Is this heaven?...
I don't know what it is about this topic that appeals to me, but I was telling a good friend about it on the phone last night and as I was announcing her "new" name, I broke out in uncontrollable laughter just like the first day I read the beginning of this thread. I had to hand the phone to my husband to talk to her while I composed myself...what is it that causes this? I think maybe it means I am really stressed from work and need this laughter as a release. At least I HOPE that's what it means. 
It makes me feel kind of foolish to be so "into this" but I just can't seem to get enough of this stuff. I have really enjoyed it and thanks again, URKMB, for starting this thread.

Zippy B - You are quite welcome. As a matter of fact, I read through the posts again this afternoon while I should have been working and cracked up all over again. Sure hope I don't sign something by mistake as Crusty Girdlefanny - or maybe it just might help....

H-Mom,
Interesting you should mention changing my name. Thing is, I was a Girdlefanny until I got married. I thought long and hard about whether to keep my maiden name, but the illustrious institution where I matriculated was so populated with Girdlefannies--and in fact, we just read here that Buttercup Girdlefanny is keeping up the tradition--that there were not one, not two, but four Chim-chim Girdlefannies enrolled at the time I went there. I was tired of being mistaken for the Chim-Chim Girdlefanny who never paid her library fines. When my DH Mr. Cootiebutt proposed, well, lets just say I felt his pain, and wished to share it. Isn't that what love is all about?
It is now time to beat a dignified retreat. I have to go make dinner for all the little Cootiebutts.

Addendum: My DH's first name is Squeezit. I am not sure the editor would allow me to put his first and last names together in the same line...

trying to delete double post, won't let me. Sorry
Ladies ... (and Gents, if you dare be on this thread) ...
I am still getting a great laugh out of this thread ...
Anytime I am feeling a little down, all I need to do is come here. The added comments and banter are hysterical.
Thanks, UKMB (aka Crusty Girdlefanny) ... this has been a great treat.

We learn a lot from crayons:
some are sharp; some are dull; some are pretty;
some have weird names; all are different colors.
And they all have to learn to live in the same box.

My darling college freshman son, Poopsie Bubblesniffer, is gearing up for his first college season. He is getting used to practicing in much colder temps than he had to in high school and sometimes even with snowflakes falling all around...I would imagine it is hard picking out a white baseball from a flurry of white flakes, indeed!
He is really enjoying his teammates and coaches. Let me introduce his coaches to you:
Head coach Loopy Bubbleshorts...his last name fits him well because he is, shall we say, vertically challenged.
He is a great coach both on and off the field and his short stature doesn't matter at all. He is 62 years old (I think that's right) and still going strong. 
Pitching coach Dinky Applesquirt...his name doesn't fit him at all as he isn't either dinky or a squirt. He's much taller than Loopy.
He pitched in the major leagues and he was a two-way player at OU, just like my son wants to be.
Third base coach Zippy Bubblebrain...his name doesn't flatter him, either, as he has a great baseball mind and has been a very pleasant addition to the OU staff this season (he was the former head coach at O-r-a-l Roberts). I am flattered that he and I have the same first name... doesn't the name Zippy make you think of someone who moves around fast? Well, I can't say that the name fits me too well now but I used to be pretty quick many moons ago.
I am very grateful to all of these great coaches who are helping my Poopsie develop his baseball skills in order to reach his full potential. I can't wait for the season to begin!
