You Let This Happen.

You know how some words are really very strange, but you're used to seeing or using them anyway? And sometimes you look at it a certain way or repeat it to yourself a few times and the extreme oddity of the term leaps to mind. Try "garage". Just say it quietly to yourself a few times. Weird, huh?

Next: How the hell did I become accustomed to LL Cool J? I mean, I know he's been around for a while and he's very successful and likable. That does not, however, explain how normal that name sounds in contrast to how completely unreasonable it really is. Ladies Love Cool James? What was everyone so busy with that we let such a re-goddamn-diculous pseudonym past? No offense, Mr Ladies Love, its just that I read it with the right mindset to be completely hilarious.

people said the same thing about The Beatles. I've been in bands and got a little bit of success with one, and our name was Fingertight. we regretted that name since the first time we had people we didnt know come to our shows. 2 years later we had a record deal, with that ridiculous name.

The artist's success makes the name, not the other way around.

but yes, Ladies Love Cool James? aye.
