    I'm 300' asl and it's not that blowy. Early yet, right enough. We're only really open to the East though.

    I just read the article stating it was the 'First' named storm ? I'm in Northern Minnesota and by my estimation we've had at least a half dozen, (anything under six inches of snow is just a nuisance) and it's been an easy winter so far. Only have about a month and a half and the Maple trees will be flowing sap. Time to get the taps ready. Pretty mild today, got up to mid 20's Fahrenheit.

    I've been AWOL. Have not read all 100 pages previous.
    But, am sure there are plenty of "man named otto" bits here.
    So - I'll throw my hat in ring.

    Cheers man.

    Could be worse, your middle name could be "Matt".

    My surname is a variation of the name Jamison. All of my life, people have insisted that I am a Jamison. I got over it about 40 years ago.

    Down here if you gave your name as Otto, they would ask oughta what?

    In Australia he would probably be called "Grotto" (Grot was used as a derogatory word to mean a kid who was messy, dirty, or even just annoying.) or O.T. - "O" is a common letter added to people's name in Australia...(Stevo - Robbo - Danno etc etc) - As his name already ends in O - That simply wouldn't do...so take the O off his name and you get O.T.
    I work with a bloke whos name has been shortened to MD.

    And yeah, I've got a certificate to prove it. Another of my 'good' friend's presented it to me all framed and everything.

    In Australia you would be Rog (Rodge)...or just Roger. (Or something else if you had a body part that set you apart (Tall - fat - red hair - big ears etc etc ) Not sure about America but in Britain and Australia to "Roger" someone is to have sex with them...:"Did you roger her?"
    I female might say "I need a good rogering".

    I'll go with a hillbillyism: "You can call me anything you want, except late for supper."

    Only the Brits can twist Tom into Roger! Writers must have had hard feelings for someone. Oh well, the travails of Life.

    Maybe we should get back to encouraging Otto. You know like in "Airplane".
