Top baby names of 2009 are out (in time for Mother's Day).
Neither Leif nor Emaryn made the list. I'm a little surprised Leif didn't come up in the top 1000.
Stop that right now! I can hear the smacking!

A FRAUD! A FRAUD AMONGST US!

The buyer for my house terminated the contract because they are afraid that at some point in the future there might be a termite infestation,
Corwood, that is so lame. It's the south. Any house she buys that's not a concrete bunker has the potential for a termite infestation. If her termite company uses a baiting system, she won't be exposed to chemicals at all. Doesn't she have to have a reason that doesn't cause people to point and laugh in order to terminate a contract?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Dude, termites AT SOME FUTURE DATE? Sheee-it, my house could have a piece of Skylab land on it tomorrow, but neither we nor the seller felt that it was possible to inspect for anything beyond currently-existing Terminators.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Sorry about the flakes, Corwood. That is a pretty bizarre reason for backing out.
I know my parents told me what my name would have been if I was a boy, but I'm not sure I remember. Michael? Andrew? I know I was confused as to why my younger sister's what-if-she-was-a-boy name was different from mine - they hadn't used mine, why not go back to it? Or why my name wasn't the name my brother would have if he'd been a girl (though I don't remember what that was, either

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
If I had been a boy, I would have probably been Daniel or Zachary.

Yeah, it does seem efficient to use the if-it-were-a-boy name the next time you have the opportunity, if you're going through all the choosing anyway.

Boo on that buyer, Corwood. Boo!
I am sure I have told y'all that I was going to be Louise until my brother intervened.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I would have been Adam if I were a boy.
I think my parents were surprised by all our genders (or at least, they didn't tell their existing children in advance - I was surprised by all three of my sibs).

“Not dead yet!”
Happy Birthday, GC!
Good luck, Theo!
May a plague of locusts descend on those clueless buyers' heads, Corwood.
Umm... that's all I've got-- copyediting has ated my brayne. But I'll be done with them today! Oh, frabjous day!
