A few good names we've run into around the office:
Ragnar Thornblad Digory Laycock We refer to Ragnar as "Ragnar of the North" "I am Ragnar, from the North! I've come to rape and pilage your source code. I laugh at your puny code style. Bring me your finest coder, we must duel!"

I went to high school with a Napoleon Bonaparte. He was a gay black man.
I also used to know a Tijuana Hooker.

My coworker's granddaughter is named Scarlett Ann Gray. Lives in Columbus, OH.
Wife's maiden name was Pacas. Pronounced "putz-us". I wonder why she was OK taking my common and boring last name? mike '78 SC |
