Burns, baby Burns. Disco inferno!

Dallas' new fire chief was announced this week. The dapper and handsome Eddie Burns of Fort Worth(LOVE the butch moustache) was the man of the hour. Anyone besides me think this is funny and kinda cute? Chief Burns. Like, wouldn't someone named "Dowser" or "Waterman" be a more apt choice for fire chief?

  1. I knew of a Dr Hymen one time. Unfortunately, he was a dentist, not a gynecologist.
    And there is a Dr Doctor where I work, true story.

  2. I dunno - it might have been just TOO icky if he'd become a gyno dr. Dr. Doctor is a cute name.

    I just hope Chief Burns gets on in his new post like a house on fire.

  5. This is probably the first time anyone's thought of it. I'm not above the trite observation.

    OK. Let's cut to the chase. This was just an opportunity to stretch my legs with a freeware photo-chop program slightly more sophisticated than paint - which, although endearingly amateurish, was sort of the fat kindergarten pencil of illustration thingies. I just wanted a chance to really layer some crap and I'm pleased with the first outing. Woo hoo!

  9. There was a firm of lawyers in England called 'Swindle and Cheetham'. True.

  10. Wow- I'm in awe of that. I guess there's something to be said for truth in advertising, and what's in a name, eh tick?

  11. Two REAL plastic surgeons in Halifax:
    Dr. Precious and Dr. Pretty

    A dental surgeon in the area:
    Dr. Usher (As in the Fall of the House of Usher - a very creepy story by Edgar Allan Poe...about a very creepy family.)

    He is cute, though. Bet he's heard every joke known to man or woman about this name and career by now, poor S.O.B.

  12. There was a Dr. Foote in Philly, and yes, he was a podiatrist.

  14. It kind of reminds me of when the pro-wrestler, "Flyin Brian" Pillman died of a drug overdose... sometimes fate is cruelly humorous.

  15. lj - yeah, it's bound to be annoying

    nongirlfriend - lawyer named Cheatum? Sounds like he deserves an award for truth in advertising

    rangertom - dr. foote - that's really cute

    heather - yeah, we were born to be wild

    preplexio - wow- that is sad and twisted. I suppose Flyin Brian was high when he overdosed?
