Wow, yeah! Twenty seconds gone from some National Weather Service schlemiel's life! All those tax dollars wasted! Mercy, what was I thinking! Forget Clint Eastwood talking to a chair, I'm go into the toilet and talk to a stool.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Geoff,

Well, I suppose you are right. It wouldn't take that long to research the meaning of names. I just couldn't come up with another reason.
There is so much on the Internet about Clint , isn't there? So funny! Loved his hair...rather similar to Quinion's, wouldn't you say? And, like Quinion he is. Heck, he may inspire a word of the year: "eastwooding". We probably will see an OED entry for "eastwooding" before "epicaricacy." The interview was so painful....not only the "ah's" and "umms"...but the bloopers were amazing. For example, it was hilarious that he thought we no longer needed a lawyer in the presidency, but we now need a businessman. Does he realize that Romney is lawyer, too? Oh my. Even Romney's wife said that his time should have been truncated.
