Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

>I wondered what had happened between Mossimo and Eleanor to make them go from unusual to traditional.

Mossimo just says Target to me, which is too bad...

Possibly this is what happened.

Were they Italian-speaking? Googling tells me that some websites consider the name Mossimo to be Australian, which is weird. Also I found this site: [link] which states: "Names with similar statistics to Mossimo: Spock, Carrot, Bungle, Rodolfo..." WTF? But I love those names for a bizarro sibling set.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Happy Birthday, Big Bird!

Celebrating Big Bird’s (41st) Sixth Birthday

Big Bird is always six.

The costume itself is partially assembled by American & Fancy Feather. Because 90% of the feathers selected for the costume are rejected, the company’s owner, Anthony Trento, says Big Bird is his toughest customer.

They were, as far as I could tell, mutt Americans, but Dad wasn't there, and I didn't get a last name. Mom was Laura.

Of course, my kid's name is Greek and we aren't, so.

Because books.

Sounds like Mossimo could be named for someone on one side, and Eleanor and Leo for people on the other. Still, what on earth do you call Mossimo for short?!

There are neighborhood kids in my hood named Lake and Bird. "Moss" would fit right in!

Perkins, the answer is no. I only see it in Switzerland - I can try an ILL if you want me to.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My sister and my backup names were Greek. Instead they went Spanish and Yoruba.
