Hassenfeffer anyone?

I'm with Millie on this one. Though I think it's asking a lot for your bully to be intelligent...
Especially Jeremy. He's not really the sharpest knife in the drawer....the brightest bulb in the room...etc. He seems to have trouble getting beyond just talking about the two of them probably getting married. Come on Jeremy...time to move on to some new material.

Of course, if a bully says something really clever, it's hard to retort. What you want is some measure of balance.

And the ability to freeze time long enough to come up with a good comeback.

Oh, yes, that would be such a handy ability. It's always after the arguement's long over that I usually come up with a witty comeback.
It is a mistake to fancy that horror is associated inextricably with darkness, silence, and solitude. I found it in the glare of midafternoon, in the clangour of a metropolis...

I wish my bullies had been wittier. My name is Princess (yes, shut up), and it took until the seventh grade for someone to realize, "Ha ha, we can call her Prince!" Wow, that's...really taxing the ol' noggin, there. :roll: Though really, it was more the fact that there was such a wealth of other material, where I was concerned... ah well. Still kinda funny.

I suppose the moral of the story is this: Parents, if you're going to name your kids something stupid, go all out. The schoolyard kids (and indeed, the universe at large) will be so baffled by the sheer ostentatiousness of the bad name, they may never find a way to make it worse. It's the only mercy you can give your child. ...well, that or an actually good name, but we all know there's some cases where that's asking for too much.
could it be that she was the sister of the boy in Kansas who loved the girl with the tattered shawl who was the daughter of the maid who had escaped from the pirates?

"Feo" was actually a popular name a long time back. It means "ugly."

mine, a shaker or two may
