Guess my first name

[irenetheserene]

[eirene]

I choosen "Irina". Let me know, if my guess was right. ;D
Please!!

Eirene

[Extra Man]

I'll choose the easy one "Irene" ;D

[Melodic Mistress]

Irene... hopefully I'm correct. Now can people guess my name? lol!

~Jessi

[magnus greel]

It's Abdullah, isn't it?

[Soturiprinsessa]

i just voted irene.. not sure if it's that though

[xengab]

I voted for Irene

[piper]

This is a trick question if I ever saw one. If we voted for "Ding Dong" or "Stupid," we get the old boot from the group. Very sneaky Irene!

[Lesa]

Somebody had to vote for it!  I chose Ding Dong, but only out of love.

Jessi, I have no idea what your first name could be.

[irenetheserene]

Aha! I suspected gigs calls me that behind my back. Now you all know! :pat:

I'm going to call her up now and talk since I found her name in the google telephone directory.


Now why are y'll chosing the first selection?

Irene

[eirene]

Mean that, that you solve the riddle? ;D
I´ve not choosen the first option...
But it must be funny, if i got right...

Eirene

[magnus greel]

This better be a secret ballot. No reason.

If I try to guess my own name, do I have to pick from the same set of choices? If so, I'm going for "Gerty" again.

[A1ecto]

It's Bertha isn't it?

[eirene]

I don´t believe, that her name is Bertha. Only cows or horses have such names...! ;D
In every case is it so here in Germany!

Eirene

[Gab On Nutbread]

I wouldn't overlook the possiblity of "Gilda". I'd say some of those other names like "Bertha" was put in there to give a hint.


Gab

[Lesa]

I pick none of the above.

You already voted! And now I have two votes for "Ding Dong!" {must be joxie's additional vote}

Irene

[Lesa]

Well, the 2^nd one was unofficial.

[eirene]

...and which one is it now?!

Eirene

[irenetheserene]

Le,

How did you get Sharpton's quotes. I'm looking for it because I wanna save it. I liked the comment about the discriminated blacks not getting a donkey or something so they rode it.....

Wait till Saturday Night Live gets hold of all this stuff. Are they in reruns? Darn.


Irene

[Lesa]

Quoting it here, so everyone will know what it said after I change it again.

"The issue of government is not to determine who may sleep together in the bedroom, it’s to help those that might not be eating in the kitchen.” ~Rev. Al Sharpton, July 28, 2004 Democratic National Convention

I don't remember where I got it, but here's a site with a copy of that speech: Text of Sharpton address

The one before that was from Bill Clinton's speech Monday night.

Bill said:

John Kerry knows that wisdom and strength are not opposing values.

I love that Sharpton comment you're referring to about the donkey!

Rev. Sharpton said:

It is true that Mr. Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, after which there was a commitment to give 40 acres and a mule. That's where the argument to this day of reparations started. We never got the 40 acres. We went all the way to Herbert Hoover and we never got the 40 acres. We didn't get the mule. So we decided we'd ride this donkey as far as it would take us.

Imagine that, me of all people, quoting a reverend AND a politician in my sig! But they're good quotes!

Irene

I voted for Irina...

[irenetheserene]

I wasn't really expecting anything from his speech but it was like "right on". Tell it like it is brother! Why do we always have to sign up for every dang site we visit. The internet isn't all that user friendly anymore.


I just love his mule one. The one you have I think he repeted that line twice. Once before the applause and then after or he said it a similar way. Too bad I didn't tape the speech.

Irene

[Lesa]

That's weird. It didn't give me the login screen before.   Oh well, try DemocracyNow.org instead.   There's only one mention of a donkey in that speech, so maybe he said it in two different speeches?

[irenetheserene]

I found it gigs. Why did you change your siggy?


Irene

[Lesa]

Because there are so many great quotes,
that I thought I'd keep changing it.

[irenetheserene]

hmmm Irene or Irina.

[Lesa]

Irene?

[irenetheserene]

Irina? ;D

[eirene]

Your first name is really Irina?
Do you know, where the name come from and what he means?!

Eirene
