Grr! Industrial Materialists Fall To Irritating Jesus Freak!

If Tebow is indeed from a French derivation, it would most likely be from Quebec and would be either Thibault or Thibeault, both of which are pronounced Tebow.

[DrVolin]

That would be: poutine eating surrender monkey, thank you.

Monsieur et Madame Thibeaut were the father and mother characters in our French textbooks, back in 7th through 10th grade. I still think of it as the standard Frenchman name. They were secularists, though. Always shopping for baguettes or sausage, consulting train schedules or packing their 2CVs for a family vacation.

[vanlose kid]

yeah, ok, but did they eat cheese, Jack? huh? did they?

The wife had a question. If he was home-schooled, how did he ever play football and get that college scholarship?

I suppose I there's wikipedia, but I wanted to share that question here.

[Stephen Morgan]

Don't they have youth teams in America?

[82_28]

I believe he was home schooled.

Goddamn, tomorrow's the day. Feels like the first day of school.

Why I am posting a reply to the jest question i do not know, but first of all, I agree if the name would of French origin it would be of Canadian influence, and the European spelling would not be operative. I also think it would more likely be spelled 'Tebeaux'. The '-eaux' suffix is quite omnipresent here in Louisiana, anyway. So much so in the sports world here, 'Go Saints, or Go LSU, etc. is spelled 'Geaux Saints' - if you look in the stands for signage in any team game from La., I am quite confident you will see this playful spelling.

Edit to show example:


TT home schooled, yes. Home schoolers are allowed to participate in extra curricular team sports and activities. Chess club, academic games, gymnastics, etc.

[DrVolin]

As far as I know, Thibeault and Thibault are common in Quebec, whereas Thibaux occurs in France.

As for that Saints sign, someone should tell them that e after g and before a softens the sound The hard sound of go drops the e and would be rendered gaux. Geaux sounds like a soft jo, i.e. not djo, but jo.

Thanks for the input. I am in no way a language expert, and defer to your input, so maybe we here are under more pure French influence. It could be a case of both equally as well. My last name for instance has to come from France, as that is where my grandfather came from. But I say again, countless Cajun French last names end with -eaux. Boudreaux (Buedrow), Breaux (bro), etc., etc.

Jokes around here that have to have a name for the person use Boudreaux. Kind of like 'Smith'.

"Boudreaux was out in his pirogue one day..."

Thibodeaux (Tibidow)...

Here we go, fyi-

American surnames

This is a common ending in the United States for historically Cajun surnames, such as Babineaux, Boudreaux, Breaux, Legeaux, Marceaux, Robicheaux and Thibodeaux. This combination of letters is pronounced with a long "O" sound (/oʊ/).
[edit]United States spelling and use
Although there is debate about the exact emergence of this spelling in the United States, it has been claimed that the spelling originated from immigrants who did not speak or read English having to make an "x" mark at the end of their printed name in order to sign a legal document. Since many Cajun names of French origin already ended in "-eau," the names' endings eventually became standardized as "-eaux."
This claim has been disputed by the historian Carl Brasseaux, who insists that the "-eaux" ending was one of many possible ways to standardize Cajun surnames ending in an "O" sound. Brasseaux claims that Judge Paul Briant is most responsible for the "-eaux" ending during his oversight of the 1820 U.S. Census in Louisiana and that the "x" ending is completely arbitrary.[1]
Several surnames end in -eau (the standard French spelling), especially surnames that start with "C", as in Cousineau, a common Cajun surname.
The "-eaux" ending is used among residents of south Louisiana as a marker of their Cajun heritage, particularly at sporting events for Louisiana State University and the University of Louisiana at Lafayette on signs like "Geaux Tigers" or "Geaux Cajuns.", being pronounced as "Go Tigers" or "Go Cajuns".

Thanks, interesting link.

[DrVolin]

oh, and another way to harden the sound legally would be to add a u in there. As in Gueaux Saints. Now that I think of it, that's probably how I would go.

Santorum Puts American ‘WMD Scientists’ on Code Red Alert?

Applying a “Fairness Doctrine” to Santorum’s ‘Dead Scientists are a Wonderful Thing’

This post is a major exception for Boiling Frogs Post. I almost never bother commenting or giving coverage to ‘easy-come, easy-go’ dime-a-dozen flake personalities in politics. As you know we have never even named that ‘one’ from Alaska, or the other one from ‘The Pizza Chain,’ … However, I just watched the video below, and couldn’t help myself. You must watch it, you must let that critical thinking kick in, and then afterwards, apply this particular half-psychopath, half-sociopath, and a quarter-flake’s rational across the board using a fairness doctrine to see and understand the real implications of what he is saying:

Based on what this US presidential candidate is saying all our past and present scientists who’ve been involved in developing many thousands of weapons of mass destruction for many decades should go on Code Red Alert, and maybe even go under the Federal Protection Program. Because all those family members, direct and indirect victims of our WMD in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Agent Orange, Kuwait, Iraq, Cambodia … may be on their way. Sanctioned and justified by Mr. Santorum and those who agree with him (in practice as well) in our government, they are now justified to come and take out hundreds, if not thousands of scientists in our universities, all Pentagon branches , RAND… who have been developing thousands of deadly WMDs for a government who has been using them for many decades.
