Woo and Domesticity: neither is pretty.

[elfs]

The other day Orac blogged his latest bit of woo, in which he reveals that doctors must acquire Continuing Medicine Education credits in order to retain their license to practice, and then reveals that some serious woo at a thing called the "Body Heals Workshop," led by one Adam Dreamhealer, does indeed give the docs attending CME credits. Orac says of Mr. Dreamhealer, "What a fantastic name for a woo-meister by the way. I tip my hat to him."

Omaha objected, saying that her name was Omaha and she had changed it after a comic book character who was half cat.

I replied, "Yes, dear. But you don't claim that you lick people in order to clean them."

I'm with Omaha. I legally changed my name to River when I married Charles, but had started using it years before that, and I changed it after a handle that I used online that became an in-person nickname. There is more to it than that, too.

The point Orac and I were making is that Mr. Dreamhealer changed his name in order to be a human, walking, talking advertisement for a product of dubious efficacy or moral utility. Neither you nor Omaha has done that.

I'd say the parallel to Mr Dreamhealer is Mike the Mover.

What's the other half of Omaha?

The cat dancer, not the wife.

The other half of the comic book character "Omaha" is human.

Oh, okay. I didn't remember humans being in that universe.

I wonder what I'd have to claim. ;-)
