I know a Lam Dao in Oklahoma.
"Coragyps" is the genus of the black vulture - I had a nickname to do with vultures back in high school. There is also a roost of turkey vultures across the street from my house. I would have used their Linnaean name, but it's "Cathartes", and that sounds like some sort of patent-medicine laxative. Enough people think I'm full of s*** already without that.....

I watched Newhart, too, but a slightly earlier version. Can you say Suzanne Pleshette?

The Mysterious Crashfrog
It has no meaning whatsoever. I just liked the sound of it.
Sometimes names come to me in the seconds between dreaming and waking up. Once I woke up with a name literally being shouted in my head: "Chet Smooth".
I can't explain it.

Re: The Mysterious Crashfrog

I knew a guy in college who decided that, since girls only went for guys with severe emotional problems, he was going to develop a severe emotional problem. Namely, he was going to refer to himself in the third person. But not by his name... rather by the name of his alter-ego, Rick Smooth.
He just went around saying stuff like, "Rick Smooth is ready for dinner, how about you guys?"

Ah yes, the personal and professional issues of Dr Robert Hartley and his lovely wife Emily.
Mr Carlin was my fav character on that show. Did you know Lorenzo Music was one of the producers?

Unfortunately I was more the "Button Down Mind" generation.
Loved his series "Frontier CPA".

Eliza Dushku
I had suspected that for quite some time now, but I lacked enough evidence to expose you as the real Eliza Dushku...you know how conspiracy theories work, as soon as I'd think I had the required proof, doubt would loom and I Would begin suspecting maybe you were Dame Edna instead.

Re: Eliza Dushku
Yeah, I know how it is. I spent a few weeks in the late nineties thinking I was Bea Arthur.

Re: Eliza Dushku
I was the Dutchess of Parfait one Friday night in the mid '80's, is about all. It ended when I found out the gown I was wearing actually belonged to the arresting officer.

Now hey - that's just nasty. You evil little critter.
Honestly though, cor blimey - I think I understand your fascination with the Dushku woman now. After googling the stunner.
(BTW. Shall I delete that now you've seen it? I realised you might no like it)

Yaro is japanese as far as I know.
It can mean several things:
Man, in the neutral sense like "Hey man, whats up"
If said rudely it can mean something akin to "bastard"
It can also simply mean "you"
EDIT:
coincedently, it sounds kinda like Fedora Core 2, Yarrow. My current OS of choice
