Analysis: What does a male Future Spey mean?
Lets consider the ramifications point-by-point:
1) Primogenture is established for at least 1 more generation - The Spey's have procured another male heir. Technicaly tho, dynastic succession would fall on Cousin Tyler's shoulders, but more on that later as the reigning Emperor still rules all of Speydom from his castleminium in Fortress Myers, Florida.
2) The Takoma Park Speys will save money on toys - John and Wendy will be first in line to pick over all the treasures that Jimmy and Scotty haven't yet destroyed or Mom hasn't already given away from my halcyon youth. I suggest they claim dibs on all the Bert & Ernie Seasame Street items before I swoop them up for purely selfish nostalgic purposes.
3) We can start the poll for boy baby names - Samanatha Jean Spey will have to wait at least another 9 (or is it 6 now?) months to be christened. Until then the debate rages. Click here for a good jump off.
4) The Spey family name continues - Meh - no big deal. Its a fine name and surely there are worse, but it's not the BEST name. Included in this deal is that Future Spey gets to look forward to the first day his classmates realize his last name rhymes with 'gay'. Good times.
5) Another hungry mouth to feed brought in this Malthusian dystopia called Earth - PSYCHE! The more the merrier, bro!
6) I get a new friend!!!! - I can't wait to start hanging out with (i.e. corrupting) my new friend! Seriously, that's what this is all about. There hasn't been a new Spey in over 5 years and no naturally occuring Spey in 25. Far too long to wait (although we may a new Spey of the 'unnatural' variety soon too - more on that later as well). Hence this nerdy blogobration of Future Spey. Let us rejoice the impending efervecence of life.

Info: When will we see a Future Spey?
Before an adequate response to that question can be tendered, it would be best to examine all pertinent background issues.
Currently in the United States of America there are only 14 Speys in extant. Each of those 14 Speys undoubtedly add other cherished members to their extended families and often the ability to create Future Speys is the consequence of arbitrary and arguably sexist societal customs, we will nonetheless only be focused on those who carry the Spey last name. At least for the time being, with the topic to be revisited in subsequent posts.
That being said, Speys have not proven to be the most successful breeders of the species Homo Sapien. Given four generations in America, the current number of potentially reproductive male Speys stands at four (we are considering all Speys of the Baby Boomer Generation and up to be past the age of reproduction, whether that be technically true or not). So the fate of Future Speys lie in their hands (or loins, if you want to get picky).
Luckily for this blog, The eldest of the Echo-Boommers, Stephen John Spey Jr. and his effervescent wife, Ms Wendy, are expected a child. THAT MEANS WE CAN EXEPECT FUTURE SPEY TO ARRIVE SOMETIME IN THE SPRING OF 2007.
An epochal moment in human history to say the least. Further details about Future Spey remain sketchy but your humble blogger pledges to diligently cover this momentous story from all the angles. Stay tuned.

Info: What is a Future Spey?
A Future Spey is any Spey born to the most recent established generation of Speys, thus propagating the next generation of Speys, or Spey: TNG.
We will be taking a very Pro-Life stance on the existence of Future Speys, considering their lives starting at conception.
