They skip q, u, x, y, and z in the naming scheme.
(Hugely x-posty, natch. Or should that be alpha-posty, since the alphabet ends after W.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And super-lamely, the next one would be Alpha. Why not Aaron? And then, um Bbob.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Sophia Brooks - my cat used to do that. But she'd only suck my neck. I've no idea. She'd go nuts over it.
And then she jumped out the window of my flat.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Okay, Hurricane Zod would sort of be awesome. Especially if it roared onto land and yelled "Kneel before Zod!"

Ack! How terrible. This just reaffirms my paranoia about windows.

OK, which airlines are going under ? I hate searching fares. Too many choices, so many of them bad.

Delta is in backruptcy. United, too? I'm not sure.

Our wings are not tired.
After reading the extended meteorlogical stuff I'm hoping for a weakening before I have to make a decision.
However...despite the favorable large scale environment...Wilma is near its maximum potential intensity and further strengthening is not anticipated. Most likely...the small eye will collapse followed by slight weakening or some fluctuations in intensity. Eyewall replacement cycles will likely control the intensity for the next 2 to 3 days while the hurricane is over the northwestern Caribbean Sea. Thereafter...once Wilma reaches the southeastern Gulf of Mexico and encounters the westerlies and high shear...weakening should begin.
My mother (in NY at the moment) lives in a manufactured home right in the projected path on the west coast. I am about to call her and ask her for a list of stuff she wants removed. I don't want to upset her, but I'd rather err on the side of caution here. We'll be heading over to help sis and bro board up.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
