Yeah I doubt it too. I don’t think there is anything wrong with it, but I remember how cruel young kids can be about stuff like that at a certain age. Any perceived creative difference in the wrong environment can be used against you for years. I can imagine little Luca telling all the kids proudly what his name…

You could call them absurd and they'd absolutely take that as a compliment. We all know their son is going to be a conservative banker in retaliation.

Every last identity stealing, never gets in trouble for anything one of you.

what happens in Chrono Trigger? (By the way I looked that up as Chronic Trigger—- for some reason I assumed it was a weed game)

I know your right, he’d probably be totally cool, and he’d definitely say that.

Yeah definitely, that’s why I thought it was clever. I kind of liked the idea of the priomordial last universal common ancestor going undercover as a small human child to live amongst us in modern times observing the evolution of all of it’s progeny.

Oh yeah, no, just the explanation or meaning. We have a friend whose kid has the same name and spelling. Unless I wanted to be accurate and capitalize the acronym.

Oh no! Are you my little sister?

Isn't it just

As long as you don't sing it over the loud speaker at the halftime of my last highschool lacrosse game, its fine :)

I totally understand. My real life name is a Barry Manilow song.

So basically the only people they wouldn't be copping it from are evolutionary biologists then.

We’re in the same, non-geographically defined boat. After the campfire I was thinking getting a few people together for a night drive, smoking cigarettes and listening to Nirvana Unplugged and Kid A on repeat. We might stop at a Wafflehouse at some point for coffee. There is an extra seat, if you’d like to come along.

I know what it is. I’ve always secretly suspected that Barack Obama smells really, really frickin’ good. Just like a naturally calming, light kind of scent like baby powder and honey, with a faint note of clove for example.

I really want to name my kid Luca ( Last Universal Common Ancestor of course) if I ever had one, but my partner thinks that’s lame. Plus they might get picked on by kids at school if they had to explain the meaning.

Where I live (in perpetual severe drought), it would save water though, and also dish soap . If you were going to use the paper towel as a napkin anyways, I think it doesn’t make any difference if you used it as a plate first? Especially if you compost too.

This is actually really important information.

Hillary has been a LGTBIQ advocate for decades?

Me : “come on black, show the internet what a big boy you are”

Sorry just saw the second part to your story down thread. I wish we lived close so I could have ten beers with you. This is almost exactly what happened in my situation, and exactly how I responded. I think the worst part was absolutely how crazy I felt, being told my intuition was wrong and trying hard to be cool and…
