Hmm, and what's in a name?

20 Questions to a Better Family
Your score as a human being is 68.

This makes you like The Connors (as in Roseanne, not Sarah).

The best thing about your family is the way they pull together in times of crisis. The worst thing is the way they tear each other down in times of peace. If you weren't insulting and harrassing your brothers and sisters -- and getting insulted and harrassed by your parents -- you'd feel adrift in a sea of ennui, complacence and self-esteem. Actually, you have a pretty good opinion of yourself from knowing what you've come from and gone through.

Not too bad. And John Goodman is cool.

Who he heck thought this up? And who's next? The Dallas Cowboys of Irving Arlington? The Detroit Pistons of Auburn Hills? The Washington Redskins of Hyattsville? The Buffalo Bills of Orchard Park?

Point well taken. However, I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that it's Landover, not Hyattsville...

I thought it was Landover, but Microsoft MapPoint said Hyattsville.

And you were right, and they were wrong, proving that the proper response IS "Just ask Joe!"

So who the heck is Sarah Connor?

The heroine in the "Terminator" movies.

And who's next? The Dallas Cowboys of Irving Arlington?

Why not? We're the ones being taxed to build their new stadium (grumble, bitch).

"The Los Angeles Angels..." - isn't that kind of redundant, even before considering the issue of their actual location?

[gridlockjoe.livejournal.com]

When the team was formed in 1960, they were called the Los Angeles Angels, because of the play on words (and because LA calls itself the "City of Angels"). They moved to Anaheim in 1966 and became the California Angels, and became the Anaheim Angels in 1997.

When Los Angeles was founded, its name was El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciúncula. That would not fit on the uniforms...
