A New Zealand judge has ordered a name change for an embarrassed nine-year-old girl called Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii, a local newspaper reported Thursday.
What kind of yob is going to do this to a kid? Normally, I wouldn’t be behind a judge making a ruling like this, a court order that actually is stripping specific parents of their rights.
If you found out that your best friends were going to name their child Talula, you’d probably say something like; “Oh, that’s different, old family name?” But, if they told you that they picked Talula Does The Hula, you’d talk them out of it. Adding “From Hawaii”, is just piling on.
Family court judge Rob Murfitt said in a judgement made in February — but not released until Thursday — that oddball monikers created social hurdles as children grew up.
“She fears being mocked and teased and in that she has a greater level of insight than either of her parents,” he said of the girl.
You got that right, judge Murfitt, too bad you couldn’t take this a little further and court order the parents to change their names to Idiot and Moron.
The judge discovered New Zealand parents had given their children some other unusual names including Number 16 Bus Shelter and Midnight Chardonnay, both of which may relate to the conception of the child.
One child was named Violence and two pairs of twins were called Benson and Hedges and Fish and Chips. The children from one family were all named after six-cylinder Ford cars.
What is going on over there in New Zealand? Is this a New Zealand thing or, is this going on elsewhere too?
Violence!!?? Awww….look at little Violence, isn’t he just soooo cute.
We’ve all heard the story about Robert Johnson, standing at the crossroads and selling his soul to the devil.
Nowadays, you don’t even need to leave the house.
CNN reports that New Zealand man Walter Scott put his soul up for auction on the website, TradeMe.
“I can’t see it, touch it or feel it, but I can sell it, so I’m going to palm it off to the highest bidder,” Scott, 24, said on the sale site.
And, as always happens when somebody tries to sell their soul on an auction site, the site took the auction down. But, Mr. Scott was in luck.
Rachael Allison, head of marketing for Hell Pizza, which has outlets across New Zealand and trades on a naughty image, said the company contacted Scott shortly after the auction was removed and offered him $3,800.
“The soul belongs to Hell, there is simply no better place for it,” Allison told The Associated Press. “He was pretty delighted.”…
Allison said she would fly to Scott’s home town of Wanganui on North Island Friday “to pick up the soul — or at least the deed of ownership.”…
The deed would be hung on a wall at the company’s headquarters in the northern city of Auckland and an image of it posted on the company’s Web site.
There you have it, Hell Pizza, who would of thought? They have cute, themed pizza names like, Doom, Envy, Greed, Lust, Mayhem and “the 333, a snack pizza with 1 topping for your little devil”.
And, now they have a guy’s “soul”.
Hmmm…..How about it, $3,800, would you sell your soul for pizza?
I gotta keep movin’

I don’t know how I ended up at this article from the Nelson Mail in New Zealand. It’s about The City of Nelson Highland Pipe Band, some recent shows that they performed and, how they are using some non-traditional instruments along with the bagpipes.
What caught my eye was this photo of 16 year old Callum Gilchrist, on the left, and his brother Jayden, 19.
Do you suppose the top hat is a subtle tribute to Slash?
Callum commenting on the event said this…
“Just the whole atmosphere, the crowd, there was a whole lot of hoo-ha.”
Rave on brothers!
