Yeah, that's a great name.

To borrow from Peeps, I think Enjorged Members also works.

But how would you pronounce that? If you pronounce "Jorge" correctly you lose the pun.

Since you're recording this album long distance via correspondence, perhaps you should call your band

The Postal Service

Wife has a work event tonight, so I’m taking the four year old to the HOA meeting I’m running. Should be a short meeting!

Unfortunately, you would have to pronounce your name incorrectly. But it's for the greater good.

I’m sure it’s just like going to a playground.

I had a Zoom meeting with a Sicilian woman. I grew up around a LOT of Sicilian people. For some reason, as our meeting went on, I gradually started speaking with the same sort of inflections as a Sicilian person. Not the accent, per se, but just the sort of energy and melody. I became aware of it and was mortified but couldn't immediately turn it off because it wouldn't been too obvious, so I tried to subtly ratchet it down over five minutes.

My wife heard the whole thing and was like "what the fuck was that about?"
Ah, the old reverse appropriation

haha, our elderly neighbors always host these meetings, so there's breakable stuff all over the place. i had to move a glass vase slightly when she was horsing around nearby, but otherwise, she couldn't have been better behaved and i think she got a kick out of it. by the end, she was laughing when everyone else would laugh - an obvious fake laugh - but it was amusing nonetheless.
