We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

His name is Benedict Cumberbatch so we're riffing. And ended up quoting Eddie Izzard, like you do.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Ever read a transcript of Eddie's shows? Dressed to Kill in particular sounds like the maniacal rambling of a psychopath on the verge of a breakdown.

AKA, my head on a Tuesday.

Today is my Friday. Tomorrow we're going to the Utah County Fair, where we will visit what we call the dating barn (the sheep) and peruse the cutthroat canning and produce competitions. There will be funnel cake.

I love county fairs.

Cumberbatch

COMBERBACH is a surname based upon a local place-name. It is constructed of two compounds, or elements, the first usually qualifies the first.

Comber: 'dweller in a Combe'. A 'Combe' is a small valley, valley in the flank of a hill, short valley running up from the sea in old english. Place name examples from England of co(o)mbe: Ilfracombe or Combe Martin both in Devon for seaside examples; and Combe St. Nicholas or Odcombe in Somerset for an inland examples. Somerset has nine combes, Devon has six, other counties have six (Cottle B. The Penguin Dictionary of Surnames 1978:London).

Comber, Coomber, Coomer, Cumber, Cumbers: Historic examples - 'William le Combere' 1260 Assize Roles Cambridgeshire; 'Roger le Coumber' 1276 Rotuli Hundredorum 2 Vols published London 1812-1818; 'John Comber' 1296 Subsidy Rolls Sussex; 'Walter Cumbar' 1332 Subsidy Rolls Sussex. 'Dweller in a valley' ( P.H. Reaney A Dictionary of British Surnames Second Edition with Corrections and Additions by R.M. Wilson pp.80-81 Routledge & Kegan Paul). If named after an occupation Comber means 'comb-maker'. Comber originated as a local place-name.

Bach(e): 'stream'. The old english was 'bache'. Back: which is another derived ending of the name means 'ridge, hill' (Cottle B. The Penguin Dictionary of Surnames 1978: London). Bach(e) originated as a local place-name.

Cumberbatch is a derivative of Comberbach, the most ancient spelling. Comberbach: Means dweller in a valley with a stream. "Valley or stream of the Britons" (The Place Names of Cheshire Part II - English Place-Name Society XLV 1967-8 Cambridge University Press: 1970).

This surname records a locality or place of origination. Comberbach is a small village in the Parish of Great Budworth, in the Hundred of Bucklow in the Deanery of Frodsham, which is in Cheshire near Chester England. 'The village stands in a hollow beside a small brook running into Budworth Mere' (The Place Names of Cheshire Part II - English Place-Name Society XLV 1967-8 Cambridge University Press: 1970).

It is 3 miles North West of Northwich. A copy of a John Speede map, dated 1610, has the village of Comberbach spelt as Cumberbache. Comberbach was not mentioned in the Doomsday book of 1087.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Howdy!

County fair sounds nice, Connie. Sampling prize-winning jams sounds very good to me right now, still having not broken my fast.
