Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.

Saffron ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'


Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Hey, what's that wedding site that you can look up where someone is registered, if you don't know exactly where they are registered?

brillig

Ancestors . . . I've got a Zorababbel, a couple of Bethia's, lots of Johns and Edwards and boring stuff. But I've also got an honest-to-god pirate, so I beat all of you. Jan Jansen van Harleem, AKA Murat Reis, Governor of the Fortress of (something Arabic).

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'll toss in my great-great-grandfather Storm Z. And a great-grandmother whose last name was Hubbard.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, and I totally knew you lurked here.

I'm the mad lurker what lurks at midday. (When I should be doing other things.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Gabriel sounds nice, and I do like Gabriel Byrne.

However, during Emmett's tenure at the JCC there were roughly 93 Hundred Gabes, which I am not so fond of.

And you're also seeing other traditional E-names without the Em sound, like Eleanor

JZ has been pimping for Eleanor pretty hard. I checked the name thingie and it's not been popular for 60 years.

Oh, I love Alistair. I doubt I could ever talk Dylan into it

No, duh! This is the kind of name JZ is always trying to saddle our potential sprog with. I had to point out to her that she needs to let go of her tweedy Brit-boy love because a child named Alistair is going to get his ass kicked on the playground on a regular basis. It is an Invitation To Abuse name.

call him Al. (as Paul Simon would say)

If I only had a brain...

because a child named Alistair is going to get his ass kicked on the playground on a regular basis.

This is why our son wasn't named Simon. Sigh.

What is even happening?

Please know that I really like the name Emmett, and as your Emmett is the first modern Emmett I "know" I like it even more. But, I would think it has as much kick-me quality to it, as does Alistair.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

It is an Invitation To Abuse name.

Please.

In the Bay Area? In this day and age? I think you are dating yourself, Hec.

If an Emmett or a Paris can survive in the wild with little to no actual problem, I think an Alistair would be JUST FINE.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And, really, if the kid is sending off "beat me" vibes, he'll get beaten up for the slimmest of excuses. Doesn't have to be his name.
