wickedfleaSend me good names to use for my emails to the department. I've recently started a tradition of closing all my emails to them with cool names. So far I've used "your loving schoolchild, Beauregard," Lester, and Winifred. I lean toward old names like Heathcliff and Warfield, but I'm not totally opposed to redneck names if they're really good like Marcel or Clovis.
Speaking of Marcel and Clovis, it occurs to me that some of you might not know who Jerry Clower is. I mentioned him to Peter the other day and he had no idea. Do you? *winces*

Why would someone starch their underwear? To hear the crackle when they sit?

Date: 2002-11-25 07:43 am (UTC)A friend of mine's grandmother's name is Zulene. And how about Lula Belle?
Yes, I'm from the south!
knock him out, John!
Date: 2002-11-25 09:25 am (UTC)Other good names in my family are Floris, Woreen, Thedrell, Wren, Vergie, Clemmie, Elgie, and Estelle. Estelle we always called Aunt Stale. Or I did, anyway--it just now occurred to me that everyone else might have been saying "Stelle," but with the Mississippi drawl it just came out sounding like Stale.
Thorval? Isn't that some kind of heart medication?

Date: 2002-11-25 10:12 am (UTC)OK, OK, check this out: My mother's middle name was supposed to be Carla (after my grandfather Daniel Carl), but they fucked up on the birth certificate and she ended up with Coral. (I think that's how it goes, anyway.) Which is actually kind of cool. And my DAD doesn't even have a middle name. My Danish grandfather had about six names, so I don't guess he had any left over to give Pop. It was quite embarassing for me as a child, having to endure all the taunts of "You so poor, yer daddy ain't got no middle name!"

. . . not that YOU'RE a redneck or anything. Just that you must, er, have some experience with them in order to, you know, appreciate Jerry Clower. Hehe, yeah . . . ahem.
Jerry Clower went to my alma mater. I saw him in concert back in the mid-70s. He was wearing a big red suit. And I used to see him at MSU baseball all the time!

Yes, I got called "Munnster" a lot growing up. My dad's middle name is Herman.
