    I used to work with a guy from Mongolia. He had an awesome name, Chin. I used to tell all my friends about him and his cool name. Well Chin just added me on Facebook there and guess what? His name is even more awesome than he let on, in full his name is actually Chinzorig!

    So AH, what great names have you come across over the years?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Max Power, he's the man, whose name you'd love to touch, but you mustn't touch. His name sounds good in your ear, but when you say it, you mustn't fear, cause his name can be said, by any one.. :cool::cool:

    Recently at a family wedding, I was told to ask the groom's 10 year old nephew what his middle name was. Intrigued, I went up and asked.

    Danger is his middle name. It really actually is.
