[00:30] <elky> hggdh, valorie: i was unable to sign up for hotmail and yahoo mail about a decade ago because of what my surname says when you remove the first and last letters
[00:30] <elky> ok, more than a decade
[00:30] <elky> more like 15 years
[00:31] <Unit193> Oh geez.
[00:31] <elky> ikr!
[00:31] <Flannel> Those decades get big quick
[00:31] <elky> quite
[00:32] <elky> i mean i did sign up and all, but it wasn't legit per their TOS
[00:36] <hggdh> sigh. I have seen much worse names
[00:36] <hggdh> and, frankly, a name is a name
[00:42] <hggdh> for example, my son had a friend in high school called Hang Lo
[00:43] <bazhang> thankfully not past tense
[00:43] <wxl> no, hang is present tense
[00:44] <bazhang> gee really
[00:44] <wxl> :()
[00:47] <hggdh> there was a friend of mine (we worked together for some years) called Dar Busa. It hapens that "Dar" means, in Portuguese, "to give"; Busa as pronounced in US, has a hard S. Which happens, in Portuguese, to mean vagina (low level)
[00:48] <hggdh> and I found another one, at the same company... his last name was Karalius. This happens to sound, again in Portuguese, as penis, plural.
[00:49] <elky> hggdh: yeah it's fairly mild
[00:49] <elky> i've encountered some interesting thai names in systems before
[00:49] <elky> pornphan for example
[00:49] <hggdh> so I wanted to get both in Portugal and Brazil, in a conference, so that I could announce them: "so, now with you, Karalius and Dar Busa!"
[00:50] <wxl> and there's always phuket
[00:50] <hggdh> I as forbidden to do so... pity
[00:50] <hggdh> s/as/s&/
[00:50] <hggdh> ugh. was/
[00:51] <hggdh> anyway, I want to believe Karalius first name was Dick, but I am most certainly wrong
[00:52] <elky> i went to uni with a young lady who's father was actually named richard head
[00:53] <elky> whose*
[00:53] <hggdh> there you go...
[00:54] <hggdh> just today I emailed a viet-american called Phuc
[00:55] <bazhang> I get yelled for chatting in here, perhaps we could go to the other channel
[00:55] <bazhang> plus at
[00:56] <hggdh> bazhang: you are absolutely right
[00:56] <hggdh> I apologise
[03:18] <hggdh> hum.
[03:18] <hggdh>  -- | You have been invited to #fpvmfzi by xsceqqlb
[03:18] <valorie> intriguing
[03:19] <hggdh> but I like my ignorance
[03:19] <valorie> yes, I think it's possible I would decline such an offer
[04:08] <elky> the oftc spambots have been doing that, was bound to happen here eventually
