a place with a name

[nibot]

This house needs a name. What should we name it?

• If we were soul-less copycats, we'd call it Fort Awesome.

• someone suggested "wallabee"

• "43 westview" is the street address (boring)

• if we found something with the initials "CZ" I could use one of my neon signs here!

• I want to name a house after Buckminster Fuller (BuckyHouse?) and/or to name one "Ant Farm II" (after Ant Farm, duh), but not this one.

• ...

I want to get a big California flag to hang out front. Oh, sure, Micah and Vijay would protest, but we Californians have a plurality here! I see lots of polyester flags on ebay, but it seems that canvas is more proper.

What is that Israeli word Tobin says they use over there (Israel) for everything, which means "big mess" or confusion?

Well, in hebrew I suppose it would be bah-lah-gahn (funetically). Otherwise, there's plenty of other options. Interesting - eskimos have 40 words for snow, and israelis have a buncha words for "big mess"

Somehow this reminds me to mention that I grew up with a strange understanding for the word "Fiasco." That's what my dad always called a family reunion, specifically the Thanksgiving dinner involving 120 relatives.

It could be said that anytime I was in the company of >12 Ransoms/Frickes something always turned into a bit of a fiasco. I suppose that includes all T-givings and X-mas gatherings at tweedy/Davis. Although, generally the Davis Xmas things weren't as fiascoish as the T-givings.

Not to say that fiascos aren't fun and character-building

I believe the correct term would be Fiascosity...
