I am a huge Ichiro Suzuki fan.

I didn't know Ichiro has a last name. I thought he's like Cher.

Cher's last name is Sarkisian.

That reminds me of the second piece of advice that John Wayne gave Michael Caine about being a Hollywood movie star.

The first was "talk low, talk slow, don't say too much".

The second was "don't wear suede shoes.... because you'll be standing there taking a pee and the guy next to you is gonna turn around and say "hey, aren't you _________".

The thing was, Rush Limbaugh wasn't famous yet. This was in the early 80's before his radio career.

I know Cher has a last name, but I've never heard of anyone refer to her that way, and I've only ever heard Ichiro. For a long time I assumed it's his last name. I can't think of any other men who have had their first name as a mononym.

One of the guys I work with every day only has one name.

For demonstration's sake let's say his name is "Indigo". Some of the tools we use require a first and last name, so he has to enter his name in both the first name and last name fields. So he comes up as "Indigo Indigo" on conference calls when his name is actually just "Indigo".

The conference call tool actually creates an icon for each attendee and his icon is a circle with II in the middle. It looks like a pause button.

Dante too.

[odeon]

Nah. Galileo was actually Galileo Galilei and known first and foremost by that name, and Dante was actually Dante Alieghri, which I believe might have been short for something.

[Calandale]

And Ichiro was Ichiro Suzuki.

Point?

None of them iz Prince.

Only what I said.

Bezzboll been veddy, veddy, goot to me.

I used to love playing baseball. I even enjoyed a number of games with my dad. In my early thirties I coached a women's softball team, to great result.

These days. it is just more sport things hardly worth watching.
