What's the story behind your nick and avatar?

Radio from Hell... "boner of the day"... "Space Elders"... good stuff. Every time I go back to Utah I'm amazed they (Kerry Jackson and Bill Allred) are still on the air.

I haven't been back to the Wasatch Front in 5 years or so. I hadn't thought of any of that stuff until you guys mentioned it.

Kimberly Ann is my real life name and that's me in the avatar, which Runtu fixed in Photoshop in order to lower the size of the file. Thank you, Runtu!

KA

You're most welcome. :-)

[_Seven]

I chose the name "Seven" for it's symbolic meaning from the scriptures, which occur all through the Bible. It means "complete." I think my first thread on Dr. Shades old board was on the passage of Isaiah 4 which indicates there will be seven women to one man during the millenium. Given my rejection and repulsion of the LDS doctrine of polygamy, I wanted to find out the other interpretations of this section. It was part of what gave me the idea to use that name.

On a lighter note, I am a forever fan of Seinfeld reruns and there was an episode where George thought of the best baby name for his future child, if he were ever to have one. The name he had thought of on his own was "Seven." It was a really funny episode.

No avatar yet.....

I told my son his first child must be named "Soda."

Oops! was that the name on Seinfeld that George wanted for his own? I thought it was Seven but now that you mention "Soda" it sounds like my memory has failed me.

Maybe Runtu's a fan of The Outsiders. Did the middle name "Pop" go with it?

No, I think it was "seven".

No, I think it was "seven".

I hope it was or my name is no longer what I thought it was. :( tears falling down....

I wish I had the DVD to know for sure, but the name "Soda" rings a bell in some part of that episode.

[_Who Knows]

Oh man, i just busted a gut reading the script. Sorry if it's too long, but trust me, it's worth it:

SUSAN: So, have you picked out a name yet?

CARRIE: Well, we've narrowed it down to a few. We like Kimberley.

SUSAN: Aww.

GEORGE: (negative) Hu-ho, boy.

KEN: You don't like Kimberley?

GEORGE: Ech. What else you got?

KEN: How about Joan?

GEORGE: Aw c'mon, I'm eating here.

SUSAN: (warning) George!

CARRIE: Pamela?

GEORGE: Pamela?! Awright, I tell you what. You look like nice people, I'm gonna help you out. You want a beautiful name? Soda.

KEN: What?

GEORGE: Soda. S-O-D-A. Soda.

CARRIE: I don't know, it sounds a little strange.

GEORGE: All names sound strange the first time you hear 'em. What, you Telling me people loved the name Blanche the first time they heard it?

KEN: Yeah, but uh... Soda?

GEORGE: Yeah, that's right. It's working.

CARRIE: We'll put it on the list.

GEORGE: I solve problems. That's just what I do.

...

George and Susan, heading home from the restaurant. George is happy, smiling and whistling.

GEORGE: I think they really went for that Soda.

SUSAN: What, are you crazy? They hated it. They were just humouring you.

GEORGE: Ah, alright. Believe me, that kid's gonna be called Soda.

SUSAN: I can tell you, I would never name my child Soda.

GEORGE: Oh, no no no. Course not. I got a great name for our kids. A Real original. You wanna hear what it is? Huh, you ready?

SUSAN: Yeah.

George uses his finger to draw a number 7 in the air, accompanying the Strokes of his digit with a two-tone whistle.

SUSAN: What is that? Sign language?

GEORGE: No, Seven.

SUSAN: Seven Costanza? You're serious?

GEORGE: Yeah. It's a beautiful name for a boy or a girl...

Susan scoffs.

GEORGE: ...especially a girl. Or a boy.

SUSAN: I don't think so.

GEORGE: What, you don't like the name?

SUSAN: It's not a name. It's a number.

GEORGE: I know. It's Mickey Mantle's number. So not only is it an all Around beautiful name, it is also a living tribute.

SUSAN: It's awful. I hate it!

GEORGE: (angry) Well, that's the name!

SUSAN: (also angry) Oh no it is not! No child of mine is ever going to be named Seven!

GEORGE: (yelling) Awright, let's just stay calm here! Don't get all crazy on me!



[Jerry's Apartment]

Jerry walks from the bathroom, talking to George, who's just told him about his contretemps with Susan.

JERRY: Seven? Yeah, I guess I could see it. Seven. Seven periods of school, seven beatings a day. Roughly seven stitches a beating, and eventually seven years to life. Yeah, you're doing that child quite a service.

GEORGE: (adamant) Yes I am. I defy you to come up with a better name than Seven.

Jerry walks toward the kitchen. He sees an item on the counter.

JERRY: Awright, let's see. How about Mug? (picks up the mug) Mug Costanza, that's original. (he turns and sees another item) Or uh, Ketchup? Pretty name for a girl.

GEORGE: Alright, you having a good time there? Jerry is in the kitchen, and opens a cupboard. His eyes run over the array of good within.

JERRY: I got fifty right here in the cupboard. How about Bisquik? Pimento. Gherkin. Sauce. Maxwell House.

GEORGE: (shouts) Awright already!! This is a very key issue with me, Jerry. I had this name for a long time.

[Doctor Steuss]

I hope it was or my name is no longer what I thought it was. :( tears falling down....
