I work for a company that is filled with renamed people. While some use the obnoxious spellings -- Brandee, Cinde, or Stacia, what's even funnier is the faux-British accent set of fashionistas. You know, the ones named Chanté, Kendall or Strawberry (yes, there's a Strawberry -- I've always suspected her parents were either hippies or migrant workers working their way up the California coast).

I always want to yell through the phone (or on the elevator), "Honey, what's your real name? Bobbie Sue? Where ya from, Nebraska? Come on, you can 'fess up to us all!"

Grrrr.

Yes, Aaron. But I think the way the rest of us would put it is, "Thank goodness there's only one of you."

There could never be another you, Aaron!

At least there's only one of me.

Scott: As long as you give peas a chance, that's fine with Miss Lawrence.

Like Kim, I have no patience for parents who burden their kids with ridiculous spellings of ordinary names, but I have perhaps even less for people who are out of their teens who change the spelling of their own names in order to appear "different" or "exotic".

Ans there's a Xhot out there, confusing me.

I prefer whirled peas to plain old peas, Miss Lawrence.

Do NOT confuse me with the FACTS!!!

But she's Jodie. With an e! Little vowel = big difference!

Goddamnit, now listen here! There is but one Jodi...

Jodi Foster

:D

Did anyone see the Star Trek movie where the shape shifter turned into Captain Kirk? I'm getting deva vu all over again.

Sure! I'm already enraptured with one Jodi, so TWO Jodi's should let me achive a zen-like bliss.

Thomas: What a fantastic serve. Stick around. I need you on the team, babycakes.

Jodi (this jodiverse hostess), if you're willing to give peas a chance, then perhaps you might want to visualize whirrled peas.

Kim, with all the TomTom's and DonDon's maybe you don't feel faint. Perhaps you merely feel feigned.

Homonymns; the devil's volleyball.

Kim, you just made me laugh. Knock it off! You know that's not permitted.

TomTom, DonDon, and everyone else, including The Other Jodi -- I'm only willing to give peas a chance. Let's just get that much straight, OK? Thank you.

I think I feel faint.

Give piece a chance?

Ye Gods! There's another Thomas here!!

Don and Don, not all the twins on Gilligan's Island were evil. You're thinking of the people on Bizzaro's planet. They weren't evil, really; Just very very different.

Jodi (corn-dog loving Jodi), this means you too! No evil Jodi's! You hear me?!?

Can't we all just give peace a chance?

Maybe we could both be the evil ones in the same cell of the permutations.

Whoopee!

I see you visited me a couple of weeks back. I like your writing style! Very witty and interesting. You can also check out tornwideopen.blogspot.com. That's my other site, a little bit more personal, but not much.
Take care!

i hope in this scenario i get to be the evil twin

This is getting to be too much to take in a single day.

First I find out that I'm not the only Don in the jodiverse. Now I find out there's more than one jodiverse.

Things are really spinning out of control for me. I'm wondering how many places I'll now have to specify what had always been my given name. Will I have to go through the rigamarole of legally changing my name? Is that other one my evil twin? Could I be his evil twin?

Life has suddenly become soooo confusing.

Hello. This Thomas, from Michigan. I'm here because the other Jodi said you were cool. I see you are. Nice site. I'm sure I'll be sifting through your archives for the naughty parts soon enough.

Until then, may your site prosper and grow!
