Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 02-14-2004 02:09 PM                     What's up with "Fuchs" ? That's a real surname. I figure people with that name must fall into one of two categories: (a) they change it as soon as they're old enough (b) they like to mess with people so they keep it.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 02-14-2004 09:05 PM                    In a prior life I worked at a bank and there was a customer whose first name was Cleandress. That wouldn't be so terrible if she pronounced it CleANdress but, no, I'm told it was Clean-dress.  |  IP: Logged Dick Vaughan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1032 From: Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK Registered: Jul 2000 posted 02-16-2004 02:47 AM                        [QUOTE] [/That guy's a Dick! >>> Phil QUOTE] As many of my friends know the expression "Dick by name ,Dick by nature!" is often heard round these parts. What greater compliment can be paid than that!  |  IP: Logged Howard Johnson Film Handler Posts: 87 From: Felpham , West Sussex, UK Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-16-2004 06:31 AM                     Regarding the name Fuchs- When Dr. Fuchs set off on his first Antarctic expedition in the 50s the Liverpool Daily Post carried the following headline DR. FUCHS OFF TO SOUTH ICE . Next year he sailed again and both the Post and the Daily Express reported FUCHS OFF AGAIN. These gems and many more can be found in one of my favourite old Christmas presents- a paperback called "Keep Taking The Tabloids" by Fritz Spiegl - Pan Books 1983  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 02-16-2004 07:10 AM                        Fuchs is German for fox. Actually pronounced "fooks" (with a short oo as in look), but it is easy too see it can lead to calamitous results in an English language context.  |  IP: Logged Travis Hubrig Expert Film Handler Posts: 175 From: Minot ND, USA Registered: May 2003 posted 02-16-2004 05:04 PM                     Holy HANNA  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

Andrew Diercks Expert Film Handler Posts: 232 From: Marion, Iowa (In the middle of everywhere) Registered: May 2003 posted 02-16-2004 09:03 PM                     The "R" is for Richard (family has always gone by middle names, something about it looking dignified with an initial in front of your name)...anyway this was an open door for my classmates in high school to yell phallic references down the hall with little fear of repercussion. "What's up Dick?" was the favorite to which I often reply "Just that".  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 02-16-2004 09:55 PM                  Yeah...so where is Daryl C(ountry) W(estern) O'Shea in all this? >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Will Kutler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1506 From: Tucson, AZ, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 02-16-2004 10:46 PM                     "Thy WILL Be Done!"
