Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.

BTW, I don't think my brother even knew that tradition and yet, my niece has my mother's first name (Miyako) as her middle name.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, Honey Wheeler should totally be my backup alias.
Oh, and porn star names: Mine is Bunny Beach, which I think is pretty awesome, but my former housemate had the hands-down winner: Fluffy DiPillo.
Those are both excellent!
Fuck Yeah Ryan Gosling is good times. I have a weird soft spot for him, though.

My porn name is Tuffy Parkside, which always struck me more as a plucky, 1940s girl detective.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
I love Hey Girl, or FYRG. So much that my friend and I are constantly saying, "Hey Baby!" to her daughter. Like, "Hey Baby! Are you teething? That's pretty awesome. Want to chew on my hand. That's cool." "Hey Baby! Where'd your sock go? You're really good at losing socks. Good going, baby." And so on.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Pretty Boy Vogler. ...IDEK. That's not a porn name, that's a 30s gangster name. I demand a recount! Second pet = Spiffy Vogler. Third pet, Snooky Vogler.
I think my folks were closet gangsters.
