You have no idea how frustrating it is to have a really, really good one and not be able to tell it.

The closest that I can get to rendering it would be "Peace Cheerless"

Yeah, the person was depressed.

From the news this week, a story on All Things Considered, had a interview with a spacesuit engineer at NASA named Joe Kosmo. Seriously. I love it!

Joe Kosmo's biography

The story from NPR.

Quote:

Perhaps no person has borne longer witness to the arc of NASA as an institution than spacesuit engineer Joe Kosmo. For the past 48 years, Kosmo has been at the heart of the organization, designing spacesuits for Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and the space shuttle astronauts.

The Golden Era

"Well, there were a lot of fun days," Kosmo says. "We were a lot younger, and times were different. Maybe the level of bureaucracy wasn't so high."

Kosmo says that it is instructive to remember that almost all of the first astronauts were test pilots and fighter jocks of the most swaggering sort. They infused the NASA culture with a confidence about taking chances; the prospect that their next flight could be their last was already familiar.

In STL, Dr. Richard Head is a neurologist.

But my brother-in-law says he is a nice enough guy.

I feel sorry for Batman villains. Doomed from the start by their parent's naming choices.

Dr Needle...my GP for quite a while, but so popular it became impossible to get an appointment with her.

I used to have a doctor named Allcock. Not sure if he lived up to his name...

Did he have a cranial scar from his forehead back?
Or was he a urologist?

The gyno who delivered my first baby was Dr. Harsh. Actually she was quite a nice lady.

The gyno who delivered ME was Dr. Pfister. I didn't realize how funny that was until very recently when the topic came up and my dear husband started laughing about it. Dirty minded bastard.

My first Latin teacher was Mr. Cave. Cave means "beware" in Latin.
My next Latin teacher was Mrs. Payne.
My Computer Science teacher was Mr. Stern.
