It's surprising just how many names begin with the letter J, given how uncommon the letter is in the language generally, and how new it is in the English language when compared to other letters. Some of it, I think--perhaps even much of it--is because of old Hebraic influences, which originated many enormously popular J names through the letter Y, such as Josh, Jesus (which is really just a corruption of Josh), James, John, Joel, Joseph, Jack, and of course the classic corny names Jeremiah and Jedediah! And that's just on the male side.

I for one have been perfectly happy to tell people that I am named after the tree.

Chickens.

I don't know why. They just bring me this sense of calm even when I'm particularly angry at certain issues.

And that feeling is awesome. :D

I love Natalie Shau.  Absolutely brilliant artist.  I'd love to own some of her work someday.  If I could ever afford it.  :/

Josh, for some reason that picture reminded me of the "Big Brother is Watching" poster.

Win.  Epic win.  Chickens are the sheeeeeit, which reminds me to remind y'all that our beloved Apple went broody AGAIN and we used it as our excuse to get 2 more babies, Mrs. Popo and The Professor.  here's Apple hanging out with Mrs. Popo.





And here's our "Queen" Sweet Beatrice Russell.

Haha, hadn't thought about wife, but yea that would be the Popo where it comes from.  She's black with a white under-belly.  She also tells no lies! 8)

I always seem to read your chicken posts when I'm caught in the midst of performing an abomination upon poultrykind. When you posted those pictures the other day, I was boiling chicken eggs. When you posted your most recent comment, I was eating chicken flesh from my over-greased tom kha soup. And now as I write this I'm boiling more eggs!

"Hey, Josh, wanna see my new chicken pictures?"
"Oh, sure, Shee, let me just step away from my chicken pot pie..."

Ah...the realities of the food chain make life a lot more interesting for those at the top, and do tend to have a rich complicating effect on philosophy!

And let's not forget that movie by Roland Emmerich. You know, the one that takes place on today of all days. You know which one I'm talking about.
