About me


I'm Brendan Loy, a 26-year-old graduate of USC and Notre Dame now living and working in Knoxville, Tennessee. My wife Becky and I are brand-new parents of a beautiful baby girl, born on New Year's Eve.

I'm a big-time sports fan, a politics, media & law junkie, an astronomy buff, a weather nerd, an Apple aficionado, a Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter fanatic, and an all-around dork. My blog is best-known for its coverage of Hurricane Katrina, but I blog about anything and everything that interests me.

Except Khan is spelled with an H.

Posted by: David K. | Apr 8, 2008 4:16:56 PM

Ooh, now I know you play Scrabulous. You can ask David about the fun of playing against me...

Posted by: Mike | Apr 8, 2008 5:27:21 PM

Heh

Posted by: David K. | Apr 8, 2008 5:31:25 PM

Except Khan is spelled with an H.

True. It also isn't spelled with three A's. :)

Anyway, I didn't include the "H" because: 1) it's not necessary to the joke, and 2) I didn't have an "H." Not necessarily in that order. :)

Posted by: Brendan Loy | Apr 8, 2008 5:53:26 PM

You were missing an A.

Posted by: Leanna Loomer | Apr 8, 2008 6:15:29 PM

The H is essential. Evidence: www.khaaan.com.

Posted by: JD | Apr 8, 2008 7:01:45 PM


Yup - the H is essential ... you khannot spell it correctly without it !

Posted by: Alasdair | Apr 8, 2008 7:37:27 PM


Or should that be khorrekhtly ???

Posted by: Alasdair | Apr 8, 2008 7:38:09 PM

Only in Yiddish, Alasdair.

Posted by: Leanna Loomer | Apr 8, 2008 7:44:42 PM

To wit:
Sholem Alekhem!

Posted by: Leanna Loomer | Apr 8, 2008 7:49:35 PM

Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra.

Posted by: Brendan Loy | Apr 8, 2008 7:53:06 PM


Leanna - I thought it was/is "Sholem Aleikhem" ...

{looking around for my copy of Leo Rosten's "Joys of Yiddish"}

want to get an Irish Trojan Scrabulous team together? Could be fun...

Posted by: Jay Johnson | Apr 8, 2008 9:17:05 PM

I think the Next Generation obsecure reference [Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra] may qualify for Super-Doork status..

Posted by: #2 | Apr 8, 2008 10:20:02 PM

I earned that status long, long ago, #2. :)

Posted by: Brendan Loy | Apr 8, 2008 10:23:57 PM

If there is an Irish Trojan Scabulous Team, I'm in.

Posted by: Gardner | Apr 9, 2008 7:09:55 AM

I'm in, too. Let me know.

Also, not only did I earn my Super-Dork mantle years ago (heck, Brendan and I had earned ours separately before we even met in 9th grade), but I leave you with this, which paints a better picture of how I remember Brendan from high school (for no other reason than he must have repeated it 1,267,321 times at least):

The line must be drawn here. This far, no further. (for proper emphasis, must be delivered with the Brendan-trying-to-do-Picard-esque voice...)

You can have Scrabulous teams? How does that work?

Posted by: Brendan Loy | Apr 9, 2008 9:22:19 AM

Khannnnnnnnnn!!!!

I will use up all the N's

Posted by: | Apr 9, 2008 9:27:39 AM

Alaisdair,
Yiddish is the most variable language I know, and even transliterated spelling could trigger a month-long debate on the Yiddish Forum.

P.S. Note the Kh.

Posted by: Leanna Loomer | Apr 9, 2008 1:05:28 PM

Note the Kh.

Okay, fine. Darmokh and Jalad at Tanagra. Happy now?

:P

Posted by: Brendan Loy | Apr 9, 2008 1:25:40 PM

Darmok(h) and Jalard on the ocean...
