Wandering through the Dandelion Garden you may come across a variety of characters in my world. Some are living people, some just live in my head. Nicknames are often used to protect the innocent – and the guilty. There is Chick and the Thrill and Otis among many others. But most of the time you’ll be hanging out with Jim – a pretty good guy.

Force It You Frickin' Liar
This post may as well be called Friday Night with Otis. Except for the fact that I have not been drinking and it is Wednesday. And, of course, my name really is not Otis. But that brings up a popular subject between Chick and myself these days - names. We will be having our third child soon and we really don't have a name ready. Actually we have about four or five names ready but can't quite narrow things down. Obviously I prefer the name 'Otis' whether it is a girl or a boy. She disagrees. I am not sure why.
If you want to know Chick's preferences for naming our child you will have to check out her blog.
Got ya.
Okay, I lied earlier. I've had a couple of drinks. But it's still Wednesday, at least for another hour or so. And I also don't want to name my next child Otis. Maybe if we get another cat. I mean, Otis is good for a cat, but not a kid.
Apparently the newest craze is to name children after days of the week. Just ask Nicole Kidman's new daughter Sunday. I was okay with fruit - see Apple, Gwyneth Paltrow's girl. But days of the week start to get disturbing. Just ask Wednesday Addams.
That leads me to a great movie - Black Snake Moan. The movie features Christina Ricci (Wednesday Addams) and Samuel L. Jackson (Bad Mother Fucker). I honestly thought the movie was going to be much more disturbing then it turned out to be. It was actually a pretty good story. Clear your mind and watch it.
Until just a few minutes ago, I never thought about the band name Violent Femmes. And now I am afraid of all women.
You should be too.
