflation calculator confirms $150 in 1951 dollars is just under $1500 in 2019 dollars.
I used to claim that I invented “amirite” in 2004, but have since stopped doing so.
I will name my first born Horologium Supercluster
I invented “Albuquerque Turkey” in 3rd grade. Then one of my friends claimed he invented it. Things almost came to blows.
I first used “bom chicka wow wow” circa 1984 and will continue to claim inventing it until proven otherwise
I thought I was the only person who remembered that the “bow-chicka-wow-wow”. I, too, am amazed that this PARTICULAR snippet has lasted so long and so ubiquitously.
If it helps, I first remember it from the MTV Half Hour Comedy Hour in a bit from a guy who was talking about the power of backstage laminates.
posted by ColdChef at 8:17 AM on February 3, 2004I can’t seem to find the name of the comedian, but it was a white guy, and the first part of his set was about porn music (that’s where he introduced the “bow-chick-wow-wow”) and then later he was talking about backstage laminates. He was saying how much power was in them (I strongly believe that Mike Meyers stole this bit for the “Wayne’s World” movie) and then he segued back to the “bow-chicka-wow-wow” as if the laminate was powerful enough to even get a guy like HIM laid.
That’s all I remember.

Hmmm Dead 2 Rights: The true origin of "Bow Chicka Wow Wow"
But where did the phrase originate? Who came up with the idea of verbally mimicking the music from 1970s porno flicks? I distinctly remember the phrase first being used as part of a stand-up comedy routine in either the late 1980s or early 1990s. With a little “Google fu,” I think I have tracked down the creator of this concept: a stand-up comedian named Jordan Brady. Here is a clip of Jordan Brady from an early 1990s stand-up show called The A-List. Watch and decide for yourself…
Naturally the clip is dead. But Jordan Brady definitely claims to have coined it.
Incredible director Jordan Brady stops by to tell us all about being the originator of the line “Bow Chicka Bow Wow” on today’s Sklarbro County!
Probably has as much effect as lying down or going up a flight of stairs.
Ha Ha is a nickname
He was actually named Ha’Sean
I invented the selfie. Not the word but the act of taking your own photo with a camera in hand. True story
