Our cats always end up with multiple names.
Lord Flynn MacLeod the Highlander Pippin the Fat and Fleet, fool of a Took, Rincewind etc.
What we call them depends on the day, the mood, and the antics thereof.

He's of Swedish extraction, with a spello somewhere in between.
Because back in the old country, the sons of Anders used to be able to keep track of their consonants: Anders' son --> Andersson. Either someone in the chain simplified it, or some tired C&I official on Ellis Island couldn't be bothered to write down the "redundant" extra 's'.
Maybe you are too, Ash -- or where did yer Pa get his middle name from?
-- Christian R. Conrad Same old username (as above), but now on iki.fi(Yeah, yeah, it redirects to the same old GMail... But just in case I ever want to change.)

Wish I knew (that last.)
i'm an orphan now re the generation who knew where all the *bodies were buried; sometimes I regret my uncuriosity way-back. Other times ..maybe I sleep better now? ..for Not-knowing. In the immortal words of Yul Brynner: It's a Puzzlement! but funny thing, I really don't Miss all that info==antithetic to say, Feynman's omni- Curiosity wherever his eyes fell.)
*Hey! didja know that your Great-grate-irascible Grandfather shot Justice in-her-pretty-blue-dress? waay-back.
(Somewhere there is/was another son of my Pater--even my Aunt didn't know his whereabouts at time of her death); a collective which would have been the last ..to obsess over one of those family-Tree thngs. Did they know too much/or too little? Puzzlement #2 I guess.
oTpy. PS: there's a cousin who has 'meant to' drop a load of such matters on moi; not yet though. What, Me Worry? PPS: Welcome back, O irascible-/but really a pussy-cat One. ;^> Used with permission of © Holder.
