Ladies, Gentleman, and fellow forum dwellers,

I have the distinct honor of presenting to you a future gamer/developer and 2nd Grandson of mine, Gavin Matthew Shaw.



He sincerely apologizes for not being able to stay awake for the photo, but he was up all night coding his DNA.

Brian.

As always

Yeh, congratulations on the new grandchild! I'm not even legally allowed to have a child yet, so I'm a long way away from you...

Just don't get the poor little bugger to use FPSC, he'll tear out his newly grown hair at the bugs...

If I was ever given the opportunity to remove all the bad from the world, I wouldn't, because for there to be heroism, compassion and all that is good, there must also be all that is bad.

Congratulations, man!
Gavin, haven't heard that name before. Does it have a special meaning?

LOL. I knew it wouldn't be a popular game forum topic, but I couldn't help bragging.

The only other time I've heard Gavin was an actor by the name of Gavin McCloud some years ago. I can't remember what show he was known for.

I hate that shirt. I've seen babies survive things most adults wouldn't (not in person, mind you.....). The HP should be way higher. Babies are tough little things.

OK. I think I can figure out some of those, like strength, wisdom, etc... but what is AC and HP. Horsepower?

It's a very American name, if I'm not mistaken.

I had to look it up.

The boy's name Gavin \g(a)-vin\ is pronounced GAV-en. It is of Scottish and Welsh origin, and its meaning is "white falcon; little falcon".
A form of the medieval name Gawain. Gavino is an Italian form. Gavan is the name of an English saint (17th century).

Quote: "The actor, Gavin MacLeod (born February 28, 1930) an American actor most notable for playing Murray Slaughter on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Captain Merrill Stubing on The Love Boat. He is the stepfather of Drew Steele, of the rock band the Surf Punks."


Well, that's kind of embarrassing but we won't hold it against him.

Gawain was one of the Knights of the Round Table if I'm not mistaken. Coooool.

Congrats on the Grandson!!

I've always thought so, though I know some Grand Parents who have their Grand Children full time because their kids are dopers and failures. I'm blessed to have two good and responsible daughters.

I don't know. It seems he's lost interest in everything except eating, sleeping and pooping. Hopefully it's just a phase.
