on a lark, i thought i’d look up the last name “hitler” in whitepages.com.
no, that name has not been expunged from civilization. i note john, bob, carole, danny, elizando, gregory, james, tom, wayne, vincent, vera, and on and on.
i must find out what it’s like to grow up saying, such as on a job interview, or when telling some gal you met at a bar, “yes, i’m dan, err… dan hitler. what’s your name?”
Ah well. I kept getting error messages and I thought neither response got through. Instead they both did. File it the Department of Redundency Department.
Nice thunderstorm going on right now, Internet service is rather troublesome at the moment. I suspect all the difficulty is at this end.

I too, am getting an “invalid ping”. At least my pong is still working, and thank God the error does not seem to have been truly fatal.

“What if his first name was Kyle? Or, if a girl, Haile?”
yes, that would be a cross to bear, wouldn’t it. mind, i’ve had both muddy waters and donny quixote at my bike fit workshops this spring. but no hitlers… yet.
What’s funny is that Adolf’s father’s birth name wasn’t Hitler, but Schicklgruber. The father was born illegitimate, and took the surname of his stepfather, Johann Georg (there’s that “Gay-org” pronunciation again!) Hiedler. It was spelled in various ways until a local town clerk put it down permanently as “Hitler.”
The rest, as they say, is history. Somehow, “Adolf Schicklgruber” doesn’t inspire as much dread and fascination, I’d say.
