The naming of Sprinkles is a long story. Unfortunately for you lot I am quiet at work today so can tell it

My ex ex bought me Sprinkles in 2010 for my birthday. At that stage he was actually a she, or so the breeder told us. So my human kids wanted to call 'her' Tinkerbell, which was shortened to Tinky when a) I was mad for 'her' tearing up the curtains, or b) I was out of breath from being fat (I was 25 kilos heavier back then).

One day whilst watching the footy 'she' was bathing 'her'self when a little red rocket appeared

On communicating said revelation to my Mum (who IS actually the quintessential crazy cat lady), I was told I had to change 'his' name to something male or, in her words not mine, "the other cats in the street would laugh at him".

So we originally came up with Stinky, because it was manly and sounded like Tinky, but mainly because he was actually pretty stinky.

A year or 2 went past and so did a couple of more girlfriends...and when my latest ex came on the scene Sprinkles was very jealous and a vicious and protracted turf war began.  My last ex was not a cat lover and decided to hurt the cat emotionally by reverting back to a much less manly name, that name was Sprinkles.

Sprinkles and I used to get upset about it, but now we both just sit back and laugh. You can do that when the dark clouds have finally passed...

Could you please find something to busy yourself with at work SI?

Good on ya mate! All too common I agree. So common in fact that for a long time (perhaps still), even to really good people, much of it can be quite normalised behavior, albeit completely unacceptable. I'll freely admit that in my younger days I used to say some dumb shit, as did a heck of a lot of my mates (some still do of course). From my part no malice was ever intended, at the time it was often just normalised shit talking. And that is one of the (many) fundamental problems. The NBA did a really great job of trying to crack down on one of the all too familiar phrases!

Now as I've gotten older and hopefully a little wiser, and perhaps more importantly now that I have a family member who is gay and working their way through some stuff, Im a lot more aware. Hopefully this kinda stuff gets others to a better place as well!

Probably worth clarifying it was Sprinkles red rocket mate...

We were all, at one time, young dumb and full of cum. I didn't understand how stupid and hurtful some of the shit I used to do was. Lucky not to kill myself several times over with some of the dumb shit I used to do on the road and otherwise. Never drank and drove thankfully, I wasn't quite that level of stupid!
Understanding as you grow is the important part!

EDIT: Reasoning because I can see Milford/KNik in the halves looking a lot like JRey/MBye :-/
