Mention of craft beers reminds me of a similar observation by a home-brewer friend of mine: “If it’s even arguably edible, someone will sooner or later use it as the primary ingredient in pizza, ice cream, and beer.”
I think we’ll run out of racehorses before we run out of names for them. So many people will see the practice as inhumane that it goes out of vogue if not illegal.
I knew that there was a limitation on length of a horses’ name, so it fits on the racing form… I used to live near Arlington Race Course in Illinois. Never went to a race. I’ve got too many other demons clamoring for my attention…
This I know: It will be a while before the world runs out of unofficial names for buttocks. And that’s already the part of the body with the most official names.
Sharp-eyed readers with good memories will notice that Frazz’s t-shirt sports the logo of Old Ox, the Virginia brewer who created the Frazz-tribute “A Hoppier Place” NEIPA. Which, I’ll mention, is really good stuff. It’s nice to be able to thank them in kind. I really love my job.

At this rate, we’ll run out of names for hurricanes before any of those…

The answer is racehorses. They can’t use filthy words for them.

Racehorse names can be reused. I forget how many generations need to pass. Although very famous names like Man O’War probably can’t.

Do anyone of them have to get beyond the “pronounceable” qualifier? Perhaps I should ask Lil Nas X.

Ah, found it. Regulations for naming thoroughbreds.

Taxonomists are clever—they can always go to a numbering system, considering numbers are infinite.

Some rock bands are having to resort to just using punctuation. !!! is an actual band name.

One of the great (albeit fictional) band names: Löded Diper, from Diary of a Wimpy Kid. (The older brother of the main character’s band)
