Yeah, yeah, I know the Holidays are 3 months behind us (or 9 months in front of us ) but these are some holiday guests I announced on my other forum, last year, so I am being lazy tonight and repeating them.....

Quitely entering the Holiday Ball is Mr. Len Knight and his son Cy Len Knight

Not so quietly entering the Holiday Ball is Ms. Jean Gall Belles

Please pucker up for the newest arrival to the Holiday Ball, Miss Ell Tow

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"

There was a girl in grade school named Crystal Waters.

I wonder if she married Johnny Creek?

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)

Back to the Musicians' Ball:
Introducing Clavy and Arpsy Chord, and their daughter Tetra
