Earlier I had a post written out but I had to leave for a few hours. Now that I am back and have read the newest from Isabelle, I deleted everything and would just like to say -
Isabelle, you’re just a fucking idiot.
also -
Woody Allen may be more guilty of scumminess, but she certainly deserves to take some credit. She would have to be comatose to not understand what she was doing and how it would affect her mother.
I agree
And as far as the idiot comment. To each his own.
I think that we have a new candidate for the Jean Teasdale of the SDMB.
We each get our own idiot?
Um, can we form a group, trade in our idiots, and maybe get a loaf of bread?

Seamus is a Biblical name too - just in a different language.
jsgoddess, Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out the mouth of your assigned idiot.
Can I have a pet rock instead? It’s gotta be smarter than you.
I think it’s mean to change a kid’s name from Satchel to Seamus. Satchel is just an unusual name. Seamus has the double problem of being pronounced like “shame” and looking like the word “seamen.” I wouldn’t choose it because of those associations for me.
Somehow it’s different if the kid is old enough to question, “why are you changing my name to one with that’s weird?” than if the child in question is an infant.
-gobear you’re my hero!
I’ve been thinking this for a while, but I couldn’t put it into words.
What’s wrog with “seamen” ? Those brave boys of the Navy are out there every day protecting your freedom, you ungrateful swine!
Now, if you meant “semen”, that’s altogether different.
And I’m pretty sure that the Mother of God was never called “Mary” in her lifetime. So Seamus is certainly as biblical a name as Mary.
No man is an island, entire of itself… but my idiot’s head is pretty darn close.

To be fair… the name Jason is found in the bible, in Acts XVII; it’s the name of a Thessalonian Greek who hosts Paul and some other apostles.

It’s found in the Bible, is it?
I ain’t sayin’ nuthin.
I just caught this, way back on page two:
You know, that’s one of my favourite euphemisms.
Other than the fact that Jason’s not an angel at all, I guess you’re okay on the name front…
I bet Bill Gates has a few lined up too. I think it has something to do with him being rich and powerful. Without the fame and influence, Allen, I think, would be regarding as something of a toad.
But that’s a personal opinion
