Ooooohhh! Good job, Annie. Weiner is a truly awful last name. My dad grew up in Weiner, AR. Can you imagine going off to college and having to tell people you're from Weiner?!

I have two:

Koch (It's pronounced "cook" but still)

Same for Fuchs (Pronounced Fyoush)

I work with people with these last names and you've gotta think they get tired of people mispronouncing them...

2. Sweat (as in Keith)

CHEER! I didn't realize who you were....I'll have to catch up on past entries.

How about any last names that resemble alcohol? ;-)

Two towns that should not be located near each other:

High Point, North Carolina
Climax, North Carolina

I mentioned my first grade teacher and want to capture it here for posterity:

Miss Schermetzler (spelling?)
