Well I got nothing with SqrlCub so I split the words and got Surly Cub. I think that is pretty nice. There was a list that I am too lazy to look up the word Seri. Anyone have an idea? I also got Carl. HUGS! Carl. heheheh ---

Well, I just gotta be a part of this one! OK, actually, my Ms word is registered to “Mr Orgasmitron” as a hilarious joke by the friend from which I “legally” obtained it. When entered, word predictably offered (no suggestions) to replace Orgasmitron, though it did recognize the word enough to capatalize it for me. As for flup: flu flap flip flop flue Not so great. Ah well! Incest la vie! ---
