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*

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!"
