Drummer looks like Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computer, in fact.

Speakin' sort of that, Oakland Museum had an animatronic exhibit about ten years ago that showed the various types of pre-Homo Sapiens in their presumed habitat. Funniest thing was a Neanderthal in a blue workshirt with steel lunchpail. He did not look that different than some swarthy types in our current gene pool.

I think we need another thread about our heroes:

I never have heard that, I have heard that called a sporran.

Q. What do you keep in a sporran?
A. Spores.
Ferrits

Hmm, I've always just kept my wallet and keys in mine, but I kinda like the ferret idea. D'ye think they'd mind the dancin'?

Recently I heard another newborn name horror story...sounds like a good web search topic. There's always Joseph Heller's Major Major Major Major.
Ahm proud to be a 'merkin!

A friend of mine worked in a hospital where a woman gave birth and gave her baby a name pronounced shi-THEED. I leave it as an exercise for the student to figure out how it was spelled.

Yeah, drive-thru bank teller was named LaTrina. I just....well....oh, never mind. But never was a capital T so important.

Right behind Labatt Brewing Company in Canada. Black and Tan is a nice dark Beer with a modest Flavor, not as Heavy as Guiness but still has the charatoristic day after colon clensing. Yuengling has Many Great tasting Beers, a Classic Premium beer, a Nice Amber Lager, Lord Chesterfield Ale (english style recipy), Porter, Half & Half (Black&Tan), and Even a light Lager ( I never tried the light version why ruin a good thing?) I do like my Guiness too. "what no, don't drink it from the bottle! Guiness draught is meant to be taken from a glass!"

http://www.yuengling.com/
Actually, it's made in Pottsville, not Pottstown. Different part of the state entirely. But you're right about Yuengling -- I don't generally even like beer, but their lager is good stuff.

For those confused by the name, it's pronounced YEENG-ling. It's of Pennsylvania German (commonly known as Penn Dutch) origin.

Steven

Pottstown, Pottsville still named after reefer. Well if it's pronounced how you say... It's should be pronounced Ying-Ling, not You-eng-ling, or Young-Ling, then how comes the website says this in the FAQ Section:

How is Yuengling pronounced?
Yuengling is German meaning 'Young Man'. It is pronounced "Ying-Ling'.

Hmm now if the owners of the Company say their last name is pronounced Ying-Ling I'll most likely believe them.

Justin Panovec (PAN-ah-vik) not (pen-OH-vik or pan-oh-VEK) it's bohemian, I believe it was once spelled Pannovich that would be russian for "son of Pann."

wherever there's a wakadoo ask him his name if it aint Panovec he's probably still related

Oy! I'll have you know that accent was built on years of study of Aymericun films, TV shows and all that.

Apologies to all, I don't find the word merkin in any of the online Aymericun to British dictionaries, so I'm in the dark. That said, having looked at them, they get some other words wrong anyway, so I'd beware using such words until soundly checked out by your friendly neighbourhood Brit. I did put a ' in front, indicating a missing letter. maybe I can run it past Dale if he gets in touch.
