Babies? Sure, I'll see Zayden, but that's cheating.

  1. Years and years ago,I once taught a student whose name was spelled one letter off from the STD Chlamydia. There was an extra "a" in the beginning and the "ch" was pronounced "sh". Of course, it was not pronounced that way. I always wondered if her mom had seen a poster with that word on it at the doctor's office and borrowed it from there.

  3. first of all, i like my name. i just don't like when people call me stupid nicknames.

    second, i think the kind of wacky woman in minnesota that john is thinking of is michelle bachmann. and if that in fact is the person you're thinking of, she's a member of the house of representatives, minnesota's sixth district.

    third, i think wipeout is a stupid show, although just about everyone i know thinks it's wonderful.

    fourth, i think the football player for denver that you're thinking of might be terrell davis, as he's the only denver running back i can think of off the top of my head.

    finally, qotw: steve jobs of apple got a liver transplant.

    p.s. i recruited you another listener. how awesome am i??

  4. Whoever came up with the name Kwestyun is pure genius. Or a dumbass. You decide. Wifey wouldn't even let me name my dog Kwestyun. Here's a true story. When we were coming up with names for Silas, Joyce's mom wanted to make sure we named him something from the bible. I looked at her and said "Satan is in the bible, should we name him Satan?" She didn't really like it. Unfortunately, I found out later that Silas IS in the bible. Bummer.

  5. John, "Dennis looks like a Dennis!" - What the poop?

    Your probably right!

  6. FYI - The hospital didn’t misspell Zayden’s name. We spelled it that way cause we like it like that.

  7. AHH!! Sorry Kate! I heard that story wrong! I will correct it thrice.

  8. Looking like a "Dennis" is just because you're name is Dennis. The beard, red hat, and mechanical skills lend themselves to a "dude's name" like Den. If you were always clean shaven, wearing a polo shirt, and maintained your high school jockishness, you would look like a dude who has a girl's name, like Jamie, Shannon, etc. or maybe an 80's movie cliche villain name like Brock, Bryce, or maybe Colt. Not that I've thought about all of our names much...

    It wasn't an insult. I always thought the GHS class of '98 was all the better for having a Norm, a Dennis, a Frank, and a Fred. Dudes names are cool.

    Dave, you don't even know your own sister's baby name story?!

    I wonder if naming a kid Satan is all that bad. It would take the "sting" out of it, maybe even helping us not fear the devil so much... Think about that for a few minutes...

  9. Well, I certainly don't fear Satan. I'm not sure he exists, but I'm pretty sure I haven't done anything too terrible to warrant damnation. However, I do think a fear of Satan is a good thing for the general population. Some people might need it to keep from doing bad things. If I knew for a fact that there was nothing after this life, I might be more inclined to do some bad stuff to make my life here more enjoyable. If there were no police, would you follow the same laws we have today? Probably not. I have seen empty cop cars on highways. People might even know they are empty, but it still keeps most motorists from speeding.
