You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

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

Last name, Yurbowyls?

Heh. No, it's Yurbladder.

Or maybe Werprohibited.

Ann, that's a ferret.

There are at least two other people with my first and last name--an Irish artist and a South American socialite. Low-assed odds.

I also know of two with my first and last, but one doesn't really count because he's my father. (Such is life as Fred, Jr.) The other was a TV clown.

A really excellent profile on Michelle Obama, especially her being a product of the South Side of Chicago.

Antonia?

“Not dead yet!”

Yep. Maria Antonia. Said in Spanish, it flows really beautifully and given how many Marias there were in my family, it was the only way to keep track of them.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Which gives you Marie-Antoinette in French, but I doubt that's going to be used anytime soon. Even if my grandmother's name was in fact Antoinette.

Our wings are not tired.

Love the baby name talk!

Yes, Jessica, Buffy is really a Buffy. Real name is Elizabeth. When we were little I really, really hated her name and would call her "Barfy". 'Cause I was nice like that. Then when I was 19, I visited her in Nebraska and a waitress at an all-night diner heard me call her (affectionately) "Barfy" and told me that the least I could do was switch it to "Barney". So, now, 20 years later, we still call each other "Fred" and "Barney".

Steven has already named any children we are to have, or so he thinks. Sebastian and Sydney. I like Sebastian but I strongly identify Sydney with OJ Simpson, so that one will likely be switched.
