Well, I'm single and straight, and I listen to Joni! > ... and also wrote (again, in part): >p.s. ... speaking of things irish, anyone else have corned beef >and cabbage yesterday ? Well, yes, on Sunday, I had corned beef and cabbage; and in the run-up to the day, on Friday, I had Irish stew for lunch, and ham and cabbage (which, I am informed, is more authentic) for dinner. ... and then, on Monday, 18 Mar 2002, at 18:10:00 EST, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote, in re: fleischer, some more: > ><snip> >p.s. actually keith is my middle name not my last. i have always been >called by both my first and middle names as if they were one.

Traditionally, a Russian's given middle name is a "patronymic," i.e., formed from the first name of the father. For instance, the 1950s and early 1960s Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR and First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (read: dictator), Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev, would have been called "Nikita Sergeyevich" by anyone on a first-name basis with him (!), and his middle name was "Sergeyevich" because his father's first name was "Sergei."
