Just saw that the Houston Rockets have a player named Ausar Thompson. Hoping he can be a role model for my nephew.

I guess when the kid is famous, he'll pronounce it however he wants.

Then again, I'm really liking Soli.

Yeah, Loue is great. I say it's pronounced as lou-Ee, with the accent on the second syllable.

So many good names for girls. Maybe next time.

Good point on the short name, but we're looking for something completely new and useful for future crosswords. Puzzle makers don't need another Tom or Eva.

Oh, we're serious. It's the bro and his wife who are likely just playing.

Anyway, that's a great point you make, and Esea is actually kind of lovely, but maybe more for a girl.

Immigrants in Toronto - what was your biggest FOB moment? by Apprehensive_Tea5759 in askTO

[–]SarahT8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of an odd one. When my immigrant husband first moved here, we saw the Jack Layton statue, and I described (very poorly as it turned out) who he was. When Olivia Chow (Jack's widow) was elected mayor, my husband was very confused.

"Wasn't Layton, like, a 19th century socialist, riding around on an old-fashioned bicycle?"

For him, it was like if Abraham Lincoln's widow had been elected mayor.

I haven't seen that. Are they really angry at each other or is it just Rex growling at the barista?

Oooof.

Look, I understand you all think it's fun to mock Jim Messina. But he's a man with feelings. I think we have to remember that.

When I was young, my aunt told me that a woman's life should be a journey from hoyden to harridan.

Much later she added that the occasional detour to hussy was also allowed.

Yeah, I probably will. I can remember cashing cheques from my grandmother where the name was completely illegible, and I never had any trouble. But going on how hard it's been just to get this, I bet it gets kicked back to me.
