And I CANNOT believe I forgot to mention this TRUE story!
I have met IN PERSON (read: not a made up story) a young girl whose last name was Lear. Her parents named her Crystal Shanda. How so very.....clever.....for a STRIPPER maybe! But not for your child's name!

William Lear, who invetned a bunch of stuff including car stereos and Lear Jets, if I remember correctly, named his duaghter Shanda. I did not believe it until I read it in his obituary some years ago in the Washington Post.
Ted -- whose daddy named him Theophilus because "That's the awfulest looking baby I ever saw in my life"

Oh, now see, I like Crystal Waters. I don't know why I "approve" of that for a child's name, but do not approve of Crystal Shanda Lear. I guess because Crystal Waters sounds so "clean"!

Something for the young people, a rave, eagerly attended by the Beats siblings: Rupert, Etta and Viv.
A 'rave' is defined as a gathering of 100 people, at which amplified music ('wholly or predominantly characterised by the emission of a succession of repetitive beats'[!) is played grr, arrgh, petty criminal injustice act ( rant stifled)

Oh, come on Dody, after all if Lord Tavistock allows them to be held in a (previously) quiet corner of Woburn Abbey, they can't be completely bad. Can they? Hmmm?
