Does Anyone Know...?

Does anyone know a good, decent man called Ian?

I don't.

Oops.
Still, I never met him.

Now you can ask a searching question if you like.

It just occurred to me this morning when I was walking round the park.
Three Ians I have actively disliked, none I have been keen on.

Oh, Ian Rankin I suppose.
Damn - Ian Hislop too.
But maybe they're both shits if you meet them.

I've known a couple of Ians. They seemed alright to me.

Roberts, on the other hand. I've had a lot of trouble with employers named Robert. Every one of them has been dishonest and conniving.

I seem to have a lot of difficulties with Ben/Benjamins, myself.

I love Roberts, but I don't trust Bobbys. (Bobbies?)

I've never met a Brittany I liked.

Every Marilyn I've ever met has been evil. And I have to agree about the Brittanys.

Doug, now - somehow Dougs always seem to be nice guys.

Walter (Gib) Gibson: Yeah, Nick. Nick's a real name. Nick's your buddy. Nick's the kind of guy you can trust, the kind of guy you can drink a beer with, the kind of guy who doesn't mind if you puke in his car, Nick!

I knew a Ben who was a real smarmy jerk. Can't think of any good ones.

Yeah, Ian McKellen. PLEASE NOTE: if there is anything uncool about Sir Ian McKellen, I don't want to know.

He's in my HOF with Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Christopher Lee. Attention English Royalty: I expect to--eventually--see Hugo Weaving on this list.

My friend believes there are two kinds of names for naming baby girls, Supreme Court Justice names and Stripper names. Brittany is definitely a Stripper name.

I have a stripper name

My sister has the name of a woman beloved by Dante.
My brother has the Anglicised name of a Saint.
Me, I get the name of someone who pops their chewing gum and has badly painted toenails. Thanks.
