* What's i ina name anyway? There's an entire school of thought — called | the Kabilarian. philosophy — which says that names are the major determining factor in a person's life. hg hate to think that this is e. What can you do with a namé like Bob, for instance? Spell it backwards and it's still Bob... _As for what “bob” means, it's either.a shilling, a weight on: ‘a plumb fine, a float, a short haircut, or a jerky; up- and-down motion -—- which you may interpret any way you like. — A last name like Hunter is okay, I guess. I tell my kids: “Look, there are. two kinds of people in the world. The Hunters and the hunted.” ‘That gets lots of yuks around - the dinner table, although ‘ no one outside the immediate family seems to find it all that amusing. I got ribbéd a lot in Newfoundland a few years ago when I. went there to protest. against the seal hunt.

I mean, if your last name was Keen, and your Dad mamed you Les, wouldn't you want to strangle the old man in his sleep later on in life? It can't be a coincidence that Mac-Blo, the forestry giant, hired a guy named Eric Green as their PR man. It’s a perfect PR move. All Eric has to do, .really, is sit there and be Green. In School, every kid I knew who was named Arm- strong had strong arms.
