That doesn't surprise me. It happens pretty frequently at the movie theatre when home office redesigns a pass or creates a new pass without informing the theatre managers. Usually the first (few) guest(s) who tries to use the pass gets turned away.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Apparently the name "Nevaeh" is not uncommon. (Spell it backwards.)
So..."Not!Heaven"?
Why not just skip the pretense and call the child Hell?
Hell Damnation Conat.

Hmmm...

Ann, that's a ferret.
Reading a little further down in the entry, I've discovered that Triumph's middle name is Perseverance.
Has a 17th century Puritan vibe.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Like naming your kid Temperance?

I was wondering if Triumph's first sibling would be named Harley or Indian.

I know someone whose first name is Alicein and her middle name's Wonderland. She says it's not so bad though since her sister is named Baheah Sunshine.

It's when the higher ups initiate an EXCITING NEW PROGRAM or whatever and fail to tell the reps anything about it whatsoever. Your call may actually have been the first time the rep heard anything about it.
THIS THIS THIS!!
"Guess what! They're rolling out the 2008 version of the program today! Remember when we showed you some mock-ups of what we were thinking the screens would look like and asked for your input? And then there was no time to let anybody take a look at the nearly-finished product because the developers were still working on it and we needed you on the phones because of the end-of-year rush? Well, it's rolling out to about 30,000 customers today, so we're expecting a big increase of calls on the program."
"Oh, and let us know what kind of problems they're calling in with, especially with installation, because they weren't able to test with some of the OS platforms in combination with the third-party programs our biggest clients prefer."
Yeah, it's been a hellacious few weeks.

A lot of these people are big-time admirers of the Puritans.
But still. I'm as big a Napoleonic-era history geek as you're likely to find, but I can faithfully promise y'all that if DH and I ever have a son, we're not calling him Wellington Napoleon W.
