Drusilla ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It was interesting at my father's funeral, tracking how long the people who showed up had known him by what name they called him. Guys who said, "Yeah, I was just talkin' to Skeeter last week," had known him since high school, but the ones who just said Bud were only post-war friends.
Never did find out why he was called Skeeter.
I have an uncle who goes by his last name, Howard. His first name is Expedite. (Though I think some people call him X.)
Oh, that's so funny. Expedite! Was he overdue, or something?
I like the cat name leroy, too. What a funny name for a cat!
Now, to bring two Buffista conversations together, do you pronounce the name LEE-roy or Luh-ROY?
my desk=disaster area and I can;t seenm to figure out where to start. WAH!!
Compress everything into the desk into a small hard object, then use that to kill somebody, then cannibalism. All three problems solved!
No. Tu has a middle name he said, and I forgot, but apparently Tu is it.
Possibile middle names that would make the name worse:
Day
Knight
Laroolaroolaroo
Tu
Oh, that's so funny. Expedite! Was he overdue, or something?
In grade school I had a classmate named Early. He was born early, of course.
He was often late to school, so we sometimes called him Lately.
do you pronounce the name LEE-roy or Luh-ROY?
Yes
I think my default is Lee-roy, because of Bad, Bad Leroy Brown, but it's a name I listen for, as I do for all versions of Megan, because you can't tell by the spelling.

Leave everything exactly as it is. If you move stuff around you'll mess up the archaeological filing method. (Where the deeper you dig into the piles, the older the stuff becomes.)
I went to college with a woman named Spring Starr Pillow. She was a theatre major, so I want to believe it was a stage name. (She lives in Cincinnati now, and is the director of a children's theatre, and is known as a "local night club diva," and still goes by that name, so maybe it's her birth name. Who knows?)
