What Are You Doing RIGHT NOW? Part ELEVEN: Through the Wormhole...

You're mad you fail at a game people are actually excited when they know an answer to?

No, no, not mad at all. Just being honest. It makes me feel really stupid because I rarely answer anything correctly.

I still don't see why. It's a game that answering the questions is meant to be a challenge to win money. Most of it is pointless trivia which means you have more to worry about than the name of a character in a forgotten play from the 20s.

Somebody's kid better be named after me.

[firedoom666]

I don't want any person named after me

there are too many people named Michael already

Most of it's quite a bit more topical than that.

The first kid I stick in a woman will be named Blake STM Preston. You have my word.

I guess, but I can't get geography or history questions right. Usually just pop culture. It makes me feel ignorant in general. Makes me wish I had paid more attention in history class.

As for the names, I was plagued with an awful last name before I got married. From that, I want to be sure that whatever we name our kid will be clear and easy to pronounce. I spent decades correcting people and constantly having to spell my name out on the phone, correct it for team things, listen to it butchered by people.

I also wonder if it sounds at all non-english, if there is bias when it comes to applying for jobs and stuff. If you have a Mary or a Jovindanne with equal skills, my guess is the employer goes for the simplest (well, or the best looking...)

[Witticus]

If it's a girl I might name it Blake.

[SuperTigerMario]

Now all I need to do is find a way to make that happen.

[Stephaniescooby]

Geez, sorry that was crazy long.

How do you do on Jeopardy usually, SSSS? How about you, Witt?
