I just want to say that I think Elaine, Ed and there soon to be daughter Rainbow are all wonderful people. Also, I think not giving your child a last name is a bold and beautiful thing.

[/ QUOTE ]

shes not giving her child a last name ? lol ed miller should cut his testicles off ..bcause they're useless...

[/ QUOTE ]

The way Ed explained it was that both he and Elaine felt that it would be unfair for their child to be forced to have one of their names like some kind of slave, yet at the sametime, they didnt feel morally comfortable with creating a different last name for her, so they plan to name her rainbow, which they hope will inspire her to raise for the sky, and then when she is able to read and write they are going to allow her the freedom to choose her own last name. This seemed like a pretty decent thing to do, and I imagine her friends will be envious.

Actually, and I hope I am not over stepping any bounds, but Elaine and Ed initially didnt even feel comfortable giving their child a first name. Ed wanted to leave her nameless and Elaine suggested a symbol, but then Ed convinced her that a symbol is not much different than a name and silly. Also, legally you are required to give your child a word or a symbol by which the government can recognize the child on its birth certificate. Ed joked that they would just put down its Social Security Number but this brought Elaine to tears because her family is part Jew and some of them burned up in the Holocaust. So they eventually compromised on Rainbow for a girl, and Firefly for a boy.

Edit: Ed just Imed me and he wants to clarify that it is rainbow, not Rainbow.

Is this Rainbow as in "Pot at the end of the..." or as in "The flop is..." ??

I bet they're kicking themselves for not thinking of the name first, it would work on multiple levels!

Or as in Rainbow Coalition??

But "Rainbow Flop" does have a nice ring to it as a name if the kid becomes a card player.

What I can’t figure out, is how can someone so bright and prolific, end up with such a ditz. The only logical explanation is that our main man Ed is into some “kinky” or “dominatrics” stuff.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's newhizzle syndrome at work. It goes like this:

- Geeky guy reaches adulthood knowing only the pleasures of Ms. Fist.
- Geeky guy discovers poker and makes some money.
- Freaky woman sniffs money.
- Newly rich geek sniffs poontang.
- Geek and freak start to speak and hilarity ensues.

BTW, as a quick correction to Elaine's blog, it *isn't* illegal to have sex with animals in the state of Washington. Washington is one of seventeen states where it's completely legal to hump a horse in the USA.

I thought you might like to know that.
