"Finlay Jo Barry." That's gonna be cause for confusion...

/Congrats, by the way.

Congrats, Mr. and Mrs. Barry!


On a different note, now there is another Unanswerable Question to ponder. Not only must we ponder who Max is on NS, we must also ponder who Max's baby daughter is on NS!
If someone types "wdwjaw wajdlaw euoppdwgwddf", that might be a hint.
:p

Since Max is the God of NationStates, does that make his daughter a sort of Jesus?

Yeah- best wishes and good health.

I remember how cool it was when each of my children were born.

We can't crucify her! That would be cruel!

...oh wait, that's not what you meant, is it?

Woooo! Congrats Max. :) Not a father myself, but watching my little cousin grow up, I'd say it's worth it. Although after 5 years my Uncle is now completely bald!

I wonder if Max is gonna teach her what NS is? If I was him i'd keep my child as far away from NS as possible, we tend to corrupt..... :D :p

Congrats Max and Jennifer with your new little bundle of hope and joy :)

I don't like his books, so I haven't really kept up with his news. Is his wife/girlfriend really called Jennifer? And, if so, which came first - the book or the girl?

If you don't like his books, one might question why you are here? And, even so...is it really necessary to poison a congratulatory thread about a new baby by being a literary critic? I think your post is in poor taste.
Gruenberg
31-08-2005, 00:44
The first sentence is bizarre. I do take the second, though - I pretty much forgot. Genuinely, congratulations to the two of them on little Finlay, and I wish them every happiness.

That said - and if this in poor taste, so be it - my question stands: book or wife first? The coincidence is, I think, interesting: it's quite sweet to name a book after your spouse, but I was wondering if that was the case or not.
Gruenberg

no, I think that is a legitimate question, and perhaps Max will choose to answer it...or not. I've met Max, personally, when he was on tour in America for Jennifer Government, still have my autographed book to prove it, too.

I had never read any of Max's books prior to Jennifer Government, had never even HEARD of him until NationStates...and I found Jennifer Government to be a very intriguing, and very absorbing novel. I very much enjoyed it.

If you didn't....certainly that is your right...and you have the right to express that you didn't enjoy it...and perhaps WHY you didn't. But not on a thread intended to congratulate Max and his wife on their new arrival. THAT is what I found to be in poor taste.

Couldn't agree more! That is poison, and totally uncalled for in a thread like this.
Johnamerica should be ashamed of himself.

At least you had the good grace to recognize where I was coming from, and apologize.

I certainly would stand up for your right not to like Max's books...and the right for you to say so, on any public forum you choose. But not in this particular thread.

I think in this thread...if you don't have something good to say, it's probably best not to contribute to this particular thread.

Again, my congratulation to the Barry's on their new daughter, and it is my prayer that she will give you much joy.

Jen sneaks into her dady's room and gets on his comp and goes on to the Nationstates fourms. She looks at all the random and bizzare people and thinks. " Daddy. What in the world did you create."

Congratz Max, lovely little daughter, and Mom. Good show! Oh, and I bought a copy of the book already. Nice you worked in 'The Space Merchants', by the way. That's another fave of mine. Yup, 'Jennifer Government' is one of my fave books, it's true, I hope you have the chance to read my praise, Max - in fact, I've recommended it highly among family and friends. Some of them might even read the bloody thing, who knows?

Any, good luck and all of Dobbsworld's best for you, your lovely wife and daughter.
