"As my best friend, _______, tried to kill me..."
Thrice again, from Creative Writing.


As my best friend, _______, tried to kill me, I wondered why in the world would I have a friend named _______? How would you say that out loud? "Blank, come here!"? Or would it be "Underscore underscore underscore underscore underscore underscore underscore, come here!"? What about their last name? Would it also be blank/underscore underscore underscore underscore underscore underscore underscore? Or would they not have a last name at all? And how would you know gender? For example, a name like Patricia is female, but Patrick is male. And are they still normal people, just with strange names, or is their behavior strange as well? Theoretically, you could name your child Jeffy_32_*/, although that's kind of a mouthful. "Jeffy underscore three two underscore asterisk backslash comma, how dare you act like that towards your mother?" And if your name was all underscores (going back to the very beginning), what if you had to fill out a form that had "Name: ____________" (Name with a big blank next to it). It wouldn't look like you had even written anything. I think I went a little off topic. I was in the process of being murdered by my best friend with a strange name. How horrible would that look in a newspaper?
LOCAL STUDENT MURDERED BY _______!
Would that make the newspaper look stupid? Like they put a blank because they didn't know the name and never filled it in? Although, if someone were really named _______, I think it would actually get a good amount of publicity. It would be like that guy that wanted to legally change his name to KentuckyFriedCruelty.com. It's good advertising, if you think about it. I'm sure many people logged onto that site in that short period of time that the story was popular. It's like people who sell their head for tattoo advertisements. How sad is that? What has this world come to?
