Do you ever get creeped out by a guy with a severe pig fetish embodying an online character excessively asking you questions?

(I like this without any commas)

If it was only me that he asked an excessive amount of questions to, then it would be creepy. And he knows my feelings about the whole pig thing.

I was going to suggest Malfoy, or I can't remember the Ferret's name from that book Inkheart. Gwin, I think it was. That'd be supercool.

Speaking of Inkheart, there's a character named Farid in there, too.

Why was this beautiful name, as suggested by Entropy, not considered for the ferret?

I'm getting a faint hint of cognitive dissonance at work here.

Its okay Rakim! I actually went ahead and formulated a long list of questions to make it up for you. You can find it here.

I didn't see it post-edit, so all that was there when I read it were Entropy, Dinner, and Furret.

Yike. You really are afraid of hurting others eh? Trying to divert the attention to the post-edit instead of how bad the name is compared to Atticus.

Its okay Farid. It only sounds cool because you aren't in the Middle East. Situation reverse and we were in the Middle East, I'm sure John would make a good choice too.

That's not true, I read it when it got posted. So mean, PHLN.

Hell yeah, Atticus.
The second I get a male cat, he's being named that. He will sit on armchairs contemplatively and be accepting of all cats.

lol, because it wasn't the name of the ferret? if i have a child, maybe i'll name it farid or not, we really aren't in the middle east or pakistan for that matter. but gwin is more appropriate of a ferret. i actually like atticus too, and should have read that you'd actually named him already before suggesting gwin. now gwin is up for grabs for the next ferret purchaser. i don't know how i feel about that.

Farid was actually just a joke suggestion because farid sounds like ferret.

(unless you know that MY NAME IS FAREEEEEEED)

^I always pronounced it like that too, except more like Fa-Rid, and then I heard people in the movie and elsewhere pronounce it Fareed.

But then again, the author herself is named Cornelia Funke - pronounced Foonka. So...yeah...

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult you in anyway. :( I was just surprised it's pronounced like that. D:
