[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.

Fanshaw!
Crazy, right?!
Get outta here! Really?
I'm generally pretty good at this sort of thing but did NOT see that coming.
When I see the long Indian names in the credits of movies, I wonder if they have to be truncated to fill out the various computerized forms people have to fill out or if the forms are scalable.
There there's Taliaferro.
Taliaferro
Now, wait a minute. I used to know someone with this name. It was pronounced Talley-u-farrow.
Is that not right?
In happy news, I've decided to treat myself to a deep tissue Thai massage today. I expect to be in happy pain shortly.
I can't imagine ever changing my name, it seems like a such a huge hassle for such an antiquated reason. But then I also don't imagine ever having children and thus having to think about the group/family unit all having the same last name.
I know my changing my name initially was because my Dad adopted my step-brother and step-sister (with the same first name as me) and so she and I shared the same name from junior high and I was just over it. Oddly, I am the only one who has a trace of maiden name left in my name. I liked that name. I just wanted some flexibility.
