:mellow:

That's not even mentioning the little blond-haired, blue-eyed boy named Magerah... after The Jungle Book.*











*Yes, that's what his mother told me.
Did you mean Bagheera, or did the mother mess it up?

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

At Jak's graduation last night, there were two girls with the middle names Imunique and Unique. Jak's response, "Clearly, one of them is wrong."  :lol:

I'm not sure you should be the one to cast stones.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Is she American?  I know that in Russian translation of the book, it was indeed Magerah.  I imagine other language translation would have similar differences.

If by Russian you mean white trash, then yes. :)

BTW, I named my son Gideon.

I find it funny that you people laugh at the blacks for naming their kids Labisha or something, but then end up giving your kids names like this.

Gideon has a heritage that goes back thousands of years, and is thus exempt from the criticism of modern names like Labisha or Madison. You can say it's an ugly name, but you can't claim it's not really a name at all.

See, I don't buy this line of argument - it's like people who ridicule Mormons for having wacky beliefs but believe in zombie Jews turning water to wine only because it was a long time ago.

Weird names are weird names and have exactly the same effect on the child - whether they have been invented thousands of years ago by a shepherd eating mutton or three months ago by a post office employee eating fried chicken.

Sorry, his name never got him ridiculed. Unsure why it's bothering you. It didnt bother him.



Because children tell their parents everything?

Aww, still no kids huh? Maybe one day.

It is funny that you called out Marti for getting worked up on this issue - when it is you getting all butt hurt. :D

Like who?  :goodboy:

He should have also added in first names drawn from picking a random noun.

No, you missed the mark on that one.

Our moral superiority to non-breeders means we should not stoop to calling them out online 11B4V  :sleep:

Really? So pulled the passive aggressive attack of "still no kids" because you were so calm and collected? :D
