Taking My Name Back! Or not - Greg - 05-06-2019
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.

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?

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...
