Slight buyer's remorse on username change; didn't quite think those initials through
So if you're ever tempted to address me in an abbreviated format, I'd be grateful if you'd go with BoMo. Granted, this could be an abbreviation for bowel movement, too, but I've never heard it so used. Alternately, just call me John (and no snickering out there! It's merely coincidental that I was born in a toilet, named John, and chose a screenname with the initials BM. And it isn't the least bit funny! So there!) as it's my real name, as I've never hidden.

Also, if I'm going to be named after my cat, I should have gone with The Fluffy Assassin. Not that she ever gets the chance to assassinate anything, being a totally indoor cat, but in her heart she is a savage killer. Until that is she confronts anything larger than, say, a mote of dust, in which case she runs away and hides. Girl after my own heart.:P

1. It could be worse...
A "Bachelor's of Science" degree's initials are "B.S."

Not exactly the letters people want after their names, so somebody put in a "C" after the "S". "BSC". Whatever "C" means, I don't know, but I think it's pronounced silently...

3. Yeah, whatever happened to that guy? I always thought it was touching the way he honored Peter
Ustinov. Or was that honoring the way he touched Peter Ueberroth? I just don't know.

8. True story:
When my husband was a boy, his mother referred to a poop as "a B.M." She had a slight Southern accent, so he always thought she was saying "beam," as in "Did you make a beam?" ... Ouch!
