Aims, find out who needs to be kicked repeated in the behind about this, and I will channel all my "woken up an hour before my alarm was set to go off by a honking horn that was not the postal carrier" rage onto their posterior.
'The Girl in Question'
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.
Jeez, Aims. Let the smiting begin!
Wikipedia says
The city's unusual name dates to the time of its settlement. While surveying the first state road through the Huron County wilderness in 1861, Rudolph Papst and George Willis Pack made camp at the future site of the city and found a much-used and badly damaged axe. At Pack’s suggestion, Papst used the name “Bad Axe Camp” in the minutes of the survey and on a sign he placed along the main trail.
Wow, Laga. How come I never even thought to look that up? I'm starting to be tempted to join Ancestry.com again.
Happy Birthday, Seska!
I'm sorry, Aims.

Do it! Genealogy is fun and totally addictive!
I think the interview I had this morning went pretty well. At least, it felt comfortable -- some of them have felt really awkward -- and the last question they asked was whether I'd accept if they offered, to which I said yes, definitely. They said they'd get back to me within the next few days. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. (Which makes typing a bit difficult.)
I didn't skim! I was just impressed that Laga looked it up.
I was looking at an old 19th century map of the area around my hometown, and had a "hey, that's where that street name came from!" reaction when I saw one plot labeled "Jms. Caton's Farm." The street that farm was on is now called Caton Farm Road.
That's a common way to label streets in our area; the main north-south street in the west side of Joliet is Larkin Avenue, which was named after my great-uncle's farm which lay along a central portion of that road.
