    With names like these, they belong in the Olympics right next to Dong Dong.

    Misters Jones and Lee? Did they tell each other fairy tales?

    Lee wants to be Bob Dylan. Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky.

    My favorite NFL name is Ashley Lelie --- three consecutive syllables that are all pronounced the same but are spelled differently.

    And then there's former MLB outfielder Tony Armas, whose name sounds like four consecutive body parts.

    And the other golden oldie: Members of the MLB All-Anatomy team -- Rollie Fingers, Barry Foote and the 25 assholes on the New York Mets.

    Tom Gordon was drafted by the Royals in 1986.

    We've got a local high school football and basketball player whose father is named Darryl. The kid's given name is LilDarryl (though he goes by Darryl).
