But Lassie was a girl.

(God I hated that show)

Didn't you ever hear the story about when the "actor" came down with a rather unfortunate rash, and they had to get him a toupee so he wouldn't be so spectacularly outed?

har har,

I like Spanish names, you can throw in a gals handle without handicappering your kid. Unlike a boy-dawg named Lassie.

BTW I herd recently that Jean Shepherd was the inspiration behind a Boy Named Sue, evidently Shel Silverstein(?) was a friend.

This thread kinda looking shaky.

Oh I have a couple girls names lined up as well.

Anyway think of the Spanish, they're all Jose Maria. Just backwards.

Yeah, the ultimate peace keepers. World Peace Through Superior Firepower. As they say. I like it.

And my firstborn shall have a name like a French king. Or a Neapolitan one. Or a tsar, really.

Or, just let the IDF carry on doing the job. Seems a lot simpler: they have the kit on the ground, much more effective troups than any bar perhaps the UK (and possibly the US) and the determination and incentive to succeed - why not just mandate Israel with the task?

Oh - that would be too easy. And the Islamists would get crushed. So obviously that isn't the solution.
