Please send our congrats to Tim, Lori.

 

Marlena is a really great name, too...even if it isn't Bills-related.

 

 

 

Au contraire, Marlena comes right from Marlin Briscoe, right, Tim?

It could be if we break it down....

 

Mar = Marv

le = Levy

na = ?

 

 

In Japanese, both "na" and "ne" are tag questions. That is, they mean "isn't it?" or "is it?" or "doesn't he?" or "yeah?" That sort of thing. But only at the end of sentences. In Japanese, sentences can be one word.

 

So "atsui" means "hot." And "Atsui, na?" means "Hot, isn't it?"

 

So if "Ma" = Marv and "le" = Levy, then Marlena means "Marv Levy, yeah?"

 

Just saying.

It's definitely a Jacob Dylan (The Wallflowers) song.

 

 

Aargh! You're right of course. Though that doesn't make it less true that the world needs more Lyle Lovett fans.
