WHOA! Preston is my great-grandmother's maiden name and on the very short list of names I would use for a child. I AM APPALLED that Britney stole it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's what you get for not sprogging first. So sorry.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Find out what happened to the following hurricanes:
I had a reference question in grad school like this. It was "How far down the alphabet has the National Weather Service gotten, and what was the name and year of that storm?"
This was before the internet had as much free shit as it does now, and I was not allowed to consult an almanac. In fact, I called up the NWS press office, and they gave me an answer. (It was a T-name, in 1995.)

Just make sure your kid is older than hers and you're covered.
Just a thought.
OK, I guess I start making my way to class now. Nice that it's the second week of classes and I'm exhausted. @@

Try this link; they're all 2005 storms
All those names have been used multiple times. Gert-2005 wasn't a hurricane, so the teacher must mean one of the earlier Gerts, such as Gert-1999.
Dear Ben's Teacher:
FOUL!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
msbelle, if it helps any, Emmett's best friend is named Preston.
I don't know what Britney was thinking. Preston Msbelle sounds so much better than Preston Spears Federline.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
There are no one syllable words in the south.
At the risk of having to EAT IT, that's not true. In fact some of our words have less syllables than northern/standard words. Take for example what we do with crawfish. Some people would say we boy-il them, they would be the people waiting around for us to boil (I cannot think of a way to spell that phonetically, but it only has one syllable) them.

ok, Heather called me on my hyperbole. Boll (the o is actually swallowed) is a good example, as is et, thar, ma, & pa.
and, of course, to speak of a "southern" accent as if there was one incarnation of such a thing is possibly the most ridiculous thing ever. EVER! There are a good 4 distinctive accents just within Texas.

I'm sad that she had a boy. I had money on the baby name being "L'Oreal Diamond."
