How You Like Him Now?

Posted by on Fri, Dec 12, 2008 at 4:24 PM

I just got this note from Slog tipper emma's bee:

I thought it was interesting to peruse the link with the large donors to Obama's inaugural. Dale Chihuly kicked in $50,000. Now I feel bad for trash-talking him on Slog.

Chihuly gave twice as much as Jamie (Lee) Curtis and Christopher Guest, and the same as Robert Zemeckis.

Chihuly also gave the same amount as a fellow named Cantwell Muckenfuss, who works for Gibson, Dunn in Chevy Chase, Md.

Stop it. That cannot be a real name. But it is THE BEST NAME EVER whether or not it's made up. I'm changing mine.

Chihuly donated so he'll be invited over to the Lincoln Bedroom.

Don't cry for him, Argentina.

I must say, it's pretty damn nice getting some recognition for the good shit I've been doing.

I literally made creme brulee for Cantwell Muckenfuss IV (his son) on Thursday night. He always causes a stir on the internet when people find out his name exists.

I am very proud to be a close relative of Mr. Muckenfuss.

His name has been recongized in the media - an entire article was written just about his name in the Sept. 29, 2002 edition of the Washington Post!

His middle name is Faulkner, making his legal name Cantwell Faulkner Muckenfuss III.

He goes by the name "Chuck" - or just "Fuss" (that's pronounced "foose").

His father went by the name "Muck" (of course!)

Our family has many generations of people with outstanding names. Aunt Tollie was married to Uncle Gip; Aunt Zip was married to Uncle Bos; and our grandmother was Mommie Alice, whose mother was Mama Colquett.

What are the best names in your family?

I forgot to mention - a guest columnist wrote an article in the
St Petersburg Times, January 31, 2006, that cites Chuck's name
in "Schlomo? Some people call selves the darnedest things"
