  • Russell? Seriously?

    Like many of you, I am addicted to HBO’s True Blood. Best. Show. Ever. Certainly the best vampire show. How then, did they come up with the bone-headed scheme of naming a 3,000 year-old vampire king Russell? Seriously? Russell means “red” so I can see the meaning, but seriously. A tri-millenial vampire should surely rank a spookier name than Russell.

    However, since they feel this name is fitting, and from the storyline, it looks pretty certain that King Russ is going to be offed soon, I have some alternate names for the replacement king:

    1. Cuthbert
    2. Bubba Joe Billy Bob VI
    3. Pinkus
    4. Tiny Jim
    5. DJ Toofs
    6. Bingo the Clown
    7. Sunshine Deathray (which is apparently a real name)
    8. Mustafah Jones
    9. Dick Cheney
    10. What would you name the new vampire king?
