That looks like the name of a school. Poor kid.

Old english names are in vogue for children right now. For instance, my nephew is Graham.
#1 boy's name for 2014 in the US - Noah
When I named my son it was around 30 on Social Security's yearly list. That was why I chose it. It wasn't popular, but it wasn't outrageously unusual. Now every place we go there are several Noahs (and Kainoas because Hawaii) and it drives me insane.
Also I have friends who each have young daughters. One is Kinley and the other is Kinsely. Kin/Ken girl names seem to be in vogue.

When I was subbing last year there was a girl in one of the classrooms I worked in who was named Kensington. We also had Grayden and Grayson in the same room. Grayson was a girl. Grayden was a boy. I always got them mixed up because I kept thinking of Dick Grayson, so that was a male name in my head.
Also, there were a few Lilys in their school. One of the weirdest spellings I ever saw was Lilleigh.
Khrystyne Haje's name is spelled like that because her parents let her siblings decide how to spell her name. Still pronounced Christine.
That was your wife.

One of my running conspiracy theories is that Fox News exists as the original Colbert. They're shill Republicans, who intentionally get "burned" to rally the left. I say this as a card-carrying dem, too. I think when O'Reilly is on his deathbed, he'll confess to beating Colbert to the punch, albeit with less intentional comedy.
Not a chance. They're still run by the guy responsible for the Willie Horton ad.
Same.

Hey, I like the softcore Canadian-Archie porn.
It's ridiculous and silly, and reinforces my Canadian stereotypes.

I do to! It's a notable accomplishment to be ranked higher than it.

I guess "Random Crap" is the best place to put this.
So, I'm not a tattoo person. I don't want a (real) tattoo, I don't like making long-term commitments, I don't like permanent alterations to my body, etc.; Tattoos on girls are a huge turn-off for me. (You gals can do literally anything you like, they are just not my thing.) The point of this paragraph is, I don't do tattoos.
THAT BEING SAID
I've had the idea to get a tattoo of a single, tiny dot on my left upper arm/shoulder just to say I've gotten a tattoo and unlock that achievement. It's mostly a joke, but a non-intrusive one, and it would look like a mole or speck aside from it being black. (So it'd look like a cancerous speck.)
Anyway, I can't see regretting a dot on my arm. At least, not more than a FUCKING UNNECESSARY SHOULDER SCAR. Sorry, issues. Anyway, if I can live with my shoulder scar that I hate and never wanted or should have gotten, surely I can live with a little pet tattoo dot on my arm.
Any thoughts? I know asking "Should I get a tattoo that will affect my life in no way" is a dumb question, but have we established that I have commitment issues?
Also, how much would that even cost. I assume there's a minimum tattoo cost at most place just for the effort of setting up.

Ha, nice. I'm sure it's not an original idea by ANY means, but it seems like a fun way to get a tattoo without actually, you know, getting one.

I was talking with another network engineer in Instant Messaging. I asked permission to send out an update to 9,555 computers. He said go ahead, I responded "And away they go." and he said, "HOLD ON A SEC."
