In German, funf (with an umlaut...that's 2 dots over the u) means 5, so that's the first thing I thought, 5-point harness. But it's still crazy, like someone got their naming ideas from Ikea
Exactly!!

Really? I remember him being cute and clek's Facebook photos from ABC have a cute guy in them. Maybe they only hire good-looking people.
That would explain why I never got responses to my PMs though.

Is the guy in the photos Chris, the founder?
eta: I just looked through the album and the one caption does say Mike, but I thought I'd heard the Michael who posted here is no longer there. :shrug-shoulders:

So I guess none of the rest of you guys took German as your foreign language in school. LOL!
There are lots of German words that IMO are hard to say with a straight face. You could keep going with the numbers, funf, sechs, (sounds like sex), seiben (long e sound at the beginning)...yeah that was fun in the 8th grade

Yeah, I tried linking to that photo but can't right now. Come to think of it, though, I was never sure if "cute Mike" was the same as Michael. (Can't wait for clek to come across this thread...)

I guess we can be thankful that it's not a six-point harness.
Yes, Chris is the guy now. I think it's a prerequisite to be good-looking to work for that company. It's, hmmm, intimidating to walk into their area at ABC because of all the gorgeousness. Kind of like you must be a little geeky to walk into an Apple store.
Yeah, the Clek guys are all hawt. I think they pick their employees from the Mr. Canada pageant or something.
But seriously. Foonf.
I agree that "Oomlaut" would have been a better name.
I thought the Bugaboo Donkey was bad...

In 6th grade we had a kid in our 6 week French mini class that would ask the teacher what 19 was in French every single day. He thought it sounded like deez nuts. (dix-neuf)

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em? It looks like my kids have really cool names now. I promise, we are MUCH duller than that.
LOL! I had hoped that someone expecting kid #5 could refer to it as foonf in their siggy.

Heehee, once I heard what it meant, I got it, as I do know 1-10 in german. My brother took german. My Uncle was stationed in Germany. And sechs always makes me laugh a bit to myself.
