Sneed B. Collard III: Hi, this is Sneed B. Collard III, and my name, believe it or not, is a real name. I did not make it up as a lot of people accuse me of doing. The name Sneed, I have no idea where it comes from, but it probably is from the British Isles somewhere. It's been a first name in my family for about four or five generations, but it was probably a last name at some point. And one of my tasks or one of my goals in life is to someday figure out where it came from. But it's pronounced Sneed as in seed, in fact, the first time I went to Disneyland, they wrote Seed on my Mickey Mouse hat instead of Sneed, but it's pronounced Sneed B, middle initial, Collard, like collard greens, if you've ever heard of those. And the third, which means that my father and grandfather were both named Sneed B. Collard.
