Ordered a coffee from Starbucks at Warner Brothers Studio, and thought I’d have a little fun with the name. I told her my name was  Marlon Brando.

It could have been worse, Marlin.

Kids these days amirite ? Ne ver heard of Brawndo? It’s a classic!

Yeah, I guess so. I was hoping the barista would call the name out loudly, but he was maybe 19 years old and in the zone. He’s probably never heard of Brando anyway.

Was at the mall around Xmas and gave my name as Santa Claus at Chick Fil A. That got a good laugh.

I would have accepted one alternative spelling. But I guess that is old nowadays too...

I know a guy named Marlon.

But he spells it Marlin.

Like the fish.

When I texted my dad I wanted to be a barrister he was so proud. Years later I achieved my dream, and as I make him an Mini Java Chip Frappuccino it turns out I can’t spell and he isn’t proud.

I must be old, because I don’t know what Brawndo is.

From the movie Idiocracy.  If you're old it's painfully funny to watch.

It’s from a movie from 2006. Which, to me, isn’t very old. But that 19 year old was 6 at the time.

Back when restaurants would announce groups over the pa I always said my group was Donner to hear the day Donner Party of 10 over the PA, few people got the joke

Now that’s comedy gold right there. I’ll have to remember that. I will often give my name as Moses. Very easy to hear, and doesn’t get confused with Jim.

First and foremost, this is unacceptable. Secondly, I’m going to start giving Psych names at Starbucks from now on: Hollabackatcha, Felicia Fancybottom, Bad News Marvin Barnes, Brutal Hustler , MC Clap Yo Handz, etc.

Working as a barista once I got a cup with “Superman” on it. Are you fucking kidding me? Fine. I’ll have fun with it.

“Medium mocha for the Man of Steel!" Guy was cool and got a good laugh

You’d think they’d at least get the reference from modern parodies...

The ASO brass quintet does an educational show for K-3 graders and we end with an arrangement of The Simpsons theme. Fewer and fewer kids are getting it

They  probably don’t get the reference in the first place.

That’s a good one. I use “Billy Ray” as my name anywhere that asks. Because of Billy Ray Valentine of course.

Marlon Brando died in 04. People born into a world where Brando was already gone are almost able to legally drive now.

You should have gone with Arianna Grande for the size pun alone.

Also, Starbucks baristas do not know how to spell “McDildertits”

Well, the Barista Promise doesn’t guarantee spelling.  But at Warner Bros. branch, they should be required to know at least the classic movie references.

I think I mentioned a few weeks ago that I asked for skim milk at Starbucks...she hesitated for about 5 seconds. “We have fat free milk, is that ok?”
