puremotion asks:
"Would you tell the folks out their about our dog and baby doll? And re-explain just why Linoleum is the best name in the world?
Oh, and do you remember Get your own pen! and what you said to after about cutting things off with razor blades? If you do I think these are both great stories for you to share :D"I will quickly explain our baby and why Linoleum is the best name in the world, BUT I won't answer the others. I am a firm believer that Inside Jokes are more special when they remain inside. Plus I think they are funny to us because we were there.
puremotion decided that she was going to have a baby with me, even if I was gay. End of subject. So we tried to figure out names for the baby. The more we joked about it, the more serious I realized she was being (not SERIOUS SERIOUS, but she would get all worked up and defensive when I would throw out ridiculous names). She even bought this little doll that represented our child.
My #1 name was "Linoleum."
I felt that when the definition and connotation of that word was removed, it was a beautiful sounding name that could easily have the nickname "Leum" attached to it.
She however would not budge.
We decided that would take all the thrown out names and give them to our imaginary hypothetical dog.
That dog's name was
"Linoleum Gay Nagle Coca-cola Mmmm Refreshing Krolewicz."When asked though, she says the baby's name is "Linoleum" so I guess I won. :)
