This is old news, having occured last January, but I just ran across the story today. It made me laugh. Sorry if it has been posted before, but nothing came up a site search.

The sheer diversity of what makes people happy continually amazes me. Personally, I would have gone for “Z **i** ppittybop-Bop-Bop”, but that’s just me.

For what it’s worth, I think Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop is an improvement.

Google his name and you’ll get plenty of hits from his two previous arrests, one of them a year ago. His name made lots of news shows back then.

I thought this was going to be about Cosby, too.

I’ve been sitting here at my desk chuckling about that name for several minutes now. I keep wanting to pronounce it “Zoppity-Bop-Bop”, carelessly skipping over the first “bop”. I bet he gets that a lot.

Well, yeah, but the first “bop” is silent.

Do you suppose the “ow” in Beezow sounds like the “ow” in window or in cow?
