Taking My Name Back! Or not
#1
So, I'm going to hang a new door off the back of the house to replace the one with the dog door in it and has a rotten bottom. No problem. I've hung a lot of doors in my day. As a matter of fact, I hung that one as well.

It occurs to me that there is another word for hang that also happens to be my last name. I was thinking that I should just start saying I'm a door lyncher. And then I thought that might no go over too well. Since although it was originally a white mayor who hung his white son out of a Galway window, people don't tend to view the word with quite the same nostalgia.

But I could be wrong. But I'm not wrong. It was for that reason that I didn't let people refer to my work crews as Lynch Mobs.
As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm

I'm currently reading a collection of short stories by Faulkner.  Almost every story ends up using lynch in a manner you're hoping not to imply.


Then again, who reads Faulkner these days?
I'm nobody's pony.

The motto of Salle Namennehman (the rogue National Champ fencing competitors that was 50% DOOM) was 'Kick Ass and Take Names'.  Namenenenammannn means 'name takers'.  PPFY will correct my spelling there, assuming his knickers aren't too tight this Monday morn...

The knicker, they bite!
In the Tudor Period, Fencing Masters were classified in the Vagrancy Laws along with Actors, Gypsys, Vagabonds, Sturdy Rogues, and the owners of performing bears.
