Where's the weirdest place you've ever found YOUR name?

[Blue Sky]

So, I'm wondering, have you ever seen your name on something that had nothing to do with you? Pop can, billboard, etc.?

First off, I'm Skyler Slifer. Most of my friends call me "Sky". A pretty rare name, if I do say so myself.

Well, a friends little daughter got a Yu-gi-oh card as a door prize. It's name?

Slifer the Sky Dragon.

Man, that's weird.

I mean, really weird.

So, what are your weirdest stories?

My name is also that of a big corporate company here in France, and is also the name of a small island right in the middle (well, so to speak) of the pacific ocean. But that's all.

Ingrediants on a soda can, creeped me out for a few months and didnt buy a soda in that time period.

Right when my son Stuart was at the height of his "Oregon Trail" computer game craze, we saw a car with Oregon license plates (marked "Oregon Trail" along the top) with the vanity tag "STUART" - that was pretty weird.

I always have a billboard running with my name and picture on it. It's a marketing and advertising tool related to my business. I hate driving by it. It's so freaky to see my big head amongst the clouds.

So you put up a billboard with your picture on it, and it creeps you out to see it?

Hee hee, you're complicated.

Name game

I went to an italian restaurant that had original paintings as part of the decor and above the table we were sitting at was a work by an artist of the same name. I didn't think Del Valle was a common name (I'm also only slightly italian and the names isn't).

This was several years ago. I was probably in high school at the time.

I'm sitting at home, sitting in the recliner, reading the reader's digest (probably the jokes) and this ad for Reese's peanut butter cups comes on.

This was one of a series of ads about how different people like to eat their Reeses Peanut butter cups. And this little black boy comes out with a cow and it says "so-and-so eats his Reeses Peanut Butter Cup with milk" and the boy says "come on, milk!"

It really freaked me out. Only a handful of people have ever seen that ad, though.

Don't feel strange about that - I think we all have felt a little odd when we've noticed that 'soulweaver' is one of the ingredients in our soda. I mean, what are those soda companies up to, anyway.

Amen to that.
