Yeah. Totally. Um. Yeah.

Is it my imagination, or have the ears been photoshopped to make them pointy and elf-like?

However, as one would expect of a "Fresh Baby", (as my five year old calls newborns) very cute nonetheless. Congratulations to the parents. Good work on the touch up to whoever is responsible.

And it would probably have worked, too, except they named him "Rowan." For total "we expect you to turn out normal" camouflage, they should have went with "Kevin" or "Chris."

Really? Good thing my wife didn't know about that when we named our daughter Rowan. That's BEFORE Brooke Shields by the way. I'm such a "cool" fellow, I set the trends prior to them being trends. Which has the unfortunate effect of not really being "cool" by all appearances.

Fortunately, my computer can handle playing Star Wars:Knights of the Old Republic (more or less), so on top of being married and having small children, this "cool" thing really isn't much of a problem in my daily existence.

if you name your kid Galadriel Fairwind Amidala

There is a well-regarded children's book (Newbery Honor winner) called The Great Gilly Hopkins. The main character's real name is... Galadriel! But that's tangential to the story, which is actually quite moving.

Funny real-life story. My aunt (mom's sister) married a man from Ukraine and when they had their first son, there was a debate over what to name him. My aunt wanted to name him Alex. Her husband wanted to name him Boadun (sp?), after a mythical hero from Ukrainian culture. She said, "You can name him Boadun, but I'm going to call him Alex."

Alex it was....

"Fresh baby!"

If it was a girl she'd have been "Willow"

And it would probably have worked, too, except they named him "Rowan."

Well with a last name of "Wood", it was either "Rowan" or "Ash". Seeing as how the poor kid would have a major inferiority complex if he was named after pulp film's best one-handed hero, they went with Rowan.

How - HOW - could anyone have passed up the opportunity to name him Charles Wood?*

*On a related note, Caspar Goodwood is the greatest. literary name. evar. (He's from Portrait of a Lady.)

But just to drag this back around to vaguely on-topic... isn't it kind of weird that the Liberators were adventuring with Thrommel while Belvor sat on the throne, and now they are adventuring with Belvor while Thrommel, umm, doesn't really sit on the throne, but y'know... anyway. Some kind of father/son reveral situation going on here. (contact), was this intentional?

Whoa — good call. Maybe I just grew up around the wrong kind of kids, but I have a feeling a kid with the name "Ash Wood" would have had a hard, hard time on the playground.

And with that, we come full-circle back to the d-ck jokes. Congratulations to all of you.

Joshua-- it wasn't intentional, but it is a pretty neat symmetry.

Hey I go away for awhile and what happens the story sinks to the third page and gamers have actually managed to reproduce! How does that happen by the way? I understand that women have something to do with it, but does this labor bit mean that you have to join a union or something?
