ArchivesRe: Given Names and Nicknames
in reply to a message by Nanaea
Just testin you, Nan. My knees are shot, my barber's forgotten my name, my urologist sends me a case of Scotch at Christmas, but there's nothing wrong with MY memory...yet.
In a nearby post, you mentioned the use of "Shaitan" in the Anagram Names Project. Reminds me of my son's one brief foray into anagrams.
When he was about 12 (early 90's), my wife dragged us along to one of the sappy indoor Holiday Fairs so beloved around here. Literally hundreds of booths and displays overflowing with greenery, trim, tiny lights, and gag-a-maggot spicy potpourri.
She had us in one that featured mantle displays with candles, ribbon, and loose alphabet blocks that spelled out "I LOVE SANTA". I quickly went back to the corridor, but the boy spent a lot of time in there before emerging with a pleasurable smirk on his face.
Puzzled, I went back inside and saw that every such display (at least a dozen) had been changed subtly into "I LOVE SATAN". He and I beat it like hell for the pastry booths.
