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

A woman named Marijuana Pepsi Jackson
Sawyer’s aunt, Mayetta Jackson of Chicago, clearly remembers when the name was picked in 1972. The newborn’s mother and father were products of the post-Woodstock era when reefer was rampant.
“And they would cool off with a Pepsi,” she said, which makes you think it’s lucky for Sawyer that it wasn’t Coke instead. “I thought it was crazy,” her aunt said about the name, “but they were such fun-loving people that it suited them.”
She gives a surprising amount of credit to her mother for making her resilient and resourceful. “She instilled in me that fighting attitude – never take no, you can do anything,” Sawyer said.
By high school, her name was cool to many. “They were like, ‘Oh yeah. Man, I wish I had your name. I love that. I’m going to name my kid after you.’ I hear that so much and I go, Lord, please don’t do that to that child.”

I first read "Bing Crosby" as "Bill Cosby" and wondered that he had a wine cellar back in 1960....

Sept. 24, 1960: First Nuclear Carrier, USS Enterprise, Launched
1960: USS Enterprise, the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, is launched in Newport News, Virginia. CVN-65, nicknamed Big E, was the first carrier of its kind, powered solely by its eight nuclear reactors.
Oddly, the picture in the article is of the WWII carrier Enterprise (CV6), not the nuclear-powered one.
The Enterprise is the eighth ship to bear the name Enterprise — not counting the ones in the fictional Star Trek universe. (Sorry, fanboys. Those are fictional.) The real Enterprise became the oldest active ship in the U.S Navy when USS Kitty Hawk was decommissioned May 12, 2009.
The Enterprise is currently slated to be decommissioned in 2013, according to the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2010. This comes on the heels of a $662 million refurbishing in April 2010 — 46 percent over budget. Only two more 6-month deployments are planned for the Enterprise.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm still on the verge of tears (night time, why must you do me so?), but it's not like I have a choice of going in or not.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Many sympathies, sarameg and family.
