What's In a Name?
My sister Stacie and her boyfriend John are still wondering what a good name for their baby boy that's due in September is. Seeing as how John is a Monty Python fan (as am I), I suggested Ausfernschplendenschlittercrasscrenbonfrieddiggerdingledangledongledungleburstein-vonknackerthrasherapplebangerhorowitzticolensicgranderknottyspelltinklegrandlich-grumblemeyerspelterwasserkurtslichhimbleeisenbahnwagengutenabendbitteinnurnburger-bratwustlegerspurtenmitzweimachluberhundsfutgumberabershonendanker-

Either that, or Karl Gambolputty Miller. Don't know if John ever got my message, though. Just a bit of fun. Well, anyway, they want something unusual, seeing as how the baby has the last name of Miller. I want Arthur Twosheds Miller (another Monty Python joke). Either that or something that starts with an unusual letter. Like Zeus, or Xavier, Zachary, or maybe even Zyzz. I want to rename myself Zyzz Zyzzyx so I can be the last person in the phone book, but going through all the trouble of hiring a lawyer and then having said lawyer laugh at me is too stupid. Just so you know, I suggested Nolan at one point (think Bushnell), and she gave it some thought. Don't know if it's still "in the running" or not. Too bad it wasn't a girl, as I would have suggested the name Bertha.
