Sorry to anyone who doesn't want to see my pregnant belly, but this is Aeschylus's favorite thing to do. Lie on HIS baby and then they poke at each other. Hilarious :-)

Yes, that is hot sauce still left out from the last time I had Chinese and a box of mint cookies... :-( I'm not the world's greatest house-keeper, either.

Cute. Not to sound dumb but how do you say his name?

Okay, get ready to get your geek socks blown off ;-)

Aeschylus is the father of Greek tragedy :-) You pronounce it i?sk?l?s .

Here's a .wav file of how to pronounce it: https://mw4.m-w.com/cgi-bin/audio.pl?bixaes02.wav=Aeschylus

The others from his litter who I have are Sophocles (another Greek playwright) and Clytemnestra (who murdered her husband Agamemnon--because he murdered their daughter Iphigenia as a sacrifice to win the Trojan War). One day the vet actually asked me, "Why did you name your cat after a woman in Greek myth who murdered her husband?" and I had to explain the WHOLE thing.

Basically, they were three out of a litter of seven who got dropped at a shelter where I worked, so I took them home... My other pets have less complex names.

I'm also the geek who told you that your dad was right about "sup" being short for supper... It's from Shakespeare's time. So, the next time you Fb chat with your dad, you should let him know he was right :-)

LOL. I have a crazy hot sauce collection. This whole pregnancy/heartburn thing has made that difficult, too :-) I wish Ass-Kickin Hot Sauce would hire me as a spokespoet ;-)

My BIL sounds much like you. My hot sauce infatuation has been mostly fueled by the pregnancy. Heartburn be damned! My BIL though, he found some habanero sauce he adores and had to find the importer and got a case! He has a serious collection. My love is mostly for just Sriracha and Tabasco!
