One in Australia, whom I emailed about 12 years ago because she had the hotmail account I'd wanted! Another was the unfortunate Jane Holland, daughter of Lord Attenborough, who was drowned in the Boxing Day tsunami. There are several others around with websites: executives, business consultants, interior designers etc. But only one poet, to date.<BR/><BR/>And for this relief much thanks!Jane Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590668593487445482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014415529871703586.post-85231531044285150892008-08-19T09:04:00.000-06:002008-08-19T09:04:00.000-06:00So an African-American Poet, a Canadian artist, an...So an African-American Poet, a Canadian artist, and a guy from Chicago all walk into a bar...<BR/><BR/>I'm done now.

I was still an Episcopal priest then so it was shocking, but not surprising. After that I googled myself about once a month to see what my enemies were saying about me. Now I don't care.Alice C.

The other version of Seana Graham is younger and apparently makes the news mainly for her athletics, at least so far. I can google only myself if I eliminate all reference to scores, sports and athletics. In the end, though, this makes me feel like a real couch potato.seana grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774794086733027289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014415529871703586.post-46216306845461721642008-08-16T14:55:00.000-06:002008-08-16T14:55:00.000-06:00@Mark - no offense taken.

The anecdote was intended to cause laughter.<BR/><BR/>The better story, though one not understood by many people my age, is that of my great-grandfather (or so the story goes). This particular great-grandfather was of Irish descent, and his wife was pregnant. On the day she goes into labor, he picks up a phone and asks the operator for the cab company so that he can get her to the hospital in a timely manner. The cab company answers.<BR/><BR/>My wife's in labor, he says. Send a cab!<BR/><BR/>Where do you want us to send it, they ask.<BR/><BR/>Such and such a place, says he.<BR/><BR/>What's your name, they ask.<BR/><BR/>Charlie McCarthy, he says. <I>Click.</I> They hang up on him.<BR/><BR/>He picks up and asks the operator for the cab company again. Again they ask for his name. Again they hang up on him.<BR/><BR/>The third time, when they ask for his name, he tells them Joe Smith. They send the cab.<BR/><BR/>For those of you too young to remember (which technically includes me), Charlie McCarthy was the name of ventriloquist/comedian Edgar Bergen's most popular dummy. The folks on the other line figured he was making a crank call :-)JeFF Stumpohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00199153821723489665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014415529871703586.post-67781824920976434442008-08-16T14:38:00.000-06:002008-08-16T14:38:00.000-06:00Interesting post Reginald.

So far as I know, I and my mother (and now my son) are the only Graniers in Ireland. In school, where the convention was for teachers and pupils to address one another by their surnames, they called me Granny. If I'm in a hurry when booking a film or taxi I often just say 'Granger' so that I won't be asked to spell it. <BR/><BR/>Jeff, that is one hilarious anecdote, 'Atreestumpo'. I laughed out loud (no offence intended).Mark Granierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09899629187771913398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014415529871703586.post-50190583533179366742008-08-16T10:54:00.000-06:002008-08-16T10:54:00.000-06:00Extending sympathy as another someone with a last ...Extending sympathy as another someone with a last name that ought to be easy to spell, yet someone always messes it up. Stumpo becomes Stump, Stumps, Stumpy (I know of no language where "ee" and "oh" sound anything alike).<BR/><BR/>When refereeing one winter for an indoor soccer facility in Bloomington, IL, I was asked by the manager how to spell my last name. Stumpo, I said, like a tree stump with an "o" at the end. My first check? Made out to Jeff Atreestumpo. He wasn't being a wiseguy, either.<BR/><BR/>Wouldn't you expect people to default to the, well, real word in spelling your last name? After all, there is such a thing as a shepherd.JeFF Stumpohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00199153821723489665noreply@blogger.com
