the shrewdness of apes

Shocker

is indeed the best name ever!

A corollary to that is dating someone who shares the name of a sibling. My sister dated a Phil for a very long time (her 1st love, in fact) and I never knew how she could do it. How did she ever say his name in bed? Hell, I wouldn't even look at girls named Michelle.

while indeed, the good jamies are far better than the bad jamies it's still not the best company to keep you have to admit. jamie foxx?!? what is that man doing singing about slow jamz? and while on the topic, it's too bad you're not still doing you're radio show because that would be the perfect theme song for the "i like slow jamz" era.

i went back and forth on whether mr. foxx was a good or bad jamie. i'm not a big fan of his in general, but i felt that the overall lack of black jamies was enough to make him good.

I must share my opinion that Jamie Foxx suxx.

Although I'm named James after one of my great-grandfathers, my parents dubbed me Jamie at birth. This was all fine and good until I was eight years old and The Bionic Woman vaulted into the upper ranks of TV popularity. The Bionic Woman's name, you see, was Jamie Sommers. This provided a perfect opportunity for other kids to make fun of me for having "a girl's name." As I was already tormented on a near-constant basis for my last name (here comes the flood, better wear your floods, Flood is a dumb name etc.) and for wearing glasses and being inhumanly skinny, I decided this was too much to handle. I announced to my family that I was theretofore to be known as Jimmy. The woman who lived next door tried to dissuade me, telling me that she had a friend named Jamie who was, in fact, a grown man, but I was having none of it. Jimmy I became. Until I hit high school, when I realized that Jimmy made me sound like a small child or possibly a chipmunk. Jim had that glint of maturity to it. When I'm 50 I will probably make everyone start calling me James.

the Bionic Woman was slightly before my time, but I was always tormented that the annoying son on the annoying Small Wonder was named Jamie.

That's too funny b/ we were just laughing about this recently. Justin went out on a few dates w/ a guy named Justin. I asked him if it was weird and he said yes. I then told of this girl who I used to play soccer with named Ryan, who dated a Ryan and they really liked each other but then she had to dump him b/c it was weirding her out. And I agree with Phil on the sibling's name thing. I think Pappy is actually dating a girl named Kelly (at least not Kellie or worse, a Pippy). Anyway, that's what Gutterball told me ;) I guess it happens a lot. My mom married a Gerry (Gerard) and her father was Jerome and usually called Jerry. Then my parents couldn't think of a name for my brother and named him Gerry; oh, and her brother was a Jerome but he only lived a week. And again, I'm w/ Phil, I don't think I'd ever be comfortable dating a J/Gerry. Plus, that saves of the avoidance of having yet another J/Gerry in my family. Though I do plan on naming a son Jerome (if I have kids and have a son, it's my only name I have picked out and I've had it forever) BUT, he will NEVER be called Jerry. He will be Jerome :) Wow, I'm rambling as usual. I love how no one is even reading this as I'm so far behind in my tsoa reading! Hi Jamie!!!

Ignore my last thought, I thought this was from more than a week ago. Ignore anything I write :)

Hi usually like Jamies, I can't think of too many I don't like but I hear ya on the Small Wonder! It was such an AWFUL show and yet I'd watch it anyway...

Jim, interestingly enough, my 56 year old uncle insists on being called James, an gets all po'd when he gets called Jim or Jimmy. In college he demanded that his name be spelled Jimm.
