Chu vi volas esperanti kun mi? 
My wife has announced that if we have a girl, she's got her heart set on the name "Bridy". However, whenever I hear that name, all I can think of is meat pastry.

The real question here is whether this is a fight that is worth the cost of winning.

Bridy is not too bad a name, for my tastes. I don't think I've grown up knowing this meat pastry, so I reckon it would be okay.
I think that saving my hypothetical future daughter the embarrasment of being named after a pastry is worth it... though for the time being, it's not really a pressing matter, so I think I'll just keep my mouth shut and hope that over time, she decides on her own that she likes another name better.
But it's a slippery slope: first we're naming a daughter Bridy... next thing you know, we'll have a son named Tourtiere.

Did I miss an important announcement??
No, nothing like that. Just planning ahead.

Ah.
I saw you mention Strongbad in another thread and I nearly choked. I wonder if we're related. Which would be insulting for you, awesome for me.
I suppose it's possible. Parts of my family tree came up here from the US - mostly Quakers from Pennsylvania and Vermont.Ah.

Congratulations!
I once got carpet burn on my arms, but it was from... something else.

Army crawling?
Sure - that works as a euphemism.

You were innuendoing?! Why, Penguin!
My arms are gonna hurt tomorrow.
I can barely read my computer screen.
I went to the optometrist today. He put drops in my eyes to dilate my pupils. He told me so that he could "measure the health of my eyes".
I'm starting to wonder how much of my optometrist visits are actually medically necessary, and how much are the result of bets between one optometrist and the others in the office about how much they can get patients to do before they question it.

Handy tips to other drivers from a novice stick-shift driver with an old manual transmssion truck:
- please don't stop right behind me on an uphill. I've been good about not rolling back into anyone yet, but you don't want to be the first person I bump. Not if you want your front bumper to stay pretty and shiny, anyhow.
- it's a truck. The flywheel probably weighs as much as a small child. I can't do lightning-fast racecar-style shifts, because the revs just don't drop that fast when I let off the gas. The truck's going to check up a bit when I change gears, and if we're just starting from a stop at a light, I'm going to be changing gears a fair bit in the next little while, so please give me some room behind. If I'm going too slow for you, the left lane is available for you to pass.
Short version: please give other drivers space.
Thank you for your cooperation!

How many clutches have you burned out? I taught my husband how to drive a stick and in the month it took him to learn, he burned out two.
