I don't know if there is such a thing as a truly unique name any more.   

I have a friend whose daughter is named Hyla, after a genus of tree frog, which I assumed was unique. But I found three other people in the first two pages of Google hits.

The thing about Moxie CrimeFighter Jillette is that, her dad being Penn Jillette, she will surely be raised to live up to the sheer weirdness of her name. It's not a fire-and-forget thing like a lot of genuinely terrible names.

Also, on the subject of naming people after genera of tree frogs: if I were into amphibians, I would consider naming a child "Rana Pipiens." Even if it's outdated now, it's a species name I've always found mellifluous.

I'm not against the name Moxie. It's unusual, but not weird. It's the CrimeFighter that makes it weird. Moxie by itself isn't on the same level as Dweezil.

True, Moxie is... eccentric... but it is definitely not full-cask-strength weird.

On the Susan-to-Moonunit Scale it is a seven or maybe even just a high six.

It's interesting that Beef thinks McDonald's will help Starbucks, as Slate just ran a piece explaining how the first Starbucks in a town actually helps existing coffee shops.

A damn fine blog post.  I know Starbucks drink orders are easy material, but Beef's description still made me chuckle, especially in the context of McDonald's counter-people trying to recite them.

"I don't have to think about things in advance to know what I think"


Roast Beef getting sassy is always fun. He has some confidence these days.


I also like that Ray specifically mentions that the Starbucks baristas have always showered recently, even before he has described the McDonalds cashiers.

In other news, I totally like Cappucinos. Why didn't anyone tell me that drink was good, I've been consistently getting Mochas and being disappointed.

Don't be a cock to a stranger, Ash.  Ain't nothing wrong with a cappucino.  Do you buy into ads that are basically, "Prove you're not gay!  Eat this huge burger!"

Capuccinos are a step manlier than what I would expect inev to drink.

I can imagine inev drinking cappuccinos. But I can also imagine A-Cap drinking Folgers from a two-gallon plastic tub he hell of keeps in a freezer in the garage. Myself, I used to drink Americanos but I'm slowly turning my caffeine addiction to tea. No idea why. Just sort of happened.

There are three types of coffee drink that aren't girly.

Coffee... unfrothed milk and/or white sugar at the most, nothing else.
Espresso shots.
Coffee with espresso in it along with unfrothed milk and/or white sugar at the most.

Everything else is fundamentally girly. Unless a trucker would drink it to stay awake after he finished off the crystal meth, it is girly.

This is not to say that I do not drink occasional girly drinks. There are times I throw some vanilla sugar in my coffee, there are times I splurge on a caramel macchiato.

But I admit and own the fact that I am drinking girly drinks when I do it.

If you're stuck with the truth, you gotta OWN that shit completely.

Dammit, people.  A cappuccino is totally manlier than the way most Americans take coffee -- waaaaaaay too much sugar and/or cream.  But I take offense to the idea that in order to be a Man you must drink the Approved Beverages.  For Pete's sake. 

Being a Man is about treating people with respect and protecting those who are weaker than you.  Not whether you like froth in you coffee or drinks that come with little umbrellas.
