At least two famous people have the name Ken Fuchs. Well, one famous and a different guy who gets a lot of hits on Google.

My name spells a rather boring word, STE/M, but hey, it's a word.

Last night, in DEN I saw a

CAN/T
TAK/E
THI/S

Although, they were on the cleared list, so apparently they could!

I had to laugh and point it out to everyone waiting at the gate near me.

Somewhat paradoxically, WAL/K was waiting for an upgrade DEN-ORD recently, but needless to say he/she did not get it....(nor did about 15 others on the upgrade list)
