etymologically speaking... i'm a huge dork

i was talking to a buddy of mine last friday and i slipped the word "machiavellian" into the conversation.

david, being the sarcastic sunnuvagun that he is, mockingly said "machiavellian, huh?"

to which i responded, "y'know, i was thinking about that word the other day and i'd like to do something so awesome that my last name is turned into an adjective, like orwellian or dickensian or freudian. i want something to be described as "medlenian."

david was quick with a suggestion.

"that could describe a really, really long nap."

i laughed hard and then countered, "or if you tell somebody the same story that you've already told them 8 times before. the you could say it was quite medlenian of you."
