--- Quote from: DaiJB on 06 Jun 2022, 23:58 ---Why do people play games with their kids' names like this anyway? I knew a couple who named their kids Nadia and Aidan. If they'd had another girl, they were going to name her Diana... :facepalm:

I knew a couple who had named their son Rowan. Which I thought was a girl's name for some reason, but whatever.
Later, they were expecting another kid and tests showed it would also be a boy, and they were discussing possible names. I feigned surprise and said, "You mean, you're not going to name him--" and the father angrily finished the sentence for me, "NO WE ARE NOT GOING TO NAME OUR SONS ROWAN AND MARTIN!"
(If you don't get that joke, congratulations you're not an old fart.)

Girls are cool. Sometimes. Sam is cool. Skulls are cool. (Just ask Sam.)

Well I suppose a being of mist and shadows would require a bit more than a standard crib…

You do know that the characters named "Rowan and Martin" in Buck Godot were referencing a TV comedy duo from the early 70's, right?

--- Quote from: Gyrre on 07 Jun 2022, 02:32 ---To be fair to Emmett, the only healthy cold cereal I cared for as a kid was oats. Honey O's and frosted miniature wheats tended to have quite a fair bit of sugar on top of the otherwise relatively healthy cereal base.

It is a shame that Quaker Oat Squares (or its generic knock-offs) are not available unsweetened, or artificially sweetened.
Also a shame that cereals that are fundamentally based on sweetness, like Peanut Butter Crunch, are not made in an artificially sweetened version. We might have fewer diabetics if artificial sweeteners could become the default.
