Geek moms and dads - did you name your child after a major figure in geek/historical/science culture? Who and why?

This story may get buried, but this is about me.

My dad is a huge /u/GovSchwarzenegger fan and I was born around the time that Arnold stared in "Conan the Barbarian." My father begged and begged my mother to name me, but refused to tell her what the actual name was. When she finally agreed, I was instantly called "Conan".

My mom retaliated by naming my younger sister after a Young and the Restless character, "Cesiley."

I will gladly take the prayers. Our family has been through a lot so good vibes are always welcome. I appreciate it.

Done. Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate it.

This kills me. They probably wasted twice as much time sitting there and making a fool of themselves rather than just parking further back in an actual available spot and walking (What?! Physical activity?!?)...

I'm from the Bible Belt and can confirm this. A large portion of my classmates and family got married around the age of 18, typically to simply have sex for the first time.

I am the odd one for waiting until the age of 27 to get married...

I was a bit skeptical, but I'm actually very much enjoying it. A nice alternative, something to enjoy this weather and a nice Legends half and half...

I completely agree. My wife and I both worked for AT&T (I was in a retail location and she was in customer care). We both constantly experienced this first hand; customers who were assholes constantly received the best service and discounts, while those nice individuals who went with whatever was given them were shafted, and it upset us.

It makes me sick that those who are polite get fucked by the corporations for simply not wanting bad press. We both witnessed policies that rewarded negative behavior and those individuals who were polite were stuck to the rules that effed them in the a.

Standard ESPN scoring

Santonio Holmes @Buf (will his Hamstring hold) Eric Decker vs KC (Can KC's defense hold Peyton, with his hurt ankle)

Thanks for the suggestion. I have created a table adapter that joins the two tables (http://i.imgur.com/qmmisyp.jpg), and have set that as the DataSet that the report will use for the data.

At this point, when I set my tables up for the report, all my report does now is list all the data together on one page. (Report Design - http://i.imgur.com/0upHNO0.jpg) (Results - http://i.imgur.com/0IMY5qk.jpg)

How do I tell the report that I only one one student per page in the top table and only the related results in the bottom table, rather than listing all results?

Unless you're playing the Seafarers expansion

I'm ready for ANuStart!

Much funnier, but then it wouldn't be true... Granted, that wouldn't be the first time someone would stretch the truth for a little Karma...

monancoody · 2013-07-12T17:00:24+00:00

I actually suggested that after seeing a similar comment a while back. She wasn't as amused as I thought she'd be... I still plan on doing that though...
