I guess if you say your parents were Very Good Folks then that's good enough for me, but I'm still sort of uncomfortable with the idea of two of my all-time favorite literary figures being intimately associated with Japanese automobiles. Not that I've treated them (both the literary figures and the automobiles, natch) with all that much respect either, I suppose... Though that probably depends on your perspective. This also reminds me of the time I was on the DC metro, heading for work downtown, when a woman got up behind me and yelled at her daughter (who was running away): "Dammit, Toyota, come back here!"

Hostile sounds neither, but if I had to choose, I'd say male. And Trauma only sounds female to me because it ends with an "a", and I took some Latin in high school.

Among the literate who read English regional usages go international. Maybe its a legacy from being raised by Brit nannies, but Ive always tended to read English authors more than American ones and find the language somehow all the more congeneal for its slight exoticism. Anyway--what I wonder is whether English will, like Latin, differentiate further till it splits into various national languages or if it will homonogize further (thanks to telecommunications and this here Internet)so as to smoothe out present national variations into one standard international English. - ---- Thanks Eb for the Leigh recs. - ---- James: >a rule of thumb is four syllables in all - a one syllable surname >gets a >three syllable surname.

My parents delibritely choose a short but distictive first name to go with my 3 syllable last name. Maybe thats why I married Mike, to keep the 4 syllable thing going. Thanks James, for explaining so simply one of the mysteries of life;-) - ---- Quail's response to my radio show thing is funny--I bet most shows done by paramours would have a similar pattern.

Me: Oh, and I do think , oh maybe ROBYN HITCHCOCK had -something- to do with this track as well. Mine: Sure, sure, the wordy guy who plays guitar. You know, I would love to get drunk with Morris sometime. You can just tell he's a great guy. Me: Michael, hes the --DRUMMER--. Mine: So, hes a guy--and obviously a great guy. Now after Morris we'll do some Soft Boys, an earlier and now present band of the great Morris Windsor followed by some Allman Brothers, some Sea Train maybe some Chicago and I think Ive got to let her play some wimpy accoustic stuff by that wordy guy who plays guitar and then some more--MORRIS WINDSOR! (Sound of skillet crashing down on head.) Me: There has been a change of program. We will do Robyn Hitchcock's "I Often Dream of Trains " from beginning to end, followed by some Elliot Smith, Mutton Birds, very early Cat Stevens and then Judee Sills at which point my co-host should be awakening from his little nap so Ill slip on some David Bromberg, whom we both agree on.

My friends Bryan and Ceredwyn, seeking to reflect their child's Welsh/Russian heritage, were going to name their child Owain Vladimir Alexander. Then they realized that his initials would be OVA. Finding this weird, they changed the middle name to Nikolai. (My friends have reflected that their children's blend of ethnicities almost guarantees that they will be alcoholics.) I'd like to put a permanent moratorium on any name that is a variation of "Caitlin." Kaitlyn, Kayla, Kaylin, etc. etc. etc. When I worked in a child psychiatry clinic, I can't even tell you how many patients had names like this. Possibly that's why they were at the clinic - identity crises. n. p.s. My kitten is now queen bad-ass and spends day and night running around and eating Kleenex. The vet says she will be a big cat.

First, congratz to those who are increasing their numbers in pursuit of world domination by genetic excellence. I'm sure Nat has dibs on the placenta(e)s. I'm okay with Wolfgang, but only if it is a girl. Some unisex names: Aiewae Bonk Cracker Digby Dink Erroneous Fart Ftoonk Glib Hagfish Icky Jub-Jub Kak Leper Moldy Naan Ogilvy Paff Quarantinae Rumplestiltzkin Schmutz(er) Sharq Tarkus Undie Vortex Wolfman(woman) Xerxia(us) Yoyo Zeppelin - ------- Hmmmm. I think I have an announcement on as similar vein as is possible for me. I'm sure y'all know that I went to the vet several years ago and done got m'self fixed. I'm sure that yer all relieved to know that I do not have any human children (or sharkboy-human hybrid children either.) Last week Donne and I decided that we would like to attempt to increase the already improbable amount of joy in our house. The _plan_ was to get two kittens and raise 'em up with love and care and music in their hearts. Lots of you know that it is our eventual dream to have lots of land and to make a cat sanctuary where we can rescue cats and assure them of a happy long life. Because we didn't get a big bunch of land around our house we have put these dreams on ice for a while. Okay, so we went to the Animal Control place. Somehow, that number 2 became a 7. Two sets of 3 kittens and 1 mama kitty. They are all splendiferously wonderful. We hope to find homes for some of them, but the main thing is they have all been spared and can lead fun lives and get great care here at the minimum. There are two chocolate point siamese kitties and their sister is a tabby. Their momma is an exotic, angular all black siamese/burmese kinda cat. The other set is a boy and girl black and white bro and sister plus a younger black boy. Most of them have grown names: Bartholomew (black boy 7 week-old) Rory (b&w boy 10 w/o) Rodan (siamese boy 5 w/o) Godzilla (siamese girl 5 w/o) Miko (tabby 5 w/o) Naming the mama kitty and the shy black and white girl kitty is all that remains in the naming department. They have created some new projects for me to do as well. Best wishes to y'all, katman sharqboy ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V10 #282 ********************************
