If they don’t learn, they’ll wander away… eventually. 
Not Ogie Oglethorpe, I hope. You know, the “enforcer” from Slap Shot. If so, be careful; this guy is a real cementhead and a disgrace to the sport.
I’ve cared for infants whose parents named them: after body parts, naughty ones, even, their pets, the baby’s diagnosis. I’ve seen Miracles, and Precious Miracles. My fave, however was not a patient, but a visitor’s infant daughter. She had a lovely albiet unusual name: Myshyanne. I asked the mother if it was a family or ethnic name. She said it was a family name of sorts. The baby was named after mom’s reclusive sister…Anne. My… Shy…Anne :smack:
QtM I have a question for you, and a blatant high jack, I’ll admit.
If you had a patient who was convinced he/she had a particular illness, and you disagreed. Then,subsequiently found the patientto be correct, would you be offended if said patient brought you a picture of a zebra?
Wow, I usually preview better than that! :rolleyes:
Sorry to continue the hijack but I once worked somewhere where our regular UPS guy’s name was “Ben Gay”. I’m not sure how long the ointment has been around but I’d venture to guess that the ointment preceeded him by several years. I don’t know why he didn’t insist on being called Benjamin. Then again at least he didn’t just go by his first initial, “B. Gay”.
Sorry, picunurse. The patient who brought you a picture of the zebra is .
There’s a consumer advocate around here whose parents apparently named him Benjamin. Not too bad, but his last name is Dover. And yes, he goes by Ben Dover. Personally, I’d have gone by a middle name, or nickname, or changed my name. Cite: http://www.bendover.com/Default.asp . Yes, it’s worksafe, though anyone looking at the name would be rather leery.
I have a co-worker whose name is Skye Walker. “Cool,” I thought. Until I learned that he changed his name to Skye Walker.
:eek: You’ve been blessed by Og!
Perhaps he was arrested for bootlegging; tracking him by the smell, there were able to find…
Og’s Mash.
Nope. Maybe embarrassed, maybe humbled, depending on the situation.
Hm. When Og signs his name, he signs it “O. G.”
You know, Og is a traditional Celtic name. Mostly a surname, from what I can tell, but still.
I don’t think he’s celtic.
No, no. I took the zebra to my husband’s doc.
He told me I must have been hearing hoof beats, when I said hubby had pertussis. He said no, 45 minutes later the lab called him to confirm a positive pertussis culture.
I give it to him today, he took the ribbing quite well 
Next time tell your doc the diagnosis was carbuncular trollopsy, and give him a picture of a unicorn.
Like minds… I wanted to write… “True, a horse is not a zebra, but neither is a zebra a unicorn!”
Well “og” means “young”, but this guys seems not to be young.
Hmmmm, what a mysterious Mr. OG he is.
Is his mother or grandmother named Nanny Ogg? 
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Mike Hunt wound up in jail someday.
Update: A chance encounter with Og led me to asking him about his name. He insisted it was O. G. and that the initials didn’t stand for anything.
Oh, so the legend of Og has been exploded. Bummer.
Except that just the other day, I saw a book that had the author’s name listed as Og. I was surprised. Yeah, here’s one of them.
