epitome of incomprehensibility That sounds like a second cousin of Benedict Cumberbatch!

Now I want some British-sounding dream names. I haven't had any lately, not that I remember, but my half_asleep_thoughts gave my grandmother a fake Polish surname. Kuwarnowska isn't an actual name, I looked it up, but the w's were pronounced Polishly (ku-var-NOV-ska) and the -ska ending is appropriately feminine.

And most lately I encountered the Zaplinksky couple, who went on a date for three and a half years (how was "date" defined? my half_asleep_thoughts didn't tell me). Curious, I looked up the name, and there was a Henry Zaplinsky in the 1940 U.S. census, born in Poland "abt 1881." 		240830

Poor neglected Elizabeth Stasko is a professor in Ontario. She looks like an English teacher, grey-haired and soft and round, but she's doing something highly scientific and technical that I wouldn't understand.

Marcel Bacon isn't a person but a restaurant in Montreal. It's French. There is bacon. The exterior has a signature art style, not quite as slapdash as that of Patty Slaps and not quite as polished as La Belle et Le Boeuf. Perhaps with a homage to the creepier art of Francis Bacon for Halloween.

Follecio Collano is an American wrestler with a Spanish background but an Italian stage name. He did the professional wrestling circuit for a while before real injuries caused him to go into graphic design. He hasn't found riches or fame, but he's content, mostly.

Gabriel Lightman manages a truck stop in Calgary. He sees all sorts. Tolerant of various weirdnesses, he nevertheless dislikes his own fondness for fluorescent-coloured slushie drinks. It's childish, he thinks. He's almost fifty.

Mary Rothstein is a painter from the U.K. She lives in Canada now but won't tell me where.

Kate Barker would think it funny if I called her a dog-walker, but she's really another British painter. She's stayed in and around Coventry most of her life.

Goddess Barnelle is a singer and composer from Fiji, mixing traditional and contemporary music styles.

That's all I've got for now!) 		241023
