An Assortment of My Works, Then.

[Lethal Interjection]

The phalanx (Ancient Greek: φάλαγξ, Modern Greek: φάλαγγα, phālanga) (plural phalanxes or phalanges (Ancient and Modern Greek: φάλαγγες, phālanges)) is a rectangular mass military formation, usually composed entirely of heavy infantry armed with spears, pikes, sarissas, or similar weapons.

All there...
Although they did need phalanges to hold their spears.

Colour me corrected. At first I wasn't sure if you were chiding me on improper use or just furthering the joke/conversation. I knew they were etymologically the same, but I had never heard the plural of phalanx being phalanges (I always figured phalanxes, as mentioned in above reference).

Then why are you on the Sadist Masochist Bisexual Canadia Forum?

Today, on my lunch, my coworker was bored and flipping through the phonebook for dirty-sounding last names. Apparently Hamilton, Ontario is home to S & M Cocksman. True story.

That is amazing.

Have I mentioned Edith Balls on this board? She lives up in Owen Sound area.

Ed Balls is the minister for education. People have to stand up in the house of commons and refer to him as "My right honourable friend Mr Balls."

[FengharTheNord]

I wish I knew some people who had the last name of balls. They would probably be pretty nice folks that would make a mean casserole and play scribbage on Sunday.

There is also an Albert Zucchini (I am pretty sure that was the first name, but I am positive about the last name.)

[Edminster]

I know a Dick Cox the Third. He prefers going by the name 'Richard'.

[mountainmage]

There's a Richard Dickert, or as my mom calls him, Dick Dickert.

There used to be a girl at my school called Somekid. She kept getting called down to the office, and the speaker would always say, "Would Somekid please come to the office, that's Somekid to the office? Thank you."

First name or last?
If it is first, the parents should be shot.
That is, if this isn't a fabrication (really just too much for me to actually assume the truth with a name like that).

Hmmm...I think I can beat that. There was a girl at my high school whose last name was Flowereater. Plus, I had a chemistry teacher whose last name was Cowmeadow.

It was the first name. And it was true, though I'm not sure how it is I could actually prove it to you. She was a few grades ahead of me in school, so I didn't know her very well. I really just remember the intercom calls.

Obviously you can't prove it, but that's fine. You don't really have any reason (that I can see) to lie about it, either. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a joke, and you saying it isn't is good enough for me to take your word on it.

Plenty of people just won't believe me on the Eateth Balls one. Granted, it is second hand knowledge for even me. But the guy who told me (who went to school with the girl) is quite sheepish, and wouldn't have said anything of the kind in any other circumstance (he got flustered and red just repeating it in front of a larger group). So I know I'm not lying, and I'm very certain he wasn't.

I liked how the clouds turned out, though the tree and the depth of field on the grass and the shadowing of the bigg fatty could use work, obviously.
