OH DEAR ...
It turns out that my middle name signals that I am perhaps destined for less than great things:
Kirk Wayne Larsen--speeding on I-95; incessant listening to 80s synth-pop.
Ms. Stewart has an unusual hobby: clipping newspaper articles of a particular ilk. She sent me xeroxs of her most recent finds. All of these clippings were from The Dallas News, from February 2006 to the present. The articles had two things in common: (1) all of them were stories reporting on crimes, and (2) the perpetrator’s middle name was “Wayne.”
I have to say I was stunned by the number of examples she sent me:
Eric Wayne Kelley—sex charges
Nathan Wayne Green—kidnapping and beating, homicide
Ronald Wayne Spencer, Jr.—triple homicide
David Wayne Rhodes—10 years for practicing nursing without a license
Larry Wayne King—homicide
Paul Wayne Mitchell—Theft
Michael Wayne Hills—theft
Jeremy Wayne Hopkins—homicide
Garry Wayne Carriker—knowingly having unprotected sex when HIV positive
Bruce Wayne Potts—homicide
Joshua Wayne Jones—assault of officer
Billy Wayne Sinclair—homicide
Billy Wayne Boyer—assault
Billy Wayne Miller—attempted murder and robbery
Kenneth Wayne Downs —sex assault
Jerry Wayne Lucas—attempted homicide
Tony Wayne Swinnie—aggravated assault of grandmother in front of her grandchildren, robbery
Larry Wayne Dacy—home invasion
Richard Wayne Miles—police standoff
Charles Wayne Thomas—homicide
Kirk Wayne Larsen--speeding on I-95; incessant listening to 80s synth-pop.

Yes, and one of the great frauds I've known in my life was a Wayne Calvin Murray. Yet one of my very best soldiers was a young tanker named Murray Wayne Van Lone, killed in action while advising Vietnamese allies on 20 January 1968. Likewise, there's GEN Wayne A. Downing, one of the architects of the modern Rangers and a special operator of repute. And, of course, back in the early days of the republic, we had Mad Anthony Wayne.
