ageist? at the Olympic level? like I said, he joins a team full of teen-and-twenty-year-olds. the only person older is one of the ice-dancers. Michele Kwan is a veteran of 21.

I don't want to spoil anyone's congratulations, but wasn't tsuwm's original post supposed to be a pun. The thread was focused on aptronyms, so his use of Eldredge among teenagers was a punny aptronym from the start, right? Not to slight Max, but wasn't he just using the same pun? Or I'm missing something completely . . .

tsuwm gets one point for pun on age.
Max gets one point for pun on weirdness.

Yepski. So does Max get bonus points or negative points for being so darn confusing? No offence intended.

Arguing over points awarded for a pun is like arguing over runs scored on a foul ball.

I see no point in continuing. Must disagree, Max.
I see no con in verbal counter-point, only pros.

How about Dr. I. Needles, dentist (Manhattan, around 28th Street and Second-or-Third Avenue, 1964-plus-or-minus 2)
(leads to a whole subthread of medical aptronyms, probably already in a long-ish list somewhere if anyone wants to chase it down)

Is there such a thing as an inaptronym? {Post-edit: mav, thanks for the answer. } In today's Superbowl, the starting left tackle for the Patriots' offense will be a 305-pound gentleman named Matt Light.
