Meh.), and I love making up names in that spirit. One of them I thunk up a long time ago was "Sue Nommi." A friend of mine and I had a brainstorm for a petition full of obviously bogus names he was sending to a radio show. Together we came up with, among others, "Willie Maykit," "Kenny Dewitt" and "Betty Dohnt." And then there was our 'piéce de résistance,' "Buster Hyman" ...which the wacky DJs used when they read the letter on the air!!<BR/><BR/>Of course, none of those made-up names can hold a candle to the name of a real TV news anchor here in the Chicago area, Dick Johnson.Tony Gasbarrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17150839210395446415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2958679963868626698.post-60592504870849487572009-02-28T21:15:00.000-05:002009-02-28T21:15:00.000-05:00I love crocuses!

Calliope is lovely too, I admired her gown before reading your comment, its incredibly carved. But is it my imagination (or maybe your photography ;)) or is her head a little out of proportion?Gillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00322140697547406511noreply@blogger.com
