QotD: Middle Name
What's your middle name? Is there a story or history behind it?
My middle name is "Ernest" as in "The Importance of Being." And there actually is a history behind it, thank God. All of the first-born males on my father's side (naturally) have it as their middle name. Why? I don't know. It predates Oscar Wild, that's all I know.

Our great-grandfather was Ernest Amos. (He was a doctor in Victoria, British Columbia, who drove his wife crazy by getting involved in flaky politics. She finally left him and moved in with our grandfather, when he was an adult.) Our grandfather was Victor Ernest, which started the tradition of using Ernest as the middle name.
When are we going to hear from Trizzay, by the way?
Trizzle has been slacking on his blogging lately. Partly because things have calmed down at 123-no aus-FAPPers or other excitement. Hopefully he'll motivate this weekend.
