During the conversation about the shoe phone, mention was made of Maxwell Smart's other phones. They were rarely used, but one scene is canonical.
That is great. One thing I had forgotten was the pinkie ring! How interesting to see clothing and style from the 60s. Google garter? The iTie would surely be a bust. However, our phones are on their way to becoming our wallets, so maybe that wasn't so far off.
Horatory names: I am still catching up from those days in which I was Forbidden!, so this goes back to September. I had a great uncle with a strange name, not quite horartorical except in an attempt to avoid such. His parents, not wanting to saddle him with a name he wouldn't like, simply called him "boy" until at around age eight, he was asked to name himself. He chose "Commodore Perry". I assume this was Matthew, rather than Oliver, but family oral tradition took a major hit during the early 1860s when members were not only on both sides of the war, but at least twice, both sides of the same battle. So to keep peace in the family, virtually nothing prior to the 1880s or '90s was ever mentioned.

Why? They both were on the Niagara in the Battle of Lake Erie, but big brother Oliver Hazard Perry was the hero.
