Attn MMIX

[Cain]

Shouldn't your name be MMX now?

[MMIX]

Yeah, technically it should, but I thought I would just ride with MMIX to remind me that I lurked here for over four years before I bit the bullet and joined up. So that kinda of makes 2009 special to me so I think I'll stick with it. Plus I pronounce it Emmix which I think sounds better than Mux . . .

[hooplala]

I would argue that you could still pronounce it Emmix.

[Cain]

I always thought of it as Muh-Mix myself.

I just don't think I would feel right about pronouncing it the same way when it is spelled differently. I suffer from homonymophobia . . .

You mean like Mum Icks? Nah, I don't feel particularly comfortable with that. It reminds me that when my kids were little I had this bee in my bonnet about not being called Mum. I seem to recall that I insisted that "I am not a structural relationship, I am an individual" . . .

long story short - most of my kids hate me  . . . but at least they hate me as an individual

You're female? No shit.

How old are your kids?

Not when you're a parent.  Then you have to be God and all his prophets, or at least a reasonable facsimile thereof.  Sure, it's impossible, but so is everything else about raising kids.

[Jasper]

Hang on, I always looked at the name and though, oh, megaman 9.  What does it mean?

[LMNO]

Think Roman Numerals. 

[Jasper]

Oh right, I forgot what M stood for.

Yeah, shit . . .  LOL So do I write like I have balls, wow, that is kind of cool  - I think . . .
Kids are spread through the 20's early 30's

Boy you sure got that right Roger. I envy you being a Mexica Raingod and all, it must be a real help with the whole parenting business . . .

[Dysfunctional Cunt]

I always thought you were a guy MMIX, sorry.  I also never put the roman numeral thing and the name together, so I am complete fail with this.

OMG your kids are grown, how lucky is that?  I have 8 more years before there is daylight in my kid free tunnel!!
