St. Zartan, if you're lurking out there, show yourself.
We've been over this already.
-
This comes as a double nonsequitor to me...What does a 19th Century union founder and labor activist have to do with Zart?
At first I thought maybe you meant Eustace K Dobs, but no one who was on jeopardy would make that mistake...right? So what gives?
-
Personally I would've gone with Ric "Whooooo!" Flair.
-
I thought it was the kind of non-seqitur that Zart would like. It's like a lure... He comes sniffing around and wonders why the hell there's a thread on Eugene V. Debs, opens it up and WHAMMO! We've got him.

i have a cat named Eugene V. Debs

Wow - this doesn't happen very often. I didn't even realize it was possible.

It's not anymore and only was possible for about a week. It was a minor error that's been fixed.
Screw you guests! Register like the rest of us!

Thanks, CJ. I was starting to be a little doubtful about how on top of things I am.

Dang, where do you live? Around here you can name your cat whatever you want.

I don't think anyone is angry
WRONG! I'm as mad as hell...
and I'm not going to take it anymore.
Your ridiculing of my place of residence is starting to make me angry.
At least I don't live in Sweden. (http://www.ogren.org/SwedishSurnames.htm)

Sorry, Dude.
That Swedish article is great. It's like the Mark/Dave/Steve syndrome to another order of magnitude. What does a Swedish elementary school teacher do when she has four Sven Nilssons in the class? The old "Jennifer S. and Jennifer W." trick doesn't work. Plus, the Swedes have a reputation for being somewhat physically homogenous (i.e. tall and blond), so you couldn't say blond Sven and tall Sven. Do they give them numbers? Brand them? Far out.

I was just kidding, AW. When I went looking for that, I was vaguely remembering somewhere that made prospective parents pick their child's first name from a list. You could not name your child whatever you wanted. I could have sworn it was in Europe somewhere, but that was the best I could do.
And as far as the other deal, it just struck me after that post that I didn't remember seeing any anony-posters here before.

Actually, if anyone wants ti read a really awesome book that deals with the labor movement (although in the early 20th century), check out "The 42 Parallel," by John Dos Passos. It's the first of his USA trilogy.
THAT BOOK!

I so enjoy reading posts like this and visualizing them as words coming out of your avatar's mouth, that dog all with Bozack's lady, and Jough as a little kid, sitting in an Algonquin round table setting.

The Dog needs a cigar. I think y'all have lifted this discourse about as high as it can go. Good work.
