I forgot about him.

I don't know any Kristens.

There must be a lot of Christinas in all these sitcoms. But I can really only think of one Christina right now, and that's the heroine of "The Flambards", a Brittish drama series. But there's also Kristina Carrington, Blake's and Krystle's daughter from "Dynasty", except that it seemed like her name was spelled with a K. I also remember Kirsten Cohen on "The O.C." being called "Kicki", which happens to be my nick name.

A mud dauber is a type of wasp, that makes its nest from mud and attaches it to walls, roofs, etc.

Hayden told someone once that when Dauber used to play football for him; he used to run like a "mud dauber" which I guess is some sort of animal.

A mud dauber is actually a species of wasp that makes it nest out of mud.

Thanks both of you! I didn't realize how many Eugenes there were. Not a real common name for the last several generations. Before that it was more common in American culture, but never a popular name overall, as far as I know.

Andrea Zuckerman(although her name was pronounced differently than I pronounce mine) - Beverly Hills 90210
Andrea Belladonna - Samantha Who?
Andrea Moreno - Ghost Whisperer
