QUOTE (Bob Shaw @ Jun 30 2006, 01:53 PM) 'Victoria' - now there's a good name for a female child... Bob Shaw Or, considering Emily's thesis... Venus might be appropriate. I know, I know. Doug said there's not to be a UMSF naming contest. Congratulations Emily. Enjoy every moment. David |

I dunno, "Elizabeth Cynthia" has rather a ring to it.

Speaking of naming things, I heard a guy yesterday who said he wanted to open a restaurant and call it "Thanks for Calling, How May I Help You." That way, anytime anyone called the restaurant, the poor person answering the phone would have to say "Hi, thanks for calling 'Thanks for Calling, How May I Help You,' how may I help you?"
Of course, if you were to play such a trick on your child, Emily, I wouldn't blame the kid for planning matricide...  -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain

Of course, the ultimate trick would be to drop in a Parsi family name, too.

QUOTE (Nix @ Jun 14 2006, 10:46 AM) ... I'm returning to this discussion somewhat lately, but I see it has livened up with much humor and good intentions for Emily. I also wish her the best, as parenting is one of the most rewarding and challenging of human occupations.Wishing you all the best, looking forward to EDL  I couldn't find a mention elsewhere (other than her blog) that Doug has taken on a week-long stint as a pinch hitter on Emily's TPS blog. I look forward to that. -------------------- ...Tom

I look forward to that. Yup - huge privelage, and even more so given the company I've just found I'll be keeping. Jim and I had a chat about it before the last PCU and we're both excited, but nervous. The plan is for me to blog from here - http://www.iac2006.com - I'm just waiting for press accreditation to come through! Looking at the list, I'm quite looking forward to reading what my fellow gloggers ( guest bloggers ) have to say, but like when you have a long holiday..you enjoyed being away..but it's nice to get home so I'll be looking forward to 'THE RETURN' at the end of October as well Doug |
