I am very proud to announce a new member of the team to the Mana Drain community:
Kaylor and I are expecting a son, Jackson Walker Stoots, around Labor Day weekend (September 6th due date).
Gaming is bound to run in his genes since her brother was a small time Magic dealer back during Tempest/Uzra Block.
Zher--clearly the little tykes are going be fighting it out on the JSS circuit for years to come!

No room in the house exceeds a length of twenty-five feet, let alone fifty feet, let alone fifty-six and a half feet, and yet Chad and Daisy's voices are echoing, each call responding with an entirely separate answer. In the living room, Navidson discovers the echoes emanating from a dark, doorless hallway which has appeared out of nowhere in the west wall.

As Outlaw has suggested, it is indeed the start of a new generation in this ageless rivalry between Meandeck and Shortbus, and forever shall it dominate their destinys. Teach him well, my friond, for the day will come when he too will throw down the gauntlet and sling the magical cards.

OMFG once again Meandeck can't do anything without some random team trying to steal our thunder. You know, I had the idea to have a kid way back when I first had the male/female combo explained to me, but I've been waiting for the environment to become more conducive to it. But you'll probably claim you were the first one with the idea anyway. Even though Zherbus actually announced his offspring first. Sigh.
Congratulations, Shane! I've always been a fan of "Jackson" as a first name, too. And for chrissakes, warn him early to ignore his Uncle Marc's ramblings about the "Little Blue Fuckers". He'll be running around scared, hands over his ass and a constant, fearful backward glance for years otherwise.

Kaylor wanted Jack but I'm not a huge fan of that as a stand alone first name so I pitched her on the idea of Jackson. Once that was solidified I thought of going 'old south' with the name and she agreed (shockingly!). My preferences in names have always had a strong basis in the 'old south' or in greek mythology. Not suprisingly I have yet to find a girl who is down w/ naming any child after obscure mythological heroes, gods, or titans.

The name is in no way associated w/ Michael Jackson, I'm thinking more Stonewall Jackson.
I think I have figured out the golden rule for a guy in naming daughters though: anything that sounds like a name you have heard in pr0n or when a girl is going on stage at a strip club is automatically out.

I think I have figured out the golden rule for a guy in naming daughters though: anything that sounds like a name you have heard in pr0n or when a girl is going on stage at a strip club is automatically out. To rephrase and modify slightly: When deciding on a name for a daughter, begin by thinking of a femalel's name. You can start from a list if you'd like. Imagine what a girl so-named would look like. Would you hit it? How about after a few shots? How about after a few more shots? How about after you come to your senses and stumble out of the bar, picking the peanut shells out of your hair? If your answer to any of the above questions is "yes", start over. I believe this is an improvement on your method, Shane, because it automatically covers the "no naming your daughter after an old girlfriend, even if your wife doesn't know that you dated someone by that name" rule. Because as much as we'd all like to believe otherwise, after drinking enough scotch, every girl you've ever dated seems eminently hittable. Case in point: drunk dialing. |

Drunk dialing is an interesting phenomenon. When you are single, and you receive a drunken call from ex-gfriend, it can leads to TONS of fun....but if you aren't single, its a TON of trouble

Congratulations on the baby! My girlfriend would like one, especially since her best friend just recently got pregnant...
What's drunk dialing exactly? A friend of mine here has a phone russian roulette game that he's mentioned to me that you play at 4am when very drunk with group of friends which involves randomly calling a stored number on someone else's cell phone. Is it something like that or more just the phenomenon of needing to call someone when you've had enough booze?

The latter, more or less. It's the phenomenon where you think you're over your ex girlfriend, but in a drunken stupor, reasise how much you miss her and/or how perfect you were together and call her up, preferably in the middle of the night, uttering incoherent sentences. Think 'Rachel calls Ross when she's out on a date with Michael while Ross is out buying a cat with Julie' in series 2 (episode 7, if I'm not mistaken).
The girl in question is almost invariably repulsed by this action, so that in the end, you'll achieve exacly the opposite of what you thought you wanted to achieve when you phoned her up in the first place.
I think it's a evolutionary species survival mechanism. Your subconscious actively prevents you from getting back together woth former partners this way. You think you're getting back in there, but in fact she'll likely never want to see you again. This ensures the continued spreading of your genetic material.
