One of my colleagues just had a baby and named him Avery. I love that name. Who wouldn't want to be named after a label brand name.

I saw this alcahol-free drink for sale with the sparkling juices called 'St. Regis'. I thought that was funny.

Exactly.

There was also a Dodge by that name.

Last night I was wondering why a particular knot was called a "sheepshank"...

So I theorized that it was invented by Katrina Shanks. $\:D/$

Haha, Siv.
a lot of things remind me of Odyssey. the library, for one. $\:D/$

"I'm going down to the library! Not the libarry, but the library!"
(where the books are at!)

I just read some works of Samuel Johnson in literature class!

Today in my english class, we read a short story and one of the characters was named Eugene. He was tall with blonde hair, wore glasses, liked reading books and was in all honors classes!

A few days ago in school my math teacher told us to turn to chapter 14, and when I asked what page it was he said "three-eighteen"
and then under my breath I added "ninety" completing 3-18-99.

Of course I was offended that he felt he needed to keep the real page number a secret.

In some salepaper advertisement (gearing up for Easter I think), I saw the words "Giant lollipops" in pastel colors on big egg-shaped lollipops. I read the phrase "giant lollipops" in the pseudo-British accent in which Walter Shakespeare said, "With a bit of paint, we could cover up the giant lollipops!"

We're getting ready to read Othello for one of my classes. Every time my teacher mentions it, though, I hear Erica Clark mispronouncing it in my head.

Also, for the same class I read a script for part of a Seinfeld episode (the one where Jerry is trying to come up with an idea for a TV show... nice little self-parody there), and the following exchange reminded me so much of AIO that I pretty much wrote my entire annotation on Odyssey... and not so much on the script itself.

George: You run an antique store… and people come in the store and you get involved in their lives.
Jerry: So someone comes in to buy an old lamp and all of a sudden I’m getting them out of a jam? I could see if I was a pharmacist because a pharmacist knows what’s wrong with everybody that comes in.
George: I know, but antiques are very popular right now.
Jerry: No they’re not, they used to be.

I was working drive thru the other day and this guy came through and he honestly sounded just like Bart Rathbone, same mannerism and language I should have got his number for Focus on the Family

It's Walker Edmonston back from the dead!

Possible competition for Robert Easton!?

Anyways, I was reminded of AIO when I read a short story that mentioned a woman named Monica Sone.

I always think of Howard J. Wiesel when I sing "Rescue the Perishing" by Fanny Crosby at church. The fourth verse says

Rescue the perishing, duty demands it;
Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide;
Back to the narrow way patiently win them;
Tell the poor wand’rer a Savior has died.

All I can think of is "Duty demands it! Honor demands it! Justice demands it!"

1. I visited a place called Odenton yesterday.
2. I just noticed (at the end of the semester) that a professor and Jellyfish have something in common - the name Myron! $\:D/$

In Lit class today, we talked about reading the play Fences next week, and my first thought was, didn't we already read that?

I didn't realize until later that I was thinking of the Odyssey episode. $\:D/$

Did anyone else know our secretary of commerce is Gary Locke?
