Celeb height - first hand estimates
 

I thought it was funny. Children are short.....

An update - I'm sure you are all riveted. My name was on the top 1000 for the year I was born, but just barely (in the 900-1000 range). It is several hundred places higher on the list today. Yes, I'm that much of a trendsetter. Carry on.

I ran into Danny DeVito at his daughter's college graduation a couple of weeks ago (my cousin was graduating from the same school). He appeared shorter than his reputed 5 feet.

It certainly seems true, and I'm not sure why, either. Maybe there's an assumption that girls don't need to be taken as seriously, so you can have more fun with them. That response sets my bullshit detector off, but I can't think of anything better.

The only guys I've dated with unusual names had surnames as first names. One of those names is now wildly popular, but it wasn't about 20 years ago.

I'm still not naming my next daughter "Receptacle".

I understand from a guy who used to work with him (when he was a hairdresser before he took up acting) that he is 4'10" in his shoes.

Only if I'm from the five towns area.

Ha! and 2 (for my own name, that is -- I didn't have a view on your name in the 70's - and for the record, my view on your name is "three thumbs up!"). Actually, I like your name way better than mine. In fact, if I were a celebrity, I think I'd change my name to yours. Not only that, I think I'm going to start insisting people call me by your first name. Only the first name. I'm going with no last name, difficulty-to-accomplish be damned!!!

All my elementary school teachers totally butchered my name, despite my correcting them countless times. I've since stopped bothering to correct people (sometime during college, I think), and now when people discover they have been mispronouncing my name, they get all uppity and shit.

2 again! If I had girls, there are loads of names that I think would be nice, but with boys, options are limited. We could have gone with Solomon (a name I rather like), but it happens to be the surname of an ex-boyfriend that mr.dtb is rather (and without cause) sensitive about, so that was out. Our boys have very common names. The thing is, everyone tries to be so unusual, that the "basics" are the new unusual! I realize now that I'm so ahead of the curve, it's frightening. {{shudder}} (I just scared myself.)

Dorothy and Edward
Gloria and Gumecindo

Of my grandparents names, I'd most likely to choose Gloria for my little kid were I inclined to try to keep up tradition.

Racy FB Sex Dream
 

That sounds like a fun dream.

As I sit here today*, I can't recall ever having a dream about the FB or FB people. Am I the only one?

*I am still waiting for paigow to finish her search of my posts over at infirm to confirm.

Yes. Though I also really did think he was taller than that.

Someone told me Jude Law looks like a very handsome man who was put in a clothes dryer on "hot" and then taken out an hour later, shrinky-dinked.

I think its cool that you're cool with bisexuality. Cool.

Before the Brazenette's gender was determined, we decided that we would name the little fetus after my grandfather if it turned out to have two x's rather than an x and a y. My grandfather's name was Abraham and we settled on Braham as a reasonably modern take on the name. My mother was apalled.
