.Some time ago, prepregnancy, I suggested the name Bloodstone would be wicked cool should we ever have another son. In reply to this, my loyal readers suggested other rock-based names, including Bauxite, Shale, Fool's Gold, Rutilated Quartz, Hematite, Lapis Lazuli, Tourmaline, Onyx, Moonstone, Gilsonite, Asphaltum, Uintahite, Topaz, Galena, Slate, Mica, Beryl, Calomel, Gabbro, Euclase, Kaolin, Malachite, Mercury, and Silver.
Oh, but I can do better than you all. And it will work for a girl or a boy:
GYPSUM.
Ha ha!
Hohoho!
HeeheeHEHEHEHEEEE!
HA hA!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAAAA!!!!
Phew.
I am awesome.
That picture looks like fried potatoes all stuck together.
ReplyDeleteIf you were to name them Gypsum, any time they wronged someone, that someone could say, "I've been gypped!"

ReplyDeleteMy favorite part is how it's a tongue twister. Not even *I* can say it right!
Who suggested Beryl? It's a girl's name.
ReplyDeleteBloodstone. I think that's my birthstone, or some odd derivative (sp?) of it.
ReplyDeleteThat's just plain mean...
ReplyDeleteI've always liked the word anthricite.
ReplyDeleteSomehow, though, I don't think you'll use it.

ReplyDeleteAnthricite....
It's so easy to....misspell....
I can't even think it right.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty awesome. Kudos to you.
