Oh... I thought "SO" means 2/3 of SOB. :-)
 
My mother has only two children, me and my brother.  I used to chuckle when
she mixes up my brother's name with mine... until recently.  I realized that
I am becoming my mother.  I just cannot call my ferrets by their correct
names.  "Hey, Socks!!  Barney!...no, I mean, Sneaker, no, no, no, you in the
corner (trying to make a mistake at this moment), what's your name??  (me
dashing to the corner to scoop up the ferret-in- question from the corner)
stop doing that!!!"
 
There are many FMLers who have more than 1 ferret, not to mention, more than
a dozen.  Do you call all your ferrets with their correct names?  How do you
do that?  I am curious.

and 3 bouncing over the Rainbow Bridge (Mythril, Swamp, and Nuke)
