How do I laugh at a face that's been nothing but trouble to me?

What a great clip. She is one of the best female characters ever to be on TV.

I knew a guy named Akalitus and I asked him what kind of a name it is.

Lithuanian, apparently.

If you;ve got a bunch of syllables that ends in "ian" I assume it's Armenian.

Ending in "polis" I'll assume is Greek.

I heard a story once that some medieval king or something stripped the Jews of their names and they had to buy new ones. The rich ones bought names like "Himmelfarb" and the poor ones could only afford names like "Goldblatt."

Sounded like bull to me.

If an old timey king had stripped me of my name I'd have picked like Kevin Smith and infiltrated!

ndspinelli said...

The "ian" suffix means "son of."

What a cool clip. Is that Carmella in there too?

Since we gave cable the heave ho in our house, air-TV only brings us PBS, NBC, 20 Spanish language channels and METV, whatever that is. Lots of old westerns.

Maybe I was hasty.

I don't know what it means but a lot of people from Vietnam are named Nguyen.

How the hell you get "Wen" out of that is a complete mystery and who the hell is in charge of Aglicizing names, anyway?!

A Google ChromeCast costs $35.

Fucking amazing.

Eric, it's not Anglicizing... it was Frenchifying.

Ah! That helps explain the letters that don't do anything!
