You know how the names of NPR correspondents and hosts can be kind of amazing and beautiful. Well…

The Atlantic:

Of course, hearing a string of uniformly, gorgeously unusual names one after the other can have a different effect. Greg Studley, a stand-up comedian and screenwriter (“so you know, bartender,” he says) listens to a lot of NPR. One day last December, he just couldn’t listen to the news anymore; the journalists’ sign-offs at the end of each piece had begun to take over. At first, he was just distracted — “huh, that’s a unique name,” he thought — but then it became the “elephant in the room” of his NPR experience. Finally, he wrote a song about it. “We didn’t start the pledge drive,” he sings. “There’s a cash uptic when host names are ridic.”

I did not hear him mention Ofeibea Quist-Arcton, but I’ll have to give it another listen.

While taking this picture, I was listening to this drunk guy pleading with some woman: “But we can love each other.” Her: “Well, as long as it takes to walk to my car.” Thing is, in this lot, that could be a long term relationship. At least, that’s how it seems crossing the lot after #kyderby
