Yes, my name is actually Ian Ono. I have been teased relentlessly throughout my life. Once, in high school, I posed for a local paper in Hawaii with the bass clarinet player, of my high school's wind ensamble. The photographer asked the conductor what my name was. When he told him, the photographer responded with, "Ian Ono? Ian Ono? Nobody is named Ian Ono". In that edition I was forever known as Ian Ota. Anyway, here are the stuff I had to hear growing up (in chronological order). If you think of anything original, please write me.
