Egger suits are expensive these days.
Gives too much "send cats to Timbuktu" energy.
No one likes the lower case "e". Everyone wants upper case for proper nouns these days.
I worked with an Edgar about ten years ago. He was a nice fella though a little on edge. He really liked rocks and geology.
the name is synonymous with excellence in the PNW
Edgar Martinez is a god damn hero
Edgar is also the hero in Shakespeare’s King Lear. I’m from MI and while everyone loves Edgar, my favorite Mariner is still Ichiro, even saw him hit a HR at Safeco once.
Ichiro is my favorite also. i was lucky enough to be at the game when he had his only Grand Slam. Griffy Jr also had an HR that game. On the way out I bought a hat and sharpied the date on it
There's a few like this, when's the last time you met a nigel?
nigel farage unfortunately exists.
Maybe you don't live on the coast or near any Hispanic communities.
I don't know if I've met an edgar in my 40something years on earth. I've met edwards. I guess it's feasible that some 'ed' I met (only met a handful in my life) that didn't say their full name might have been an edgar, but I doubt it.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
