Hollywoodites are the greatest comedians on the planet. Every time some celebrity wants to change their name to something ridiculous, their wish is immediately granted and the new name is emblazoned in lights and repeated like an echo in the Grand Canyon.
Kanye West decided his name was “Ye”, and it was instantly repeated by everyone, no matter how foolish that really sounds. “Charlamagne tha God”, “Snoop Dog”, “Alice Cooper” and so on. It used to be that you had to go to court to legally change your name but not any more, now you can sign contracts using your phony name and they’re honored.
So I’ve decided to change my already phony name, Black Sheep, to even phonier (if that’s possible) “Bla”, for today only, so I too can act like a Famous Celebrity For A Day. I was thinking maybe Bla tha God but that’s really sorta taken and he’s actually black whereas my black is only wool deep. “Bla” is a lot like “Ye”, only it says something special.
Which is that taking goofy names seriously is, well, goofy. I mean, imagine Clint Eastwood changing his name to Ood. Face it, we wouldn’t be able to hide our smirks.
