Girl. And...I thought sure I mentioned it here, but I can't find an earlier thread. Err...

Anyway, if this conversation continues, it should be elsewhere. I'll definitely make a thread in Everything Else when the baby is born.

I totally got the Hogfather reference, and I haven't even read the book.

I made the assumption that it was a reference to his coming child.

I'm not arguing the linguistic similarity, just perhaps that it's not enough to get people's attention at it's cleverness. It had to be explained, thus it falls short.

You get kudos for a literary and a fantasy reference though.

Phooey, I say. He earns extra points for a name that I understood and you didn't.
