Pitty does things with her buns that could make most men weep WHAT Jane why would you say something like that?

Tyler — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 02:01:58 +0000

Sheesh guys, I connected these dots the first night I ever READ her comments >.<.
Except for it being named after her cat, of course. I assumed her name was Annie.

Yeah, I type to you guys all the time from school. F*cking Macs eat like half my posts though….
Anyway, Viking, I like to think that Charro is talking about different toys.. toys that can only be bought in stores that would prefer it if the name was changed to “teh interlubes”

By: viking gal

viking gal — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 01:52:12 +0000

Of course you can buy more toys with that job. Maybe check teh intertubes during lunch break?

charro — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 01:47:05 +0000

I enjoy new toys as well..

very good book – equilibrium was an interesting take on a similar principle.. some elements of brave new world and 1984 thrown in with a little extra violence for flavor.

LOL … They forgot to put a space in there! I hope that Tom Morrow knows about the new jobs that are waiting for him.

be fair, german is about as easy as spanish – they’re both very phonetic as far as actually spelling going. same goes for hawaiian, just gotta get used to 30 letter words… bleh

Sadly, there’s no musical named Eric.

Yeah, pittypat does things with puns that would make a linguist weep.

By: Jane St.Clair

Jane St.Clair — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 13:51:25 +0000

Yes, shortright. There is a real world, and it used to have money in it!

By: Jane St.Clair

Jane St.Clair — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 13:49:32 +0000

Ah, here I was only joking and we instead got a nice thread about unisex names. True, there were random unwarranted insults near the bottom, but it was a nice thread none the less.

Well, he is better looking than Mick Fleetwood. Honestly Stevie Nicks, what were you thinking?

i’m guessing it costs about as much as it costs to buy him a new paddle… he was pretty easily won over when it came to “toys”.

Of course, Bradbury! I wondered about the 451 myself but just didn’t connect the dots.

By: AC

Ah, I wondered, thanks. And 451… Great book.

I think it sounds very believable, unfortunately.

Believe it or not, I actually kinda think it wasn’t meant to be mean. Just fooling around. Do me next, Pitty!!

By: Anniee451

Anniee451 — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 22:58:43 +0000

It’s just a handle, AC. I’ve used it with two e’s since I got on the net 11 years ago. Some places already had an “Annie” so I added an e. It’s my cat’s name. The 451 is for Bradbury.

The bit about the professor matches what I’ve heard still exists in some science departments–not all, but there are a few here and there.
Then there is the scientist who is a female to male transsexual. His career has improved since he’s now a guy–and he has overheard people say “Oh, his work is much better than his sister’s!” Sigh. Not all humans are sexist, but some still are.

Now, come on Dhoti…..you know we have the best, most unbiased media organization in the world! Why, just look at the stories on the health care reorganization on Wednesday! They even have competing viewpoints and everything! Now that’s good journalism!

By: AC

AC — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 22:42:47 +0000

I think I’ve asked before but anyway: is your name pronounced differently? I’ve never seen it with two “e”s before…

By: Anniee451

Anniee451 — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 22:31:03 +0000

Yeah I realize that. Doesn’t make the bit about the professor any more likely. JMNSHO of course.

Anniee, NONE of the scientists I work with even CARE that their spelling and grammar totally blows… that’s what they keep me around for.

By: Anniee451

Anniee451 — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 22:15:26 +0000

That’s really believable. Especially since you can’t spell.

My name is a-sexual (which is what I consider any name where you can’t tell)….and I LOVE IT. The benefits are plenty- if someone cant’ tell if you are a girl they cannot descriminate against you for being one! So you are judges on your merits. I had a professor tell me once that he was surprised he gave me an “A” in a course several years earlier- since he had not give a female a grade above a “C’” in 35 years of teaching- but he did not realize I was a female….this was in the early 1990s…I went on to my PhD, and work as the second in charge of a biotech co (small one!) that is owned by another female with an androgenous name. When in doubt name your daughter a neutral name and spell it like a male! It won’t hurt her in the long run!

Audrey is normally female here…. If I remember correctly, however, it comes from a root meaning ‘man’. Well, that’s the case with some ‘feminine’ name.
