IN ISRAEL, THEY CALL HER "SHOKO" *
I'm not sure why Ireland is breaking stories about Courtney Cox and David Arquette, but okay...
Apparently, that wacky David is half-Jewish (his mother, commonly referred to as "the right half" when discussing blended families with traditionally observant Jews). Apparently, Courtney wanted to name the baby after her mother, who's also named Courtney Cox. So CoCo was a compromise, because apparently frum David didn't want to violate the Jewish tradition of not naming a baby after a living person.**
*Shoko means cocoa, or chocolate in Hebrew. If you knew that, you'd find Shoko Cox hilarious. If not, you lose. So everyone study Hebrew.
**Thanks to Miriam for sharing this one.

I would make a comment about the media acting like news with celebrities is major news, but then... Who am I to talk? :P
I hate blogger reason number 54927:
I totally started reading this post and was like, "Why does Ken Wheaton care? And how does he know?"
Echoing Candance thoughts, i was reading Ken`s blog thinking why is Esther mad at Zach and not Mandy? And then i realized it wasn`t Esther who was writing. AHHH!

Hopefully, either my Candygirl or the Funnyanator will explain to me what the bejeezus is going on here, as you two seem to be in your own Ken-and-Zach related commentland that doesn't seeem to me to be related to this post...or am I dementing?
It made me smile, but I am really overtired.
I was just commenting on the fact that your templates are the same and i check your blogs daily so sometimes i don`t qite remember who i clicked on. So sometimes i assume i`m readin My Urban Kvetch especially it has something　to do with Zach Braff not Ken`s As I Please. But you are right - this has nothing to do with this particular post.
I will say that i hate when people name their children after themselves. I feel that a name is important part of your identity, especially when one is young. Naming your child after yourself seems to me such blatant disregard of your child`s independence (and yours as well).
Speaking of the "funnyanator" - in my last year of high school - while getting drunk - my friends came up with a new drink called the "funnyanator" in my honor....ahhh memories.
Ahh...Ken's blog and mine look the same. Now I get it. A little slow after a spate of holidays, but now they're over and I can return to whatever normal is for me.
