I would like to congratulate Charles and Cherlyn on the announcement of their pregnancy. Well it's really just Cherlyn's pregnancy, Charles is not pregnant. But they'll both be parents. And they'll be great parents. You can follow along here. Here are just a few name suggestions that I have thought long and hard about, they should all work for either sex:

Steve
Ice
Rutger
Spuds
Slim
Banana Slim
Oprah
Coolio
Arbuckle
Orth

And, I'd also like to point out that although my babysitting rates have gone up due to a very high demand, I will still offer you both my friends and family discount, which is a solid 5% off, plus expenses.

Last night I watched Dr. Strangelove for the first time since I was a late teenager. It's really great. I mean really. Here's my favorite quote "make me a drink, grain alcohol and rain water." Then I put on All The President's Men while I went to sleep. I tend to find the sound of Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford very comforting. But the typewriters in the movie kept jarring me awake. The movie finally ended after one last very loud typewriting sound. It was about 5 am and I finally got some decent sleep.

I like Ice but don't forget Steel. It just wouldn't be fair to Dougie Mienkievicz (no, i'm not going to bother looking up how to spell it, which probably in and of itself is not fair to same)if they didn't at least consider Steel.

Or maybe, as a sort of reflexive nod to Dougie/Steel, they could name it Gload.

my vote is for rutger.

or the whole lot of them, tagging on their last name there at the end.

i'm demanding that they be named Centurion Snoopy Wagner for a boy, and Thursday Heliotrope Wagner for a girl.

OK! Charles & Cherlyn, I think we got it:

Steve Snoopy Gload-Mientkiewicz Logan Orth Beastmaster Wagner, III,esq.
