The Origins of the Great Cornhernio

I'm not sure when, exactly, I got the hernia, or what I was doing, much like the Druids in Spinal Tap's song "Stonehenge." I have three theories:
1: Over the winter, when I was doing leg presses or sit-ups. Hear that, girls? I'm a He-Man!
2: On a recent trip to New York City, I may have swung an overstuffed, and quite large, duffle bag the wrong way. (Are duffle bags supposed to contain actual duffles? What is a duffle, anyway?)
3: At a wedding about a month ago, I was jerking my body about arhitmically, like an epileptic with a seizure. Some call this "dancing."
There are things in life we may never know the answers to: What created the earth? What do you call those little plastic things on the ends of your shoelaces? Where do babies come from? How did I get a hernia? Maybe the answer lies within ourselves, maybe it's "out there." We can only stare at the stars … and wonder.

What if they remove your hernia and it turns out it was the source of all your powers??

Of course, Coby for short.

I also like "Ralph" though.

And "The Captain's Parrot"

"The Fuzzy's littlest Fuzz Ball"

"The Third Egg Out"

Oh don't worry, this will go on for years after Coby's gone... all the names will be used, reused and expanded on well into your late 40's I'm sure.

I think you got your hernia from all the crazy, acrobatic sex you've been having. Am I right? I would name it Herbie the Hernie. Take care of yourself! Let me know when your surgery is and I'll make you soup! :-)
