I already told you I'm looking for the largest teddybear I can get delivered.
If the teddybear talks, too, I will have to kill you.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I hadn't even thought of that!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Please remember that my DH has always wanted to name a child Shazam. Recently he has also offered "Zoom". He's apparently not smart enough to know that if he keeps this up, I'm gonna whack him.
If its a girl you could name her Zoe Marie (or something else that starts with an M) and call her Zoom. Because Zoom is a great nickname.
The saddest part may be that the whole free-for-all obscured a legitimate question. Namely, "How can we reconcile my security needs with the religious requirements of my neighbor and his friends?"
I saw it more along the lines of "how can I tell my neighbor the obvious -- letting strangers into our NYC building all day isn't exactly cool," but, yeah.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Congratulations, Sparky!
I'm sorry, vw.
Wow, this is a great day to have a head cold. I can watch a TDS rerun and hang out on b.org. And take lots and lots of drugs. Yum, phenylephrine-errific!
And thanks for the welcome-back, y'all. Senegal was amazing. I got to watch the fishing boats leave and come back from my hotel room every day. People were very kind in working with my minimal French. Dakar markets are amazing, especially the day before a major festival. The ICASA conference (a big meeting about AIDS in Africa) was good, and people seemed really interested in my organization. We do health care capacity building, which is very "in" right now. And I got to shake hands with the Princess of Belgium, which was delightfully random.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Also a fair way to phrase it, Trudy.
A very energetic child might be able to pull off "Shazam" or "Zoom" as a nickname. And the right type of off-center child might -- might -- be able to pull one of them off as a middle name. As a first name, no -- unless you want to enter Moon Unit Zappa territory.

Yay! A little spark is on the way!
It sounds so cool, Calli.
(Edited because "I sounds so cool" is an entirely different sentiment, and also written in lol cat.)

Calli, that sounds just fantastic. Please tell me you took lots and lots of pictures that we're going to get to see?
Babyfras' middle name will be my last name. My husband's last name is Abramson, so when he suggested Zoom, I countered with the fact that if we were going to name the kid a noise, then we might as well call him/her "Oy!" since we'd probably be using it anyway, as in, "Oy! Who's the cutest?" and (more likely) "Oy! Look at this mess!"

Because books.
I hadn't even thought of that!
Good god, don't give her ideas.
