Probably just the US' relation to the Brit's and the historical Brit's relation to Vikings.

Although one would think those names would have been changed again centuries later, but apparently not.

I'm just assuming it's a Roman thing where they adopted Germanic culture to naming conventions for the sake of integrating them.

TFW one of the most gorgeous women you've ever seen in your life only does softcore but you're willing to make it work. For the kids.

Erica Campbell. It's also the name of some black gospel singer so if you just Google "erica campbell" you'll get a bunch of non-relevant ****. If you get a brunette white chick then you're on the right track.

I think she might have weirdly short toes though so I don't know if she'll be a true dime for you. The only possible problem though. The kinda chick that needs no feature to make up for a flaw. All features are perfect.

^ Good for you, elphenor - for the raise, and for contriving to put a grammar mistake into a "That feeling when..." sentence!

On the topic of day names, I was always told that Monday was named after the Moon. The same thing applies even when the language is different: Monday in Spanish is "lunes" which comes from "luna"= moon. Spooky or what?

In regards to the week, I just always thought it was odd that the first day of the week in the US is sunday. In Sweden it is Monday ( måndag).

TFW you're glad that the week is over then you realize that it's actually Thursday and you're like goddamn I should drink some water.
