Names PSA

What's this, another post from me? In less then a week?

First of all, let me all allay (ooohhh that's a fancy word, I hope I'm using it right) your fears, yes this is really me Bo Bo. My blog has not been hijacked and I am not being coerced by anyone to post this.

So anyway where was I?


Oh yeah! So this is a public service announcement to expecting parents and people who are planning on having offspring. Give you kid a UNIQUE name! That's right, the celebrities have it right in naming their kids Apple, Coco and  Kyd.  Yes, these are all real names celebs have given their offspring.


Bo Bo! Why would you say such a thing you ask. Well, sit down around the fire (it is that time of year right?) and let me tell you a story. This is a story about... hmmmm to keep things anonymous let's say it's about B. Bo.... no that's too obvious.... Bo B. there we go. Anyways, Bo have a fairly common name and last name. Not John Smith common, but common enough that a US customs agent once mentioned the fact that there seems to be quite a few Bo Bo's when checking my passport.



Well today, Bo received an email sent to him, addressed to him from a mortgage loan company about filling out a form with condo info. Problem is, he isn't on the hunt for a mortgage. More so, the company is a US company, Bo is a crazy (as evidenced by the use of the third person in telling this story)   Canuck . Now, if it was just a one time thing, it wouldn't be a problem. But,  Bo has the following email address: bo.bo@gmail.com and gmail has this thing where the period doesn't matter. You can write it as b.obo@fakemail,  bobo@gmail.com etc.  And the other Bo Bo's out there do not seem to have grasped this.

Bo has received, rejection letter from an IBM interview, update on new Health Insurance policy, gaming site updates (for games in a language that our hero does not speak and don't get him started on the spam). As well as update and renewal info for a YMCA in Virginia, amongst other things. You would think by now, Bo's doppleganger would get his email straight, but no. every few months a new email addressed to fake-Bo appears.

If original Bo wasn't such a nice (lazy) guy, he might've created a whole portfolio on fake Bo an applied for some credit cards or some such..... Instead, he just replies back when it's an important email that this is not the Bo you are looking for.

How I imagine I look when sending out the replies

So in conclusion, don't name the fruit of your loins John, Jane or some other common name... Instead call them Grand Master Funk the Third or Cocoa Channel No5. It will cause them a lot less email grief in the future and would be much harder for people to easily commit identity theft.

Hello,

My name is Bo Bo. You might remember me from such blog posts as Can't sleep clown will eat me... and Porn guy.

Today, I will be blogging to you about a serious matter.
 Bathroom cabinet doors. They appear friendly. Useful even. Allowing people to store various bathrrom items and keep them away from the casual pee-er and poop-er. Making snoopy guests take an extra step and thrill into looking what you have behind your back.

However, behind this friendly facade lies the sadistic mind of the door corner. Yes... this seemingly innocuous and innocent looking thing is justa trick to lull it's victim into a false sense of security.In reality, it lies there watching as it's trap unfolds. It patiently waits in it's half open position for a prey to crouch down and pick something up. Then once that person stands up, it pounces! Driving in, cutting skin and drawing blood!

Be careful or you can become it's next victim

So be careful of this silent attacker. Remember, if you aren't looking inside the cabinet, close the door. Otherwise, the next time it strikes, it might happen to you or a loved one!

P.S. If anyone asks, I got into a fight and you should see the other guy. Chicks dig scars right?
