What's in a Name!!!!

For as long as he can rememeber (roughly translated to a few months....the Meister's memory is horrendous to say the least...that's why out of every disease in the world...Alzheimers does not scare the Meister) theMeister has been ambivalent about his name.......not the elegant, debonair name of Shockmeister but the alias of Bishwaksen....which the Meister has been told conjures up images of Po the Panda or a half-man half-wus...... 

The Meister knows what you lot are thinking......how in the name of bejejus can 2 allegedly sane dudes name their kid Bishwaksen..........well their defence is "permanent insanity". Don't be mistaken, the Meister's whole family is insane. 

Show the Meister anothe family which has specimens with names like Bitanbindu, Bishanbindu, Bidita, Binita, Bishwaksen, Bijetri and Bibashwan...

A major chunk of the Meister's whole life has been spent trying to teach people how to pronounce his name...

Bishok, Bishwa and Bishak are quite common..........throughout his whole highschool years, his Economics teacher called him Boishakho and his Geography teacher - Bishwasena

So you can imagine the Meister's friustration during his formative years....but now as a soon-o-be-senile mature proletariat, he can appreciae and enjoy his name.

He can appreciate it more as he has become exposed to other gemstones of names, for example




Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii, Benson and Hedges, Violence, Number 16 Bus Shelter, Variable and Midnight Chardonnay...all from New Zealand......if you don't believe the Meister go check BBC

and the following are commentators from BBC

Russell Sprout, London, UK
Ftango Molasses, London England
Craig Gogay, London, UK
Jenna Dana Bananarama Rater, Cardiff, Wales
C. Shaw, Portsmouth
Slick Bryn Davies, Manchester
Egnorwiddle Waldstrom , London, UK
Mangled Brown Fence-Post, London

The follwoing nameswere supplied by the Closet Newcastle Swupporter:

sincerely, bravery, shining star, joyfulness, twilight, Jeweller Synrem

all of them are real people.......Khasis rock!!!!


So, after looking at these pearls of wisdom which have fallen from the parents of all the above mentioned, and keeping in mind, his own family's eccentricity (understatement of the century), the Meister has decided that if he ever has kids, he is gonna name them any of the following

Bozo, Bambam, Balls, Bugger, Belial, Betal


Just another reason why no girl is gonna marry the Meister
