Mal ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
[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.
I first heard the religion joke as a joke about the South:
A man is standing on a bridge railing, ready to jump. A older Southern woman comes up to him and says, "Son, don't jump. Think of your family."
The man sobs, "I'm an orphan."
She says, "Think about God and his mercies."
"I'm an atheist."
"Then son, think about Robert E. Lee."
"Who's Robert E. Lee?"
"Go ahead and jump, you Yankee scum."
Yowtch. The Pale Hose are crushing the Bosox.
I read that as Pale Horse and thought "Wow, this time the Apocalypse is personal!"
We are talking about the Red Sox, after all.

They did the apocalypse thingie last year.

Nah. Rapture's just the beginning of the end times.

BWAH! I'm so sending this to my dad. He'll love it.
I just loaned both our baby name books to our neighbors, who are expecting their second daughter next month. Their first is Alexandra, nicknamed Alex, and they kind of like androgynous names, but have taken Dylan and Ryan off the list because we'd kill them for using the former on a girl, and their best friends Ryan and Kim would do the same over the latter. We agreed that it's harder to name a second child, because you want something more or less in the same style without being so similar they sound corny together. And I grumped about the new Supreme Court nominee as probably ruining Harriet for me. (The current presidency has turned me off any form of George--before 2000 I liked Georgiana a whole lot, but...no.)

I think I'd do the same to anyone who thought they had veto power over what I named my own child.
Um, Jessica, there was a certain tongue-in-cheekness implied there, though as a matter of personal taste I dislike androgynous names or seeing traditionally male names appropriated for girls.
