According to this list of lesser known holidays [suda.co.uk], Monday, March 7th 2005 is Namesake Day. To celebrate, search out someone with the same name as you, and if that's too hard, try for initials.

Apparently, i am either a famous Australian meteorologist; or i'm a designer and superintendent of chi-chi golf courses such as the one at Pebble Beach.

Who are you?

I'm a kite-flyer of some note in England, and the Stanford trombone player that interrupted the football game with Cal in 1982.
 

I'm a Chicago Cubs player drafted straight out of high school, or I'm an excused juror that was used as grounds for an appeal on a murder case.

My birthday is Middle Name Pride Day. Cool.

Oh, and apparently I share a name with a musician and conductor at the Alcazar Theater in San Francisco in 1905. That or I'm named after a crappy Russian car.

So i guy walks into an automotive repair shop and says, "I'd like a hubcap for my Lada." The mechanic replies, "Yeah, that sounds like a fair trade."

In Response to Teledildonix (#25792):

Sorry about the typo:
So i guy
-i +a

The first time i read your post, my brain mistakenly thought you'd written "czar" instead of "car".

Happy pre-birthday. Happy International Women's Day! Happy New Year of the Cock! Fat Choy!

Looks like I'm the only person with my name who has been spidered by google. I guess I'll have to breed and name one of them after myself.

My initials however seem to make me a industrial technology professor at some community college in Virginia. I have a blog titled for poking sharp things into people.

Phlebotoblog? Staplegunjournal? Lancetville?

I am a Japanese baseball player (read: player of baseball in Japan). Apparently I got traded :(

In Response to Teledildonix (#25792):

Wow, nailed it in one. Heh.

Although being named after a crappy Russian Czar might be more entertaining. "Hello, I'm Nicholas II! Wait, let me guess, you guys are Bolsheviks, right? I always liked you guys..."

In Response to ShutUpEJ (#25799):

I know how to ask Doctor Internet, but there are probably other members here with far more finesse at that sort of skill. I'm an amateur.

And since you mentioned Russian leaders: "The Communists have no need to introduce free love; it has existed almost from time immemorial."

I'm the head coach of Ball State University's women's gymnastics program, and I sometimes play guitar for the zydeco band Maison Bleue.

And apparently Jon and Phillip have just the spider with which you can do this breeding. Oh, sweet Ambiguity.

In Response to Robonun (#25803):

That's such a great name for an institution of learning.

So you really are a "sister" Mary? No relation to a Tim?

All I can claim is to share a name with a player for the Clarke County Eagles girl's basketball team, but my birthday is National Dog Biscuit Day, so that's something I guess.

I share my name with an 1870's Baker from Taunton.

My hungarianified[1] name I share with a painter [brounsantiques.com]

[1] Hungarianified is a fictitious word. It is neither currently nor was it previously a real word. Any similarities it has with words, current or passed, is purely accidental.

In Response to Nagy_Vilmos (#25824):

In the words of Cleo Laine, "He's just my Bill!"

So is "Nagy" said differently in English, or is it the same as in Hungarian?

In Response to jen (#25814):

Well, happy belated birthday, although it's a fortnight past. Eric Burns [websnark.com] would probably offer you something "tasty, tasty", but i think a Baker should make you something more delicious than mere kibble.

In Response to gtyrrell (#25787):

I'm [...] the trombone player that interrupted the football game

So, could i ask you for some embouchure lessons? ;-)

In Response to Dynedain (#25789):

What was your excuse? Too appealing? Couldn't resist.

In Response to themysticalone (#25798):

Traded? What did they get in return? Your Skeksis counterpart?

In Response to Teledildonix (#25831):

Your Skeksis counterpart

?

In Response to tynic (#25833):

Awesome artistry! Drawing, poetry, math, science, sarcasm... your talents are endless, and i enviously wish i had but a fraction of your skills.

?

Because when a Skesis crumbles, his Mystic counterpart vanishes in a sparkly twinkly *kapoof* at the exact same time. That's how i want to go: no muss, no fuss-- like a Jedi Hamster.

In Response to Teledildonix (#25811):

Yep, I really am a sister. I have two siblings. And no relation to a Tim, or a Philip, or the senator who came up with the IRA idea, or anybody vaguely famous.

Since it's no longer the seventh I can't rightly participate in the name-sake game; but since my last name is Farmer, that makes it "my" day today. In a round about, off-handed way I suppose.
