Slink and his car win.


I met a woman tonight who has the same name as I.  Ladies and Gentlemen meet Paul and Paula McRae


She's a cool indy filmmaker who's first production, Baby will be released in June.

You two should get married.  You'd save on monograms and stationery.

I thought I also must make mention of this...
I just bought my car of someone who was called Farquharson.
Farquharson Inkster.
For as long as my car is around I get to remember it from the forms.

DUDE.

Yes, Slink and his car WIN FOREVER.

Just got back from my brother's where I got to at least reveal it to him and his girlfriend. They were surprisingly not so weirded out. My brother can be quite terse and impatient (he is great, don't get me wrong, hence I visit him fairly regularly to hang out and swap music and shit) and they were pretty cool about it.
I guess part of it was that they totally understood my reasons for doing so. I mean my brother got a similarly odd name out of the whole birth thing. Although he, in my opinion, got the better abbreviated everyday name, having being given a Polish name. He did get the worse tacked on first name to please the grandparents though.

I keep getting letters and yelling That's not my name!!.

I don't know what the chances of my brother remembering to call me Slink are though.

Slink, I guess I should take this time to tell you that I don't pronounce your name (in my head) as "Slink" as much as I always say it "S Link."

You see, I'm an audio geek and used to have component equipment in the 80s that you could control with a single remote by connecting the Sony "s-link" (Sony Link) cable between devices.

So whenever I see "slink" I always think of the sony s-link cable.

In other words, you're the cord that connects everything together.

I'm not sure if that's a compliment or not.

If it didn't seemingly stop me holding myself together...
Well, if I have to be named after any piece of audio equipment Sony is one of the perferable ones. I mean, something from Marshall or Gibson would be cool, but Sony will do.

For one, now I feel okay with getting William Gibson to sign your copy of "Pattern Recognition" to "Slink"...because it's your real name now!


Oh, and yea. This is the only reason I changed it really. Just 'cause I was ashamed to have someone elses copy of it!

Nah, it's why I was really quite happy that you got it signed to Slink. Perfect!

Thanks again though, people keep threatening me with death for it.

Now I'm dying to know your brother's name. Stanislaus? That can be abbreviated easily enough....

Not quite such a normal name when abbreviated however.
No, his name is Kasimir, so he's always just called Kas. Of course, friends have always thought it to be Kaz, Cas or Caz. Usually anything but how it is, but then isn't that always the way!

Dude, do you ever leave your house or have anything happen that you don't have a camera around?
