Absent For A Bit ....

I am away for a little while working on a few or more episodes for The Adventures of My Space Alien Alter Ego story ... will return (to Earth) soon!

Notice: Blogger has screwed up and lost a bunch of photos out of my blog! They are replaced with a gray silhouette of a human head. I will eventually get them replaced with the correct photo, it may take a while to find and fix everything. So some of my stories don't make much sense without their photos, sorry for the inconvenience.

Ground Control To .... Baby Still

I instaLL the latest update to Google Earth on my iPhone, but a few seconds into playing with it I am suddenly 33 miles above the earth's surface. "Hellooooo, helppppppppp"


-----

I was reading CNN this morning and found out that the name of the royal baby in the UK is Still Unnamed. I thought that Still is a terrible first name but I found the middle name Unnamed an interesting choice. I am pronouncing it with a long U sound and the accent on the na, so it is You-NAH-Med, very similar to Muhhamed. I checked and there are no previous British monarchy with this name.

I asked my wife if she had heard what the royal baby's middle name was. She said, "No" - so I told her the You-NAH-Med, and her response was, "Oh My!!!" - so I am waiting now to see if she teLLs anyone.

I have decided that the first name Still should be pronounced Steel.

My wife's response a few minutes later to the complete name was, "That's terrible!"

I told her that it must be a British thing. 

I caLLed my mother to teLL her, but she just laughed. I told her those two words were actuaLLy in the CNN headline.

Brits seem to be naming children using old names at present so I think he should be called Harold, it has been a long time since we have had a King Harold.

Maybe Harold Elvis James, he would be known as King HEJ then which sounds like a Norse God .. . . .

Pearl: One yes vote, YEA!!!

Rob: I found several old names: Archibold, Arnold, Gerold, Griswold, Harold, Jerold, Leopold, Reynold, and Reginold. But I think my favorite is Ernestold.

Remember the movie, Dirty Dancing and how they called her Baby, like in nobody puts Baby in the corner? What if they go with Baby? Would that not just be great! Not that Steel Un-nam-ed is not a good name, but really---Baby. I think there is a song with that name too.
