I've heard a lot of people say a lot of things about Pulp Fiction. It starts with the ubiquitous specualtion as to what's in the briefcase and goes all the way to the burnt out letters on the Killian's Red sign. But no one ever mentions all the name-ryhming. I can think of four examples off the top of my head:

Bartender: "My name's Paul, and this shit's between y'all."

Jules, in the apartment: "My name's Pitt. And you ain't talkin' your way out of this shit."

Buddy Holly-waiter, at Jack Rabbit Slim's: "How about you, Peggy Sue?"

The Wolf, at Jimmy's house: "How about you, Lash LaRue? Can you keep your spurs from jingling and jangling?"

What's the deal with this? Maybe Tarantino just did it because he likes to. (After all, he did end up doing a movie called Kill Bill.) Still, I want answers. Oh, wait, I forgot "Zed's dead." And I might even consider "Our man in Amsterdam." Oh, and doesn't Butch say "Bye bye, sugar pie," or something, to Fabian? And there's the "Honey Bunny" character as well. There's also an "eeny, meeny, miny, mo" in the movie. Maybe it's because the whole thing is one big, twisted nursery rhyme.

Have a good Presidents' Day, everybody. Think of Coolidge vs. Wilson. And happy Two/20/06 for those of you who know what that means.
