Tex Gertrude Igor Issabel (Izzy for short) Agatha Herbert and Martha (one of the math teachers' name) (If your name appears on this list my condolences.) May I suggest to anyone getting a new vax... carpetvax thumbvax teavax incomevax excizevax etc... I know those were pretty weak, but what the heck. How 'bout "vax the knife"? No? How about: candlevax floorvax earvax beesvax Johnsonvax etc... These even sound like you have a slight German accent if you say them right. I hope I've help someone come up with something. (But I doubt I have.) Ryan
