Don't Let let the Bed Bugs Bite...

Someone thinks they're soooo funny...

Magic Names, Chicken Fingers and Balki

The names in some of these novels and movies about a magical world can be silly.

Kahlan Amnell- It doesn't sound like one would think.

Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander- what a mouthful...

Meriadoc 'Merry' Brandybuck- You'd think its a girl...

Peregrin 'Pippin' Took- Pip pip cheerio...

Merry Pippins... Mary Poppins... hee hee...

Aragorn- Eragon- Aragog....

Grima Wormtongue- yuck....

Faramir...

Eowyn... Eomer...

Grishnakh...

Murtagh- I feel like I might gag...

Galbatorix... Really?

The way I figure- when naming the characters, the author thinks- "Consonant- vowel- double consonant- vowel- and finally one last consonent... There- what a lovely magical name."

I've had a geeky kinda week....

I'm really hungry. I would love some chicken fingers, mashed 'tatoes and corn... It's too bad its 4:30 in the morning and I don't have a car. Or a drivers license.

I think that getting a man that looks like Balki to play as your all terrible villain was a terrible idea.

Halloween...

I love Halloween.

I don't particularly know why I love it.

I just do.

I don't dress up.

I don't go to parties.

I don't go Trick'O'Treating.

I don't worship Satan.

I don't vandalize abandoned buildings.

If you think about it... Halloween is a sad, depressing day. Dan, can you enlighten us on the History of Halloween? Or better yet- write a little story about this house and what happened on the dark, wet night; October 31, 1923?
