The Name of the Year Tournament is back! A bracket of 64 names has been set, and they will compete against each other until a winner is declared sometime in the future. All 64 are new to the tournament, and all are legal names. The number one seeds are Tilmann Buttersack, Gaylord Gumbie, Pope McCorkle III, and Shuntavyious Primes-Willes. Whether they can last through competition with Daystar Smallboy, DiCaprio Bootle, Oozi Cats, Onno Hoes, and Burm Snart is anyone’s guess.
…past, present, and future accomplishments play only a small role, if any. What matters more is the look of each name’s particular arrangement; its sound (we suggest our readers say all these names out loud before passing judgement); its rhythm, cadence, and meter; the power of the whole created by its two (or more) parts; and a host of other technical factors that can improve the quality of a name without the merits of the individual attached to it ever coming into play.
If you can’t see the names on this bracket, they are much larger at Deadspin. Voting will start soon at Name of the Year. -via Digg

At least if he forgets the words, who's gonna know?
Also, it's spelled duct tape.
...But what a waste of talent.... - With such capabilities, this guy could be an ultimate multilinguist if there ever was one instead of squandering his abilities on rapping in a fake language...
'I will warn you that if you just don’t like the tone, beats, sound of ethnic music you really wont like hip hop in general, however that would make you a typical bigot.'
Are you serious? So if I don't like classical music does that make me bigoted against white Europeans? What a stupid statement.
I don't think I could eat the amount I want to barf.
We also need a future international language. One which is easy to learn, as well !
And that's not English ! Esperanto ? Let's move forward :)
At least Bill Shatner speaks Esperanto. Please confirm at http//www.lernu.net
