I was browsing around my usual haunts, courtesy of the grace of Comcast, and happened across a public service announcement at the top of the Sluggy Freelance webcomic:

Brent! Call me! Callll Meeeeeee! I’ve left you two messages! It is important!

Now, I know my name isn’t the most uncommon one out there—but I’m still not used to seeing it used to refer to other people. I suppose you would get used to that, if your name were “Sarah” or “Tom.”
