Earl Ray Tomblin; Earl Ray!....... Was he actually named after the murderer James Earl Ray?
Or is Earl Ray in W.V. as common as a Justin or Tiffany in Ca.?

2. First of all: James Earl *Ray* was the guy who killed Martin Luther King.

Second: James Earl *Jones* is an actor. As far as I know there isn't any James Earl Ray Jones.

As to your question:

23. Obvious to most. But to you, its all about how clever you are.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. I think you insulted me, but I can't tell for sure.

But that's OK.

3. Who is James Earl Ray Jones

Are you thinking James Earl Ray who killed MLK?

Are you confusing him with James Earl Jones, the actor.

At any rate, Tomblin was born years before James Earl Ray killed MLK.

5. He played saxophone with Bing Crosby, Stills, and Ogden Nash

In the 1980s he was briefly the CEO of Jennifer Love Hewlett-Packard Bell and Mr. and Mrs. Howell.

[busterbrown]

16. Yes I was...... So sorry to all for my stupidity. Now did you get your kicks?

Am I Fucking out of my mind?

I don't know, but your reaction to the man's name is not really logical.

6. Enquire of your wife or gf if you're fucking out of your mind...

Kitchen tables are interesting places....or workplace desks.

7. Good grief.

Honey, you can't fling a cat in the South without hitting an Earl, a Ray, an Earl Ray, a Ray Earl, or a Rayette Earlene. Don't sweat that stuff. There's work to be done.

10. Maybe. Don't worry. It happens to the best of us. Breathe slowly, hyperventilation is dangerous.

Remembrance of the death of MLK is still a painful thing to many of us. Take care.

12. Well James Earl Jones once said "People will come, Ray. People will most definitely come."

It all makes sense now.

[Ikonoklast]

22. Was he reading for a porn film?

Bow-chika-wow-wow.

27. Field of Reams?

No that was James Earl Bones

[bluestate10]

17. Double names like "Earl Ray" are common in some parts of Appalachia. nt

[bluestate10]

20. You sort of got carried away on this one. The Gov's name type is rather common in

dueling banjo land. Some of the name are pretty cute.

21. I spent sixth grade in Alamogordo, NM. There was a Joe Bob and a Joe Tom in my class.

I'd never heard of a Joe Tom before that.

30. Don't forward this OP to Jimmy Carter.

It would hurt his feelings.
