don’t ever let anyone tell you that life isn’t miraculous

I was in the weeds and having an awful day as a server circa 2004 when my coworker said, "Hey, man. You gotta check out this credit card." That CC belonged to a standard-issue 50ish guy named Dick Beater. That moment still helps me.

Anyway my urologist in Austin was named Richard Chopp

nanyabzniz.bsky.social•8 days ago

I salute you for not being put off by the name!

co2expeller.bsky.social•8 days ago

He was assigned to me in the emergency room and then all other urologists refused to take me as a patient because I was his. It was some weird Mayberry bullshit.

But apprecuate the props!

"The Seattle Rangers were an entry in the Continental Football League (1965-1969). The immortal Dick Hard, was a monstrous (for the era) 6′ 4″, 300-pound defensive tackle known as “The Immovable Object”.

I actually have a Seattle Rangers decal.

In elementary school, our school bus driver was Richard Dick. He also owned a motel in town, but it was not called The Dick Motel.

I went to HS with a Richard Holder. This was the 90’s & he was a nice guy. I don’t like his parents & I don’t even know them.

Was working on county commissioner profiles and one of them was Mike Hunt. My boss and I still laugh about this one year later and bow to. Pass the lore on through the company.

When I moved to a new town, one of the first textbooks I received had “Dick Head” listed as the prior owner. I was convinced it had been defaced but no, Richard Head went to my high school.
