    But the guy who is in charge of new student orientation at my daughter's school is new this year. His name is Mr. Newcomber.

    There was an art prof at my last college named Louis A. Stoner. Turn that period to a comma and move it a little left, and it would be true.

    And for decades before I got there, the swim coach at my town's high school was named Art Fish, thus was listed in programs and rosters thusly

    Coach: A. Fish​

    Alternately, you could just drop a space between the u and i.

    There's a multi-purpose ballpark near where I grew up called Stoner Field. And, in the wee hours of Saturday and Sunday mornings, that's exactly what it became.

    That's a winning name! See also: Finn or Gill

    Who said time travel isn't possible.

    Is Greta Thunberg a time traveler ‘here to save us’ from climate emergency’? 120-year-old photo sparks flood of conspiracy theories

    Speaking of Conspiracy Theories, that up-tight kid with the pick-axe looks like Devin Nunes (or at least has the same haircut)

    Shutter speeds were different back then. While the kids sat still for the picture, the dog moved its head and, as a result, its face was blurred out.

    Oh... Wait... You weren't being serious and were making a joke? awkward. ;)

    Back then, most dogs were faceless; they only evolved to having cute faces when they discovered they could rule the internet that way.

    And Ringo was his name-o.

    They look like a fun handful. Look like they're born to run. Or maybe fly with those fruit bat ears.

    They're all "rescued" rabbit hunting dogs from Spain...passports and all. After hunting season is over they are either killed or abandoned [bastards]. Daughter is an RN and an active member of an animal rescue group. Please don't ask me how much it costs to have them flown here! :cry:

    Ps...pics are from Arizona.

    I won't ask then. But good on yer.
    One of the names they're given from the Spanish island groups is Ibizan hound.
    Ringo was a rescue dog. Saw him on the interwebby and said he's ours, jumped in the car for an hours drive...and he was.
    Mrs Scouse had his DNA done. Ausie Shep. Border Collie and Golden for the most part. Lotta energy, groan. Not a mean bone in his 80# body.
    Arizona. No shit. :rolleyes:
