I'm crushed. I'll have you know I gained three pounds for that shoot and that's a real tan. That's my natural hair color, too.

(Don't mind me. I'm just trying to be witty to make CP's list.)

CP: I like your name. I've always been curious whether ceteris should be pronounced with a /k/ or an /s/ at the beginning. I think generally ceteris paribus is pronounced with a /k/, but in et cetera it's pronounced with a /s/. This makes no sense. What say you?

ps. I alphabetized my list of suggested names for Marsupial's offspring, so ignore TD's scoffs. Ordering lists in informal settings is perfectly normal. Really.
