So Nicolas Cage and his wife, Alice, named their newborn son Kal-El.
For those of you who are NOT nerds like me, Kal-El is Superman’s original Kryptonian name. Again for you un-nerds, Krypton is the planet from which Superman came.
And if you don’t know who Superman is, then I hope you don’t live near me because I will find you and personally poke both of your eyes.
to summarize: Superman is the greatest superhero ever.
[[ no you shutup! he IS real, you ninny!! MO-OM!!! ]]
Eniguey, i’m kindofa geek, and my first thoughts are “COOLNESS!” because, well, I wanted to name my son Kal-El. cuz, well, i’m kindofa geek. Not just cuz I’m obsessed with Superman, but also cuz it sounds cool. KAL-EL. It’s got a strong sound to it, y’know? And even sounds Hebrewish with the whole ‘el’ at the end. ‘El’ in a hebrew name usually relates to God, so even better right? I mean, c’mon, Kal-El. That’s radical, man.
My next thoughts are “DANG!”. Cuz, well, I’m kindofa geek, and I wanted to be the first celebrity to name their kid “Kal-El”. Which, of course, then leads to your probable thoughts: “but you’re not a celebrity, you moron”.
First of all, don’t call me a moron. Secondly, I realize I’m not a celebrity, but ….so? I still wanted to be the first celebrity to name their kid Kal-El.
Oh well, now I guess I’ll be the second. Or maybe I’ll think of another trendy name like Bionical. “Bionical! Bionical! Hey my little Bio…Bionical Allegory Gomez!! getcher little punk-butt down here THIS INSTANT! don’t make me get the hangers!!
crap. the last name ruins it. ‘Gomez’. that’s not that interesting. well, i’m a celebrity, right? so i can change my name, or rather ‘anglicize’ or euroize it like every other closet-latino.
Like Gomet, pronounced “go-MAY” or Goames (rhymes with roams). something random like Gough, O’Grady or Shabazz. or maybe I’ll just change my last name to KENT! yeah! that’s the ticket!!
Bionical Allegory Kent! Wash up for dinner! and you’re not wearing your Davy Crockett hat to the dinner table!
hmm..doesn’t roll off the tongue.
but i digress….
I still like Kal-El. oh well. stupid Nicolas Cage and his weird wife. Which reminds me, the kid’s full name is Kal-El Coppola Cage. (KKK?) Stupid kid is gonna grow up ’socially secure’ and ‘well off’. an upbringing i like to call ’spoiled and privileged’. Even if Nicolas Cage somehow ruins his career or divorces his wife, little Kal-El is still a friggin Coppola. Aside from the whole Godfather franchise royalties he can mooch off of, there’s still the wineries he can mooch. Ah, to be spoiled and privileged and know nothing else.
probably not all that great.
and now, besides getting tired of using capital letters in my sentences, i wonder if mr. cage named his kid Kal-El because of his failed attempt at being cast as Superman in a new movie? I remember a few years ago Cage wanted to play Superman. But it never happened, so maybe this is his way of showing his bitterness at his never getting the role. haha, okay no that’s probably not true, but isn’t it wonderful how you can assume things and make connections, and then proliferate it through the media as if it were actual fact? besides, it’s probable, why not believe it?
kinda reminds me of the great american hero, michael moore.
ba-dum psssshhh!
no, seriously, i think i remember readin that cage is a superman fan. as he should be. as everyone should be.
ALL HAIL THE SUPERMAN!!
You are sooo funny! I loved reading your comment!
