[Dixielandjazz] Re: Christian names

[Bill Hildebrandt]

A group of our military folk in Taszar Air Base in Hungary have been busy
training a group of about 60 Iraqi exiles who want a chance at overthrowing
Sadam. One of the exiles was an 18 year old who was always listening to
rapper Tupac Shakur on his headphones. The drill sergeants named the recruit
"Tupac". His older brother and his beer-bellied father were also at the
camp, and were nicknamed "Three Pack" and "Six Pack" respectively.
