Send 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*

It's all in a name...

Embarrassingly enough, I do know who Jerry Clower is. The Ledbetter family jokes, coon huntin', and his AAOOOOWWW! (an attempt to imitate his holler)
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!

Zulene RULES! I have a great-aunt named Thorval, but for some inexplicable reason she's never gone by it. Most of her immediate family calls her Pat or Sister, but my little clan has always called her Snog. Yes, Snog.

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?

Where do people get these names, anyway?

They made 'em up, I hope. It really pisses Thorval off that her parents named her that. She named her kids really everyday names--Michael, Carolyn, and Brenda.

Hey, do you remember the kid named 5 from Peanuts?
