Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yes.

I would like to show my deepest gratitude to tommyrot for his continuing useful advice regarding the correct phrasing in the English language.

Uhg. Bad thing happened. Not my fault, but I have to do the cleanup. And it's scary because it means something didn't work as expected and that's REALLY bad because how many other cases might there be? Uhg. UHG.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
really bad names for your kids
One of my cousins has named her newborn Bishop Robert [Lastname-begins-with-B]. I haven't heard the reasons why they chose that name, but I can't think of any good ones. Poor kid is going to have an awful time in school. What are they (family OR classmates) going to call him? All the possibilities are horrible. Bish? (Or worse, Bitch?) Shop? B-Bob? Bubba? Be-Right-Back? Arby? (Or worse, Barbie?)

Duh. Everything is my fault.

Oh, sara, I'm sorry.
Is it too early to try to Pollyanna this with the hope that now that you know about this, it'll be possible to look at the rest of the stuff and find out if anything else doesn't work, before it fails like this current one and causes more problems and needs for cleanups? Or is all the checking process too complicated and stressful in and of itself as it is?
[Edit: dcp, where is your tagline from?

comics
1 is a Fantastic Four/Power Pack combo - it was 1 of 4 and I am pretty sure all four have been published and out.
The other is a Spider-man and The Fantastic Four, also 1 of 4 and #1 was called "The Arrival".
THANKS
ION - I called in sick today. mac got his new brace and getting to the brace place is an ordeal, so I zipcared for the first time and it was much more enjoyable. Now he has an awesome new brace that fits and it has Batman all over it.
Now I have 3.5 free hours. Problem is I have about 10 hours of stuff I'd like to do in that time. must prioritize.

The checking can be done. And I think I'm going to insist it BE done. Because we have a small window before it goes from being a complicated thing to accomplish to verging on impossible.

Punishingly Intricate
Poor kid is going to have an awful time in school.
eh. According to my 2nd grade teacher sister-in-law, kids rarely give each other shit about "odd" names anymore. Names are just so much more diverse now then they were in the past. And I think Bishop is actually pretty traditional. I kind of like it.
