Famous real-life people named Inga-the-swag:

Inga-the-swag Baxter-Munney-Coutes

Inga-the-swag Ferdananio

Inga-the-swag Tacotortilla

Inga-the-swag in song, story & screen:

This name was used for one of the extras in Titanic- it is actually the name of one of the crew members who first spots the iceberg. It is also featured in Aladdin, and is the name of Jasmine's father's wife. It also is the inspiration for the song 'YMCA' by the Village People.

Nice!

Next up on VJ: How to Train your Woman in 10 Easy Steps.

Show me where this is. :D

I've been AWOL for a week while I've been assisting at a trial. Since I still don't have my bar card, I can't actually stand up and speak before the court but I did the lion's share of this case until we got into the courtroom. I had no idea how physically and mentally exhausting trial can be. I spent the week asking myself if getting qualified in the States is worth it, when I wasn't acting like the attorney's second chair lackey. :dead:
