I will wait for megan to arrive and point out that "Cheviot" would not be pronounced that way in actual French. Faux-French may have different rules.

Hah! I was just contemplating this and had decided to refrain.

I think Cheviot would be something like "chev-yo" in French

And then Amy did my work for me.

Thanks for picking up the slack while I was walking to work!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Though, actually, checking a map, it's only slightly farther to where I live than to Nashville. And only an hour to Asheville, NC, which is lovely.

Nashville is over 250 miles away, so I doubt anyone there knows about pizza places (for a gift certificate) near campus, or some other idea to stick in his graduation card.

He's made the right choice for him, I think. But he's grown up in Los Angeles, mostly.

Because books.

I'm shocked I got it right!

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

I am mildly amused that I have friended enough people from high school to have my current FB friend suggestion be Vinny Del Negro, coach of the Chicago Bulls.

After all, I live in a state with a town named Versailles, pronounced Ver-SALES

There's one of those near Pittsburgh!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

IIRC, the town of New Madrid in Missouri, of earthquake fame, is pronounced by the locals as New MAD-rid. A good friend of mine grew up in Kentucky near a place called Hurricane Ridge, pronounced HAR-kan.

Anyone in the market for good genetic material: Halle Berry has split with Gabriel Aubrey, AKA the impossibly lovely baby daddy.

Arizona legislature targets 'human-animal hybrids'

The Arizona state Senate on Thursday passed a bill making it illegal for a person to “intentionally or knowingly creating a human-animal hybrid.”

The bill, which passed 16 to 12, would prohibit anyone in the state from “creating or attempting to create an in vitro human embryo by any means other than fertilization of a human egg by a human sperm.”

The measure would also outlaw “transferring or attempting to transfer a human embryo into a nonhuman womb,” “transferring or attempting to transfer a nonhuman embryo into a human womb” and “transporting or receiving for any purpose a human-animal hybrid.”
