7-12: Is that an Ektorp you are sitting on?
13-17: You're hotter than a fresh cup of Bryggkaffe Morkrost!
18-20: Mr. President, don't you have some commutations to consider?

Comments:
I could have sworn that one of those Palins was named "Sparsan Low-Energy Bulb."
 
This, oddly, brought to mind another fun activity called Bonnie Ball — a game to entertain the clergy and lay deputies at the 77th General Convention of the Episcopal Church (and named for Bonnie Anderson, President of the House of Deputies).

It's my understanding that the House of Bishops isn't allowed to have fun unless they suspend the rules.
 
Orgel Vretton is the oldest son, right? I failed.
 
That's actually a Henriksdal I'm sitting on.
 
10-10…really surprised about getting the Ikea names wrong. Seems that taking the free Ikea water taxi to their store in Brooklyn doesn’t quite make me an Ikea expert. It certainly makes me one happy customer just for the chance to enjoy a spectacular view of New York harbor with the added bonus of a ride relatively free of shutterbug demented tourists (hope it didn’t make it into one those loathsome “best kept secrets” nonsense books). I guess not going inside the store doesn’t help with the inventory names either. Not really sure what to think of getting the absurd names right!?
 
Fun Stuff. Name games are always a hoot (take it from a boy named Sue). Glad to once again have a presidential candidate with which you can have a little fun without being called out as a horrible person.
 
WF-- IKEA makes it too easy!
 
I think I'm going to name my child Sparsan Low Energy Bulb, after Sarah Palin's cousin's housekeeper's neighbor's favorite Ikea purchase.
 
Desiree, I knew you would appreciate the low-energy bulb.
 
Wicked sense of humor Prof! ...@5:59pm
 
Omg...one of your funniests posts ever!!
 
How could I have missed both Tagg and Track! So obvious.
