If you have irritable bowel syndrome, you may have fructose intolerance instead!

Hmm. Either Teresa re-friended me, or Facebook decided to add her back on my list. Strange! I *so* want to forward the poo fact below to a couple of people, but it wouldn't be appropriate in the case of one person whose brother apparently just died or something. Still... must... resist... UGH! (I hate that, haha)

Facebook quiz taken from Darren:

How Sexy is my Name?
Name: Leslie Ng
Sexiness Score: 4.25/10 (Not that sexy!)
As Sexy As: Miley Cyrus
(Uh, thanks...)


Poo nugget for Friday, October 23: Soda Poop - Fructose intolerance is a condition characterized by abdominal cramping and diarrhea, which is caused by deficiency of the enzyme that breaks down fructose. Symptoms range from mild to severe, and typically occur after consuming products high in fructose. (fruit juices, soda, etc.) Some patients go months to years being misdiagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome until the fructose intolerance diagnosis is made with a special breath test.

If you're THAT stupid with grammar and status reposts, I'll block you!

I've unfriended / blocked Brian W. since he's changed profile pages, and I'm too lazy to add the new one, haha. He had a lot of grammar / spelling / punctuation issues AND reposted his status a LOT (thus clogging up my news feed), but he did help find a missing person recently...

Facebook quizzes taken from Leigh and Kaitlin:

Leslie completed the quiz "What should your parents have named you?" with the result Cody. Okay name for girls and boys. You should have been named this because you love sports!!!! (Actually, Cody is NOT an okay name for girls! NO WAY!)

Leslie completed the quiz "What type of Love are you?" with the result Eros. Eros is passionate, physical, lustful love - the kind that gives you butterflies in your stomach and a tingling in certain other places. Romantic love that has tremendous passion, physical longing, deep intensity, and intimacy. (WTF?!)

Xing, Yaqui, Yule, and Zachary

Off to Coquitlam soon-ish... yay for sleepovers with Billie! I will take the West Coast Express for the first time, too....

This is from What Not to Name Your Baby by Joe Borgenicht.

X

Xing (zhing) - A neutral name. From a popular Chinese surname meaning "born of women." A punchline. The child will most likely crave cream-filled, frosted snack cakes.

Xion (ZIE-on) - Underground dance club and headquarters for humanity in the future.


Y

Yanni: Greek form of John. One who plays woodwind instruments and sports long, chemically curled hair.

Yaqui (YAH-kee) - Not good. Nicknames will include "yucky," "icky," and "sticky." Most likely a nose picker. Also, a fine Japanese dish.

Yeager (YAY-ger) - Slang for "time to get drunk." Popular in bars and fraternities.

Yoder: The New England pronunciation for Yoda, the ancient and revered Jedi master.

Yogi: A person of the Yoga persuasion. Also, overweight from eating too many peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Smarter than the average bear.

Yule: A gaudily-decorated chunk of dead tree burned during the Christmas holiday. Families with the surnames Log or Tide should avoid this name entirely.


Z

Zachary / Zack: All variations of "wacky" will be used to describe this child. Toward puberty, it will take on a meaning other than "silly."

Zann: Street slang for a prescription anti-anxiety drug. This child will be afraid of nearly everything.

Zebediah: Child will be plagued by a big ego over the literal definition of his name ("God's gift"), but confounded by a low self-esteem over the fact that nobody else knows what it means.

Zebulon: In the Bible, a son of Jacob and Leah. He was the forebear of one of the tribes of Israel. A planet within the fourth Centauri nebula.

Zed: The sodomy-enthralled pawn shop owner from the Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction. The child will most likely have a proclivity for choppers (as opposed to motorcycles), and is likely to associate with dirty cops.

Zeeman: Uh-huh. You said "Zeeman."

Zeke: Early English form of "search." "Zeke, and you shall find."

Zelig: Depression-era man made famous for his chameleon abilities to become like those he is with. Exception to the rule: If Orwell's prophecy comes true, name away.

Zephyr: The west wind. A fart, as in "Did you rip that Zephyr?"

Zeppelin: From the famous musicians of Led Zeppelin. A large, rigid blimp filled with hot air.

Zeus: Greek god of the heavens. Ruler and most powerful of the Olympians. A name better used for large guard dogs.

Ziggy: A bald, bulbous-headed cartoon character with self-esteem issues. A pot-smoking member of the reggae genre of music.

Zindel: A failed blend of purple grape overshadowed and beaten to market by its less Jewish cousin.

Zippie: Prone to rapid-fire flatulence. Often called a pinhead.
