{{Jason Cropper quote|When I was born, my dad ran into the delivery room, and he's like a hippie kind of dropout scientist in Berkeley or San Francisco or something in 1971, and the nurse says "what are you going to name him?" as she's about to write my name down on the birth certificate, and he says "how about Zoltan?" and apparently the whole room just went silent. There's three doctors and all these nurses and everybody's like... "uh, get that guy out of here." | |||
So then a couple days later he and my mom were talking about it apparently and he came back and was like, "How about Jason?" and she was like, "I think that's great." | |||
