    Re: So we're back to school yard politics... —David Koudys
   (...) And I made it thru school totally unscathed... Every teacher in grade school knew how to pronounce the last name 'cause I have 30ish cousins older than me and we all grew up in the same small town... So the regular teachers were fine--it was (...) (21 years ago, 4-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: So we're back to school yard politics... —Scott Costello
     (...) I kept wanting to put an R in there for some reason, it just kept looking like cordory to me. Thank you for the pronunciation, outside your family is this a common name?

         A very frigid last name--was Re: So we're back to school yard politics... —David Koudys
     (...) It's Dutch, and not all that common. It wasn't until I was into my 20's until I met other folks with my last name that I wasn't related to. Here's a pickup line-- A woman I just introduced to--I was 22ish and she was around 20ish-- "Hey Dave, (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

     (...) Hah, I got you beat! It wasn't until my 40's (all of a month or two ago) that I met someone with my last name that I'm not directly related to... Frank (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: A very frigid last name--was Re: So we're back to school yard politics... —Bruce Schlickbernd
      (...) I've never met someone with my last name who isn't related to me - in fact, my understanding is that absolutely everyone with my last name is related to me. Do I have to admit that I have the 40 years beat, too? ;-) -->Bruce<-- (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

      (...) No, you can't beat the record until you actually find someone not related to you! :-) :-) :-) Frank (21 years ago, 6-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
     
          Re: A very frigid last name--was Re: So we're back to school yard politics... —Bruce Schlickbernd
      (...) No, I can't stop setting a new record every day until I actually find someone named Schlickbernd not related to me (and yes, the two black women named Schlickbernd are related). :-P -->Bruce<-- (21 years ago, 6-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
     
          Re: A very frigid last name--was Re: So we're back to school yard politics... —Frank Filz
      (...) Of course, I think my dad might have you beat (since he hasn't met the Filz I met). Of course there may also be a connection, so it may be hard to know if I should really stop counting... Frank (21 years ago, 6-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: A very frigid last name--was Re: So we're back to school yard politics... —Thomas Stangl
     Psh, beginners. I'm 36, and I don't think there is a Stangl (with that exact spelling) in the world that I am NOT related to. Stangls are somewhat rare (and I'm sure some people in here think that's a GOOD thing ;-) (...) -- Tom Stangl ***(URL) (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
