In media res. Favorite playground game: Four square. Favorite Star Wars line: "What a lovely smell you've discovered." First album ever owned: "Bugs Bunny goes to London". First rock record that was mine rather than a family one was probably "Crisis, what crisis?" by Supertramp. Celebrities you look like: when I was younger, Daniel Vettori (yeah. I didn't think you did). Slowly developing towards Robert Lindsay. I can do a good Kevin Spacey impresonation with my hair slicked back so that it looks short. Favorite joke: A man walks into a chemists(drugstore) in Sweden and says 'goood mooorrning - I woood laik to buy a deeeoooodoorrraaant". The chemist says "cerrrtainleee sirrrr - baaalll or aerrrrosoool?" The man replies "Neeeeitherrr - I want it ferr me aaarmpits" How do you think you will die: I prefer not to think about that. Especially since I have a feeling I'll have to go to the doc's with a current unusual pain. Favorite literary device: see top of message Favorite element: Being a kiwi, I should go for Rutherfordium (being the only one named after an NZer), but I'll stick with cobalt, because of its art connection and because of the way it got its name. Favorite Ninja Turtle: Victor Meldrew Favorite thing your mom threw away without asking: Hm. I'm not sure she's ever thrown anything away. Conan O'Brien or Craig Kilborn? Anyone but Paul Holmes. The one musical act whose popularity you just don't "get": John Mayer? That's the first name of many that cropped up, although I'm still having difficulty with the Feg penchant for Beefheart. Do you like it when I do that? It tickled at first, but it was great once your hands warmed up ___ Last hat you wore: plastic toy viking helmet Ax(es): Red semi-acoustic Ovation 1612; Utilitarian-but-nothing-flash Session bass; crummy-but-useable Aria Pro II Strat copy; and old, horrible plywood guitar hand-painted lurid blue and white and sounding shit. Able to sleep on airplanes: Spend too much time enraptured by looking out the window. Haven't flown long-distance for decades. Habitual jewelry: I alternate between two pendants, one with a triple Pictish spiral, and one with a triple Celtic horse design based on Bain's interpretation of the Inverurie stone. Aren't you glad you asked? Oh, and a wrist watch. Favorite curry: Anything hot, although I prefer a good Nasi Goreng[1], Korma, or Satay Earliest childhood bedspread you can recall: Was big and red and had England footballers all over it: Geoff Hurst, Bobby Moore, Gordon Banks and someone else (Martin Chivers, perhaps?) Last living reptile encountered: Tuatara at Invercargill tuatara sanctuary. Siblings and your place among them: only child Sexual orientation and number of times you've strayed from it: Straight but curious. I've never met the right guy, though (although a full lip kiss would count, wouldn't it...?) In old cartoons and stuff whenever the parent is about to spank the kid he always says "This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you"... how does he figure? Well, if he'd recently broken his wrist... Grandparents' first names: James Patrick Dignan and Eleanor (Nelly) Gloster[2] (nee Mahon) on dad's side. Kathleen Gladys Shewring and unknown on my mum's (birth) side, or Fred Ernest Woodward and Nan (nee unknown) (adoptive) Thumb: green/black/other? Currently purple, but the paint will come off with a bit of rubbing. Good friend you wish you'd done it with at least once but never did, and where are they now? Hm. Several. 1) One of the staff at the University here, recently married and soon to move to Christchurch (At least I introduced her to Robyn Hitchcock's music!). 2) Sara, a girl I had the hots for all through highschool but was too shy. I later discovered the feeling was mutual. She's a teacher somewhere in this fair city. 3) The younger sister of the other guitarist of the band I was in. She currently has six (count 'em!) kids (See Glen's rule). 4) A former varsity friend, now working as a lawyer at the other end of the island. And happily married she is, too. Snack food you're pissed off they don't make any more: Hm... Seafood and lemon flavourite potato chips. Also pissed off that you can't get Walnut whips or Reece's peanut butter cups in NZ. Oh, and today's flag was? Haiti James [1] A local newspaper once finished a recipe for Nasi goreng with the words "(not to be confused with the famous Nazi, Goering)"! [2] did I hear an ominous "dum da dum dum!" sound then? No relation, as far as I know.

Johnny Cash and John Ritter both died on September 11? Here's my suggestion: much as buildings don't have 13th floors, September 11 should be struck from the calendar. Go straight from the 10th to the 12th. Add a 31st. I've really enjoyed John Ritter's recurring role on Scrubs for the last two years. And I know a few people who knew him and say he was a really nice guy. As for Mr. J. R. Cash... well, if he's in heaven, God can retire. Just yesterday I heard Cash's new version of "Wichita Lineman", an outtake that's on a Lost Highway compilation. It was mighty. I'm gonna buy me some peoples' last records today. So many famous deaths this year. Around here we're more interested on wagering on the order of the last ten "in memoriam" clips at the Oscars than the Oscars themselves this year.

