Al -- Ali -- Alis -- Alisdair

[kibitzer]

I have a sneaking suspicion that since Alisdair is from the UK, he doesn't like being called "Al".

"Al" feels to me like a very... please forgive me... North American contraction and I'm not sure it suits him. Feels like calling him "Dubya".

Comments?

[Zathras]

Everyone calls him Al.

At least they don't call him Big Gay Al, 'cause then he'd have to get a boat.

[Russell Nash]

I'm sure most anything is fine as long as you don't call him asshole.

Al prefers to be called Al.

At least that's how he signs his emails...

[kibitzer]

Dammit. My mistake. That's what I get for being a n00b here...

[DKT]

No worries! And hey, you're a Palmer already

[kibitzer]

Sure. :-) Just gotta stop saying the first thing that comes into my head

Sounds like a brag that you receive email from Al....

Hey guys, check out my story in the Triangulation: Dark Glass anthology! Rachel Swirksy's in there too!

He actually does commonly go by Al.  And it's easier to spell correctly than Alasdair.  Although if you're going to misspell it, you should misspell it Aleister after Miiiiiiiister Crowley (dun-dun-dun!), since Al is, after all, our Master of Ceremonies.

came for the Simon & Garfunkel reference, left satisfied.

[Russell Nash]

Paul Simon on Graceland.  Garfunkel wasn't involved.

[Talia]

You're right, I was thinking it was a duo but what of course I was thinking of was the music video where Chevy Chase stood in for Garfunkel.

[Russell Nash]

Chevy Chase stood in for Paul Simon.  Paul Simon was the soloists [edit]and backup singer[/edit].

Youtube

Still really funny.

[Talia]

well, yeah, but..

never mind. I had some sort of strange confused idea in my head, apparently.
