Ms. Loren? Dating yourself, DE. Which makes me wonder about that nooner.
Posted by ogged | Link to this comment | 05-11-05 10:55 PM
The point of the nooner is that she isn't dating herself. Not like some people.
Posted by Matt Weiner | Link to this comment | 05-12-05 9:42 AM
But that's just it: given that she dates herself, I now doubt the nooner.

Actually, I reckon when you're dating yourself nooners are pretty easy to come by.

DE, it's funny when it contains a hint of truth, not when it's all true. (And this after I let "tsk, tsk" slide. Who the hell "tsks" anymore?)
I think young folks think "Sophia Coppolla" before they think "Sophia Loren." I could be wrong.
Posted by ogged | Link to this comment | 05-12-05 10:31 AM
I think Sophia Loren.

I think "Sofia, Bulgaria." But then I'm residing in the weird limbo world between young and old.

I have a friend who says that Sofia is a beautiful city. But it's not pronounced the way the given name is.
Posted by ben wolfson | Link to this comment | 05-12-05 10:39 AM
Color me Sophia Loren. Not unexpected, as I've previously mentioned that I think she and La Jolie are the two most gorgeous women in film EVAR.

I do. I'm bringing it back into fashion, along with "the cat's pyjamas", "twenty-three-skiddoo" and "groovy". Not to mention "zounds".

Here is my opinion.
The following are appropriate spellings: Sofia, Sophie.
The following are inappropriate spellings: Sophia, Sofie.

Here is my opinion.
You're welcome to an opinion, but unless you intend to change your name, you don't get to choose the spelling.
Otherwise, we're all gonna start spelling your name as "Ghoti".
Posted by DominEditrix | Link to this comment | 05-12-05 1:58 PM
Or "Potoooooooo".
Posted by Standpipe Bridgeplate | Link to this comment | 05-12-05 2:00 PM
but unless you intend to change your name, you don't get to choose the spelling.
Why do you interpret my opining as being addressed to the named, and not the givers of names? Is it because you're afraid of the truth?

DE, here's what we say when young Ben gets above his station.
Posted by Matt Weiner | Link to this comment | 05-12-05 2:06 PM
(In fact has slight girl-crush on Sophia Bush.)
And meant to tell Ogged - I had "Persian cucumber" for lunch.
Posted by ac | Link to this comment | 05-12-05 2:06 PM
carp. "Ideas above his station."
ac, I hope the quotation marks are redundant.
Posted by Matt Weiner | Link to this comment | 05-12-05 2:07 PM
I thought we said this?
Posted by ben wolfson | Link to this comment | 05-12-05 2:08 PM
Yes, what is the deal with those quote marks, ac? You're not usually prone to such oversharing.
And 41 is what we say.
Posted by ogged | Link to this comment | 05-12-05 2:09 PM
No, 41 is when he's right, 38 is when he's wrong.
Posted by Matt Weiner | Link to this comment | 05-12-05 2:13 PM
Fair enough. Any excuse to maintain that I'm hung like a horse (though in context the implication is that one is not hung like a horse).
Posted by ogged | Link to this comment | 05-12-05 2:14 PM
Guess we can ask ac. (Actually my guess is that she literally had Persian cucumber for lunch.)
Posted by Matt Weiner | Link to this comment | 05-12-05 2:16 PM
It was Persian cucumber salad--actual cucumbers--the quotation marks were because I wasn't sure what was so Persian about the cucumber.

What Ben hasn't mentioned is that he intends to name all of his children "Ben", much in the manner of George Foreman. Except not "George". Spelling variants may include: Bben, Benn, Bhen, Pben, Cholmondeleben and Bennyandthejets.
All of his sons will want to marry women named Jennifer, Gennifer, Gweniffer, Genevre or Sopfhia [there's one iconoclast in every family..]
Posted by DominEditrix | Link to this comment | 05-12-05 4:46 PM
Genevre
No longer available in the US, I'm afraid.
Any son of mine who marries a woman named "Gennifer" (or a man named "Gennifer") is out of the family!

It was there. It was almost certainly purposeful.

I'm compelled to point out that DE mentioned "Genevre," but Wolfson's link is about "Genever."
