Reason for sterilization No. 1,234,345
I came across this story over on the Sports Guy’s daily links and barely flinched. Apparently there’s a kid living in Indiana, Pa., (about an hour’s drive from Pittsburgh) named Seven and George Costanza and Ben Roethlisberger had nothing to do with it.
Here’s more from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
Although Seven’s parents — who live in Indiana, Pa. — are often asked whether they named their son after Mr. Roethlisberger, they were actually inspired by another Western Pennsylvania institution: After driving by an 84 Lumber sign, they “decided to go with something numerical,” said Mrs. Barber.
So don’t worry, the parents weren’t dumb enough to name him after an above-average NFL quarterback. They were inspired by a sign with numbers on it. And now that Ben’s blowin’ up they’re dressing this kid up in anything they can find with a seven on it.
Seven could also signify the amount of beatings this kid’s gonna get once he starts school, or the age at which he’ll figure out his parents are complete jackasses.

[…] Thanks for indulging my thoughts on the Office wars that fellow Craphead, Mark Bodenrader brought to The Filter audience not so long ago. I know that here at this site I am indeed in the minority, but as I previously said, I will forge ahead and not give up yet. Perhaps the magnificence that so many here and elsewhere have discussed will hit me in the future (and if so, I imagine it’ll huit me like a tons of bricks)… until then I’ll be watching NBC’s Thursday nights and laughing my ass off.
