FF: Toomer or Mason? -- nm - oblique Nov 13, 06:57 6
- Mason's a good name for a dog. -- nm - mara Nov 13, 07:01 3
  - Heh, it totally is. -- nm - kelly Nov 13, 07:12 2
    - I have a weakness for surnames for dogs. Mulligan, Murphy (although I spelled it weird), Mackenzie. Now I have first name dogs, tho -- Jake and Zoey. -- nm - mara Nov 13, 07:21 1
      - I love Murphy. A lot. -- nm - kelly Nov 13, 07:25

If anyone needs a smallish mp3 player, today's woot is a really great little player. -- (link) - TFox Nov 13, 06:54 6
- ooh. I looked at those before and ended up getting my kids the shakers for about that price. The clips seemed pretty nice too -- nm - oblique Nov 13, 07:04
- agreed.. the sansa players are great. -- nm - colin Nov 13, 06:58
- wow, nice price. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 06:54 3
  - Bought them for my mom and mother-in-law, and they are in love. So it is at least nice enough to trick 50 yr old ladies. -- nm - TFox Nov 13, 06:55 2
    - your mom and MIL are in love? must be awkward for your dad. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 06:57 1
      - My dad couldn't care in the slightest. He's already moved on, remarried, and redivorced. That ship has sailed. -- nm - TFox Nov 13, 06:58
I feel like crap. Not having sick days sucks. :( - JaxSean Nov 13, 06:45 5

Not that it's any great shakes or anything, but a friend from high school is half of the development team making this video game. -- (link) - nubby Nov 13, 06:26 4
- That earth graphic is very nice. -- nm - lileve Nov 13, 06:29 3
  - Holy photoshop genuis! -- (link) - lileve Nov 13, 06:30 2
    - My friend is the graphic designer. -- nm - nubby Nov 13, 06:32 1
      - More like an artist! That's art. It's amazing. Not so much a fan of the typography though. -- nm - lileve Nov 13, 06:35
I may not be the best judge of names, either. - kelly Nov 13, 06:25 57
- I like Murphy, too. -- nm - kelly Nov 13, 07:14 2
  - Desmond. - mafic Nov 13, 07:16 1
    - ha! -- nm - kelly Nov 13, 07:17
- higgs (after the boson) -- nm - mafic Nov 13, 07:10 2
  - This is Will's dog, not nubby's. You should be thinking of things like Pizza, Hot Dog, or Fluffy Pink Boa for Will's dog -- nm - oblique Nov 13, 07:12 1
    - or creepy little munchkin. -- (link) - mafic Nov 13, 07:13 [Image]
- if they're calling him pugsley, don't you want something close in sound so as not to scare or confuse him? this is what I was always told. bugsy? -- nm - pilgrims and indians love mandy lane Nov 13, 07:06 2
  - He's been there for 2 weeks, as a stray. He's pretty much only this new name for a few weeks. - kelly Nov 13, 07:12
  - mugsy! -- nm - oblique Nov 13, 07:08
- Edward, Yeller, Fisher -- nm - colin Nov 13, 07:06
- He's definitely not a Pugsley. -- nm - mara Nov 13, 07:01 1
  - I know! what were they thinking? I would so be the person in the shelter to give out the names - Pippy Nov 13, 07:11
- Nicky. -- nm - Diva Nov 13, 06:49 2
  - I have a brother named Nick... -- nm - kelly Nov 13, 06:50 1
    - this is the hazard of using people names for pets. Like, I dunno, LUCY. - loosilu Nov 13, 06:52
- Bubbles -- nm - jaxsean SI Nov 13, 06:47 1
  - No, it's a boy dog. - JaxSean Nov 13, 06:50
- you're pregnant? congrats! -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 06:44 9
  - B2. (nm) - Will Hunting Nov 13, 06:45 7
    - I know. I like George for him. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 06:48 6
      - I do too. I think he totally looks like a George! -- nm - kelly Nov 13, 06:49 5
        
        Sigh. George would be fine then. - Will Hunting Nov 13, 06:51 4
        
        call him JackDawson behind Kelly's back. - loosilu Nov 13, 06:52 2
        
        Jack Daniel -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 13, 06:53 1
        
        Alcoholics Eponymous? -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 06:53
        
        Hey! Don't *sigh* me! - kelly Nov 13, 06:52
  - WHAT?!?!?!?!? -- nm - Will H si #4533287 Nov 13, 06:45
- [deleted] 1
  - Beta is Greek for #2. -- nm - nubby Nov 13, 06:33
- George totally works -- nm - ty97 Nov 13, 06:31 1
  - or Dubya. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 06:44
- I like George. Or Harry. Or Owen. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 13, 06:29 19
  - I kind of like Owen. What will happen is you will get him home and in a few weeks, he will have cutesy nick names -- nm - Pippy Nov 13, 06:51
  - I kind of like Owen. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 13, 06:33 2
    - me too, but it should be Owynn, imho... -- nm - znufrii Nov 13, 06:47 1
      - heh. neechay. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 13, 06:51
  - I suggested Owen last night as well. - kelly Nov 13, 06:30 14
    - Yeah, you have to be careful not to burn your favorite baby names. :) nm - ralph wiggum Nov 13, 06:34 13
      - Oh, my favorite baby name is not even being brought into this conversation! - kelly Nov 13, 06:35 12
        
        While it's a nice name, I think Varitek might be awkward on a girl. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 06:49 11
        
        I suggested Jason Varitek last night as a doggie name. - kelly Nov 13, 06:50 8
        
        What about just 'Tek? -- nm - Diva Nov 13, 06:53 6
        
        The only problem with Tek is, the dog is going to get mad frustrated when Will keeps trying to help it onto the couch and up stairs. - TFox Nov 13, 06:54 5
        
        The other problem with Tek is that he'll come running every time Kelly calls out his name in bed. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 06:56 2
        
        hahaha! -- nm - kelly Nov 13, 07:10
        
        OK, this one was even funnier. -- nm - TFox Nov 13, 06:57
        
        "I don't understand, as soon as we named it Tek, it couldn't walk, it's back caved in and took 7 seconds to jog 90 feet." -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 13, 06:56
        
        You suck so much. -- nm - kelly Nov 13, 06:55
        
        I actually like it. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 06:51
        
        Plus, at age 35, she's in every manner, over the hill. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 13, 06:50 1
        
        How's her tail speed? Probably doesn't wag like she once did. -- nm - TFox Nov 13, 06:51
- I like Quark. - JaxSean Nov 13, 06:28 5
  - Warp Core Breach -- nm - amoxy Nov 13, 06:30
  - Warp Core was another suggestion I made. - Will Hunting Nov 13, 06:30 3
    - Yeah, but I get points for suggesting a Vegas slant to his name, right? - kelly Nov 13, 06:31 1
      - *nods* -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 13, 06:31
    - heh. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 13, 06:31
There, there, ML. It'll all be all right. (nm) - nubby Nov 13, 06:25 1
