And speaking of names

[muckefuck]

Sometimes I wish my parents had had the stones to give me "Maria" as a middle name (since I was born on a Marian feast after all) but they were just not Old Country enough for that. Of course, I had a golden opportunity when it came time to pick my confirmation name and I blew it.

Thank goodness for the Internet, then, where you're free to adopt any names you wish. I was helping someone on LJ with their Welsh recently and they told me (in German) "with that name, you must speak German!" And at first I was like How did you find out my surname? I never mention it here! Then it occurred to me that they were referring to my username, which couldn't possibly be more German. Duh.

Did I already mention that someone left a jar of some instant drink called "Pero" in the staff lounge and labeled it "organic coffee"? The label gives the ingredients as "malted barley, chicory, barley". In other words, it's muckefuck. I keep intending to drink some of myself but forgetting to bring along a mug.

Wait, it's gone? I guess the market for it finally died off. DAMN YOU STARBUCKS!

That said, I'm skeptical that there's any meaningful difference between Postum, Pero, Inka, and so on. I'll pick up a jar of one of these some time and try it out.

The ingredient lists for Pero and Postum are totally different, so I'll be interested to see how closely they end up resembling each other.

Now I'm thirsty for 보리차.
