St. John, Sean St. John, Seymour St. John, Sherry St. John, Silvia St. John, Simone St. John, Sinead St. John, Sissy St. John, Sky St. John, Skylar St. John, Solomon St. John, Spike St. John, St. John Church Music Ministry, St. John's Academy San Juan, St. John's Church Oldham Boy's Choir, St. John's Episcopal Choir, St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church., St. John's On The Hill School, St. Johns Ambulance, Staff At St. John Bosco Youth, Stephanie St. John, Stephen St. John, Steve St. John, Steve St. John, Steve St. John, Steven St. John, Stewart St. John, Stewart St. John, Sue St. John, Summer St. John, Susan St. John, Suze St. John, Suzi St. John, Sylvia St. John, Sylvie St. John, Taira St. John, Tamara St. John, Tammy St. John, Ted St. John, Terry St. John, Terry St. John, Terry St. John, Tessa St. John, Thania St. John, Theodore St. John, Theodore St. John, Theresa St. John, Thomas St. John, Thomas St. John, Thomas St. John, Tracy St. John, Travis St. John, Trevor St. John, Trianna St. John, Tricky St. John, Tucker St. John, Valerie St. John, Vera St. John, Vivian St. John, Wahne St. John, Walter St. John, Warren St. John, Wayne St. John, Wesley St. John, Will St. John, Will St. John, William St. John, Zachery St. John, Zak St. John, Zak St. John, Zeke St. John and Zoe St. John... does Kate St. Johnston count? Maybe, but I try to keep these things separate. For example, St. Johns that have an initial in their names like Bennet B. St. John and D. St. John Howell and D.J. St. John and R.J. St. John and Richard R. St. Johns. Speaking of Richard R. St. Johns, there's the plural form in names such as Anna St. Johns or Anna St. Johns or Anne St. Johns or Ashley St. Johns or Bill St. Johns or Jason St. Johns or Mac St. Johns or Sue St. Johns or Walt St. Johns or Adela Rogers St. Johns. Incidentally, what about other four-named St. John people like Ann Marie St. John and Candace Walters St. John and Gregory Nassif St. John and Jai Oscar St. John and Jean Paul St. John and Marlon Clavier St. John and Mollie Bickley St. John and Mollie Bickley St. John and Peggy Ann St. John and Rebecca Naddeau St. John and Steven Joseph St. John and Steven Joseph St. John and Steven Joseph St. John and Vanessa Lynn St. John and Wylly Folk St. John and Yvonne Dutra St. John? Should THEY be made separate somehow? And how about separation devices like the hyphen, to be found in names like Anderson St. John-Ingleton or Ashley St. John-Yantz or Dave Kovalow-St. John or Erica St. John-Mildmay or Gladys St. John-Colegrove or Karen Kovalow-St. John or Natalia St. John-Porther or Trevor St. John-Gilbert? Then you've got people whose "St. John" is sandwiched between a first and a last name, like Catherine St. John Smith and Chase St. John McGaffie and Chris St. John Smith and E. St. John Birnie and Edward St. John Brenon and Edward St. John Brenon Brenon and Ella St. John Blakey and Ella St. John Blakey and Emily St. John Mandel and Emily St. John Mandel and Ewan St. John Smith and Henry St. John Cooper and Irvin St. John Lucas and Jay St. John Payne and Jerome St. John Blake and Jesse St. John Geller and Jesse St. John Geller and Joe St. John Smith and Marion St. John Webb and Maximus St. John Mueller and Michael St. John Smith and Michael St. John Smith and Michael St. John Smith and Michael St. John Smith and Mitchel St. John Mejia and Nell St. John Montague and Norman St. John Stevas and Oliver St. John Fogarty and Peggy Ann St. John Wenger and R. St. John Harrison and R. St. John Roper and Rich St. John Dutra and Ronald St. John MacDonald and Sally St. John Hollis and Tom St. John Barry and Trevor St. John David and Trevor St. John Gilbert and Trevor St. John Hacker.

Then there's the one named people like St. John or St. John or St. John or St. John or St. John or St. John, or people with St. John as a first name like St. John Alexander and St. John Barned-Smith and St. John Bowman and St. John Carlberg and St. John Colon and St. John Curzon and St. John Deakins and St. John DeZilva and St. John Erhard and St. John Erskine and St. John Ervine and St. John Frizell and St. John Gore and St. John Green and St. John Hankin and St. John Jazzband and St. John MacNeil and St. John McKay and St. John Myers and St. John O'Rorke and St. John O'Rorke and St. John Requejo and St. John Requejo II and St. John Springett and St. John Stephen and St. John Stuart and St. John Terrell and St. John the Apostle and St. John Wolf. So what to do with a guy like St. Johnny? Well, those of you who've met him know he's more than deserving of his own category... but he's not an auteur, so you'll have to go to a different blog for that... just checked. It's a band! Well, they're good, just not Teenage Fanclub good. Almost forgot! Leave us not forget the next generation of St. Johns, like Terry Lee St. John Jr. and... oh, I guess that's it.  

And yet, not an auteur in the bunch!  Which brings us to a feller named Al St. John.  Sadly, he now resides in the big DGA in the proverbial sky, but once he was kinduva big deal here on Earth!  I mean, look at that résumé!  Over 300 acting credits!  Bizzy busy guy!  He's got his OWN WEB SITE, for Gawd'z Zake!  And someone's even paid to keep the domain name and everything!  It doesn't default to CenturyLink or some such, like soooooo many others do these days.  He was one of the original Keystone Kops and... oh, I guess that explains a lot.  He was a nephew of Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle.  Whelp, it's like that one poet laureate said: Carl Laemmle has a large faemmle... better to see the documentary about it.  But back to Al St. John.  His directing career was during that Golden Age during the silent... sorry, the Silent Era.  Hollywood seems to have a "Golden Age" every few decades or so, but surely Al got in at the right time, when it seemed like they'd let anyone do anything, and sound didn't add an extra dimension to everything yet.  Al's last directorial effort is 1925's Service.  No, he apparently had more fun in front of the camera, and at some point acquired the nickname "Fuzzy."  Other than the occasional A Face in the Crowd... the Fog, he wound up playing a character named "Fuzzy" Q. Jones quite a lot.  Quite a cutie!  I mean, he's no "Broncho Billy" Anderson, but so few are; that guy was a dynamo.  But yeah, "Fuzzy" Q. Jones.  Wonder if that's where L. Q. Jones got his name.
