1-31-07: Never Forget!

Here’s a photo that I’m posting for the amusement of Andy Ramoniac, my brother from another mother and fellow fan of Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Maybe It’s the Style at the World Bank

You’d think that Paul Wolfowitz, president of the World Bank, would’ve spent some of his hefty salary to replace some worn-out clothes for his many public appearances, but noooooo….

AP photos of Paul Wolfowitz taking off his shoes at a mosque, revealing holes in both his socks.
Visiting holy shrines calls for holey footwear.

Perhaps he’s setting a good example by not being an ostentatious dresser, but dude, get some new socks.

His Name is Gabriel

Deenster and newborn baby Gabriel

Okay, so now I have confirmation: Deenster’s baby’s name is Gabriel David Maxwell Stevenson and not Urhines Kendall Icy Eight Special K, as I had assumed earlier. Good thing too — having a name like “Urhines” (I believe it’s meant to be pronounced “Your Highness”) would give any kid some kind of complex.

Once again, congrats to the new parents! Now the adventure begins…

New Kid in Town

Gabriel's crib is ready and waiting!
Actual crib soon to be occupied by Urhines Kendall Icy Eight Special K.

I just heard that Deenster gave birth to a healthy 8-pound baby boy. Rumour has it that his name is Gabriel, but until I hear actual confirmation, I shall assume that his name is Urhines Kendall Icy Eight Special K.

Congrats to the Deenster and Kiff, and welcome to the world, Urhines Kendall Icy Eight Special K!
