Oh, just riffing on the political-ad-ness of your phrasing.

There's a message from Tim describing The Inside on FOX's official site for The Inside.

Unfortunately, it's written by some guy named Tim Minnear.

Oh, fer Chrissake.

Oh good. Now I can stop with the stopping before I say his name aloud, just to make sure I'm remembering the long i. I vote we change his name to Minnear, officially.

Next, all the Alisons, Allisons, and Alysons (sorry, Ms. Hannigan) have to change the spelling of their names to Allyson, because it is the spelling I now best remember.

Kristin has to change her name to Kristen. I don't know how we'll distinguish between you, but that's best left for another day.

All the Megan-Meaghan type people have to settle on both the way to spell and pronounce their name.

I'm changing Sunil's name to Sam. Sorry, P-C.

There shall be no more Cyndis out there, and the girl Sydneys are gone, too (I'm looking at you, JG).

All parents desiring to name a daughter Julie will have to name them Julia, but are free to call them Julie, as a dim.

Lori, I'm sorry, but you just became a Laura, and your lori is now Laurie.

We can have two Catherine type names, one for the C people, and one for the K people, but there must be uniformity amongst them.

There will be no Jeffreys. Your formal name is Geoffrey, like Chaucer, although you are free to use Jeff as a nickname.

Furthermore, all the Joshuas must abandon Josh as a nick, because it's too close to Joss, and I can no longer say Josh. Yes, I know Whedon's given name is Joseph. No, I don't care. Strike back. Call yourselves Joe.

People on this board who use real sounding names, which are not their actual names, must go to the courts to apply for a legal name change. I'm looking at you, Trudy Booth.

S-E-A-N is the only acceptable spelling for the name Sean.

J-O-H-N is the only acceptable spelling for the name John.

J-O-N-A-T-H-A-N is the only acceptable spelling for Jonathan.

Finally...nah. She can kill me with her pinky.

(examining pinky) I just wish someone would clean the goddamned a in that site. Simulated wonky typewriter is not my idea of cool.

Cindy gets awfully bold on holiday weekends.

I don't have wine, so I have to make my own fun.

It's all fun and games until someone loses an i.

So long as "David" is safe (and, really, can you possibly object to that spelling?) I'm good.

Gimme a break. We rename Davids all the time.

eta: From the FAQ

Q. Who are Manservant Hecubus and Knut the Difficult?

A. Dana started it. We have quite a few David-type people and Dana noted this on the thread, and proceeded to rename the offending Davids. David Schwartz became Knut the Difficult, David S. became Manservant Hecubus. Hilarity ensued.

Here's how it went down:

Dana D. - B.3.650: David Rothschild (we have entirely too many Davids around here, between Smay, Schwartz, and Rothschild. I demand that two of you rename yourselves to Lucien and Joshua), I *loved* that movie. Bloody brilliant stuff. [The movie in question was Being John Malkovich.]

David S. - B.3.651: I apologize sincerely for my Davidness and hereby rename myself Dana.

David J. Schwartz - B.3.661: Lucien? Joshua? No. I prefer to be called by my viking sobriquet, Knut Hoarfrost.

Susan O - B.3.672: So who is Joshua and who is Lucien? And can we all join in a chorus of "These are the Daves I Know" from the Kids in the Hall?

Dana D. - B.3.673: Well, David Schwartz insisted on being difficult, so now he's Knut.

Valarie Cook - B.3.689: (De-lurking) so David Swartz is now going to be known as Knut the Difficult?

Dana D. - B.3.690: I like it. So it is written, so shall it be.

David S. - B.3.692: Well, I'm damn sure not going to be Lucien. If David Schwartz gets to be Knut the Difficult, then I want to be Manservant Hecubus.