So, like, do Nathan's sister and wife have more or less the same names? That's gotta be weird. A friend of mine married a guy with the same first name as her dad, but that wasn't quite as weird (although her dad then married someone younger than her, which adds some bonus weirdness). My brother and I both married women of Jewish descent with the initials M. M. Neither woman has a middle name. The M-names really piled up on us-- Number One Daughter also has a name beginning with M, and then of course my Mom is Mom and my wife is now also Mommy, and both my parents have living mothers as well, and, well, we've all had to accept the fact that when we get together at Christmas we're gonna call all the women by the wrong names and we shouldn't read too much Freudian BS into it. - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2003 10:56:09 -0700 From: "Glen Uber" Subject: Re: More fun with names Rex.Broome earnestly scribbled: >So, like, do Nathan's sister and wife have more or less the same names? >That's gotta be weird. Well, I think I mentioned to you at Pasadena Brewing Co. how we specify which one we're talking about. Megan the wife's original last name was Clement and Nathan's sister's last name is Williams, which of course is Megan the wife's current last name. To mix it up a bit more, Megan the sister's middle name starts with C. So, to simplify things, we took each woman's original last name initial and gave them them the nicknames Meg Can and Meg Will. If you know them, you would know that the nicknames are apt because Meg *can* do anything and Meg *will* do anything. ;) By the way, Nathan calls the wife Megg and the sister, Megan. And the respective Megans pronounce them slightly differently: Can pronounces hers "MAY-gun" and Will pronounces hers "MEHH-gun". Might be a dialectal difference, though. I won't hold it against you for not remembering that conversation. I'm sure what I was saying was not the primary thing on your mind, what with spilled beer, top-heavy hostesses and "waitresses gone wild" in wet t- shirts vying for your attention. - -- Cheers! - -g- "In nature, there are neither rewards nor punishments -- there are Consequences." - --R.G.

Good news to me, since Mark Eitzel's solo career had pretty much lost my interest in much the same way as Frank Black's. Or is he Black Francis again? That was just a much cooler name. On the other side of the coin, it strikes me that the Highwaymen have joined the Beatles and the Who in the only-half-alive column. - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2003 11:10:00 -0700 From: Eb Subject: Re: What's in a name? >Chris: >>>Other non-mythical humans in current or past team names: [--] What others >are there? > >I like the ones which don't make any sense because of relocation.

And t >>he respective Megans pronounce them slightly differently: Can pronounces >>hers "MAY-gun" and Will pronounces hers "MEHH-gun". Might be a dialectal >>difference, though. Probably derives from however the parents said it. It's a name with many permutations. My Megan is definitely a "Mehh-gun" but would answer to "May-gun", but there are also people who tend to say "Mee-gun" despite the fact that they've never heard anyone use that pronunciation. Her brothers, though, occasionally say "Meegs", and her best friend occasionally calls her "Meg", but nobody, nobody else does. She really hates it, but somehow she doesn't even notice it when said friend does it. Some people also assume that it's spelled more esoterically than it is: Meighain, Meagan or worse. Perhaps it's a window into whether people perceive her as Jewish (she's half) or Irish (1/4 with the balance Norwegian). Although some people get me down as Jewish, too, and come up with interesting spellings of "Broome" (or Bloom) to go with that assumption.

When I told this "joke" to someone else, it was pointed out that really, there is a Joy Division reunion since the New Order reunion has been supposedly fairly liberal in playihng JD songs, so really Bernard Sumner is the lead singer of the JD reunion. Anyone want to set an over/under on when The Smiths reunion is announced? Or on whether Mike Joyce will be invivted to participate?

When they were the Phoenix Cardinals i remember reading an apparently serious letter to either Sports Illustrated or The Sporting News insisting they need to change their name because both Phoenix and Cardinal were birds and as such, the team would be cursed. Of course, the team is cursed, but that's only because they are owned by Bill Bidwell (NB for non-NFL fans: The Bidwell family has owned the team since the 1930's, through 3 cities -- Chicago and St. Louis previously -- and they've only won _two_ playoff games since World War II, one in 1947 and one in either 97 or 98; they are probably historically the worst sports franchise on Earth). All team names with States instead of cities clank. Golden State Warriors and New England Patriots are even worse though since one is the state nickname and the other is a region. ===== "Pentagon officials says Americanizing Iraq is difficult because Iraqis have had little to no reliable information for the past 35 years, and have lived on a diet of innuendo, rumor, conspiracy theories, fear, and propaganda.
