Markus, I'll name my first child after you if you release the game today.

Even if its a girl! You release the game today and my first child will be named Markus Berg. You can't beat that.

I have today and tomorrow off from work and tomorrow off from school. But Thursday I have class all morning and work all day after that. I figured two days of playing is worth a girl named Markus.

"See, honey, when you were born, well, I was really into this baseball simulation game, and it was made by this guy named Markus Heinsohn. Yes, THAT Markus Heinsohn. Yeah. So, that's who you're named after. What's that? Yeah, I know you've been made fun of a lot for having a boy's name, but if you just tell the other girls that you're named after a German programmer who made a really cool baseball sim, and you tell them that it is THE Markus Heinsohn, well, I'm sure they'll all want to be friends with you."

Your girl may not be as forgiving as Johnny. Pow!

JOHNNY CASH LYRICS

"A Boy Named Sue"

My daddy left home when I was three
And he didn't leave much to ma and me
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that he ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me "Sue."

Well, he must o' thought that is quite a joke
And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk,
It seems I had to fight my whole life through.
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head,
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named "Sue."

Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
My fist got hard and my wits got keen,
I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame.
But I made a vow to the moon and stars
That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars
And kill that man who gave me that awful name.

Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry,
I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew.
At an old saloon on a street of mud,
There at a table, dealing stud,
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me "Sue."

Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had,
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
He was big and bent and gray and old,
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold
And I said: "My name is 'Sue!' How do you do!
Now your gonna die!!"

Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
And he went down, but to my surprise,
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear.
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.

I tell ya, I've fought tougher men
But I really can't remember when,
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.
I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
He went for his gun and I pulled mine first,
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile.

And he said: "Son, this world is rough
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
And I knew I wouldn't be there to help ya along.
So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
I knew you'd have to get tough or die
And it's the name that helped to make you strong."

He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I know you hate me, and you got the right
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do.
But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you "Sue.'"

I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
And I called him my pa, and he called me his son,
And I came away with a different point of view.
And I think about him, now and then,
Every time I try and every time I win,
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him
Bill or George! Anything but Sue! I still hate that name!

Congrats Zukes, My daughter is due May 9th. Sorry but early release or not she will not be named Markus. I will be on enough thin ice with my wife after I have downloaded the game. Luckily the baby shower is this Saturday and I will be able to get in a few uninterupted hours. Now if I could only get off of work thursday and Friday.

zukes · 03-20-2007, 12:24 PM

Congrats to you as well. My wife has had two baby showers thus far and has one more coming. We have a whole bedroom full of gifts.

Come on Markus, I know you want a kid named after you.

FYI, the female form of Markus is Marcia. Both derive from Mars, the Roman god of war.

I, on the other hand, will name Markus after my first child if he releases the game today.

If the game is released today, I'll call my kid Marcus for 24 hours.
