(Don't mind me. I'm just trying to be witty to make CP's list.)

CP: I like your name. I've always been curious whether ceteris should be pronounced with a /k/ or an /s/ at the beginning. I think generally ceteris paribus is pronounced with a /k/, but in et cetera it's pronounced with a /s/. This makes no sense. What say you?

ps. I alphabetized my list of suggested names for Marsupial's offspring, so ignore TD's scoffs. Ordering lists in informal settings is perfectly normal. Really.

Whatever. Your lists are annoying, banal, mediocre, uninspiring and vapid.

I am hurt that you don't fine me witty, but you left off YOhio and included SU so you must be drunk.

Great to have you in a non-lurking status.

At its best this site provides stimulating fare when rationally discussing current events and religion. Enjoy the witty commentary from many - including '71, AA, Adam, Archaea, CC, DDD, Gnapper, IPU, LPoke, PAC, SeattleUte, Solon and the non A&M OCD version of Waters.time). Perusing the resident philosophers motivates me to finally learn Greek and read the "real" NT.

I am pretty sure I am the only board member that has presented a paper to the Emory Finance department yet somehow I get no love. Its an outrage (far more than not mentioning Jeff specifically).

Would you mind elaborating here? What do you foresee? What kinds of preparations do you recommend?

Noah the prophet or King Noah?

I can ask this because sometimes I fear you.

This list is like one of McCarthy's lists.....some glaring omissions and a whole bunch of folks who don't deserve to be on it.

PS.....why did you alphebetize your list? If it is because you have OCD, do you use public restrooms?

Technically, '71s full moniker name is BYU71, so its not completely accurate. I had the same thought, wondering if the user list page for "B" names was down when he was compiling his list. Apparently not. I was an intentional omission.
