Jacobs is my first one, and my second one in Zahalian
I've went by Jacobs my whole life, but when I first got my license the guy at the counter asked me which I would like to go by. The options were Zahalian-Jacobs or Jacobs-Zahalian.
So now I have a hyphen in my name because my grandfather wanted the real family name to go on, instead of the one he wrote on the list they gave him when they immigrated to America.

zahalian is a whole lot better than jacobs though
Yeah, I'm probably going to change it to just Zahalian somewhere down the line.
It was a sort of meta-ironic, hipster inappropriate apostrophe.
I just wanted to point out an inappropriate apostrophe in what, in real life, would have been an incredibly inappropriate time
like pointing and laughing at a sign in the haulocaust museum that said "6,000,000 Jew's were killed during this period" and being all "WHAT A BUNCH OF DUMBSHITS! HEY GUYS CHECK OUT THE DUMBSHITS!"

My family name used to be Syrian... or Lebanese, can't remember which. All I know is that my great grandparents married against the wishes of their families, and one of them got excommunicated from an orthodox church for marrying the other. They came to America and some dude at Ellis Island wrote down "Kirby" instead of "hchchirrrbe" or whatever it was.
This thread had me all confused. From the sudden appearance of Eugene Hutz's face given the OP I thought maybe he was some sort of trans-gender a la Buck Angel or something.

I know these 2 girls that make out with each other sometimes when they go out drinking.
I bet there's a part of them in each of us... :P

I've made out with both chicks and dudes in order to get attention
So yes, I'd bet that as well
no, they're pavee
pavee, although called "irish travellers", are all over britain
some of my dad's family, like his great uncle (my great-great uncle, i guess?) moved to germany back before world war I
but since they were part of the family tree, they kept in touch
during WWII they were rounded up as "gypsies" even though pavee and gypsies are differnet people entirely
but their lifestyle and culture is similar enough, so much so that the nazis were like "you are gypsies end of story"
and by end of story, i mean gas chamber

and then my grandfather was super proud that they got away with it for like 5 or 6 generations.

my last name is my father's first name and his last name is my grandfathers first name etc. we have no way to keep track beyond living memory.
the bigger problem is that my parents gave me and my brother obvious first names for some reason
they were rounding up the romani, not random people who called themselves gypsies or whatever.
i learned when i was ten that my last name is basically just a generic english last name my grandfather's family chose when they immigrated to Canada
because it made them sound like respectable english people instead of a bunch of desperate schemers from Manchester who were fleeing criminal records
well, this is how it was told to me, duder.
if it was something someone in my dad's family made up in order to feel more persecuted and pissed off at people it would hardly surprise me.
all i know is how that story got told and how it made nazis the absolute worst thing ever and they should always be intensly and loudly hated
i just don't know
Eugene Hutz does not blame you though.

Exactly
I need to look into this.
I can just imagine a distant relative in the 1800s robbing a merchant or something and stealing his identity.
It'd be like that episode of Everybody Loves Raymond.

All wearing their sphincters as hats
works for me
Just the skull and spine. I couldn't stare into those dead eyes.
see this is what i thought too
but then i looked them up on youtube and i actually like their music
that blank meaning Zaha, or Zahal depending on if you are looking at it from a more Russian or Armenian/Turkish side.
I don't think Zaha was a common name, and it doesn't translate to anything, so fuck if I know.

No, I don't know any words. I am actually one of those bobbing birds that just gets shifted around to different keys at random.
If you watch the documentary about him he's actually a pretty nice guy
He can be a dick sometimes, and pretty vain, but who isn't

utilizing a complex system of pulleys and other bobbing birds
like a primitive difference engine

you see a tortoise in the desert on its back
you aren't helping
why is that?
Because all I can do is peck at it's stomach in a very regular tempo. It is my greatest handicap.
it's pretty hard to find people that actually aren't 'nice'
