names of power
May. 17th, 2012 06:43 amI came across a really cool first name this morning. I was at the big-box store, waiting to pay for two bags of potting soil when I noticed a whiteboard hanging on the wall behind the cashier, listing the place's top five employees of the month.
One of them was called Theron.
Most people will probably think of actress Charlize Theron, but, for old foggies like me, who in their early years got their steady diet of F/SF thru the newspaper's daily comic strips, it'll remind them of the mentor of Mandrake the Magician.
"Who?"
Thanks, kids, for making me feel old.
Now you get off my lawn.
