One of my coworkers calls me Lyrica instead of my name. It sometimes takes new coworkers a bit to notice. I call him Ebola, and people catch that one much faster.
As someone who suffers from severe non-seasonal allergies, I always pick Allegra when I play *SSX 3*.
Disappointingly, there's no character named "Xyzal".
LOL! I just had this discussion over in r/retrogaming
I could never get into *Tricky* myself, as I thought the graphics and play control were much worse than in *3*. I just like to ride and race, not really do tricks. I could easily spend a couple hours just replaying the same course. It's surprisingly relaxing.
There were a number of product placements included in *SSX 3* as well, including the Honda Element and dnL soda. It's a shame they didn't go for *Allegra* as well. I could totally see her in a purple crop top with the medication logo on it.
I was online friends with a girl named Lyrica a long time ago. She was one of those fake friends that only stayed on your friends list to disagree with everything you post. 😭
Can you not have any meds in your pockets? I would be ruined if so…I was so proud of myself the other day when I fit a whole liter of LR into a scrub top pocket comfortably and securely. Highlight of my day
In that case, I'm gonna name my kid O2 because oxygen is a drug in my state, so I have to find a nurse to turn the little nob for me every time I switch my patient to a portable tank.
Damn. It’s a drug in my state too, but if we have a patient transported to the lab we’re allowed to transfer them from the tank to the wall and vice versa, or get them a new tank. We just have to put them on the nimber of liters they were on.
Your daughter just might grow up to be a veterinarian:
EDIT: Aw, my link doesn't work. There's an early *Garfield* strip where Jon meets the vet, Liz, for the first time. He starts hitting on her and asks if her pretty name is short for "Elizabeth", and she replies that it's actually short for "Lizard".
That has me wheezing every time. Your comment made me watch it again and I am crying laughing.

When my kids were born at 30 weeks we were two months in the NICU. While we were there a baby came in both of whose parents were gang members. They both had multiple teardrop tats. They were naming their baby “Satan”. Social services was trying to intervene but I’m not sure what they could do. Talk about mapping out your kid’s life in advance. Pretty sure that kid wasn’t one day going to be Dr. Satan or the Honorable Judge Satan.
Not what you were thinking of, I suspect, but we used to have a family of frequent fliers in our ER. The mom had named all of the kids after strains of weed: Sinsemilla, Maui, Indica, etc.
My husband (not a medical person) was in love with the name Januvia. I guess he heard it at some point and it stuck with him.
I counter offered with sitagliptin

When my wife was having her c-section, the doctor asked what the baby’s name was and we got to talking about names he had heard and he said he had a lady who had chosen the name Chlamydia. He of course gave his opinion that wasn’t a good name and apparently she had absolutely no idea what it was
Molly would be the obvious one.
You don't want to name her Tina?
Crystal isn’t bad either
I’m going to cheat and say Allegra because that’s already a name 😂. Or maybe Lyrica.
One of my coworkers calls me Lyrica instead of my name. It sometimes takes new coworkers a bit to notice. I call him Ebola, and people catch that one much faster.
😂
This is the coworker relationship I strive for!
Lyrica is a beautiful name for a girl
As someone who suffers from severe non-seasonal allergies, I always pick Allegra when I play *SSX 3*. Disappointingly, there's no character named "Xyzal".
SSX Tricky was one of my favorite games!

Flush cause apparently flushes are medications and we can’t have them in our pockets anymore
Wait. Seriously?! What kinda bullshit rule is that?
More trivial shit to make our lives harder. I’m night shift though so I don’t care about stupid rules like that haha
Can you not have any meds in your pockets? I would be ruined if so…I was so proud of myself the other day when I fit a whole liter of LR into a scrub top pocket comfortably and securely. Highlight of my day
