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.

I almost came up with Cameron as my first name

Until this moment I never had any idea that "muckefuck" was a real word in any language.

I used to drink Postum from time to time, when my coffee consumption would get up too high and give me an acid stomach. I was actually sad to see it go.

This use of 'Maria' is a rarity in the UK and Ireland, and Anglo-America. No?
