Teppy, it's sort of like coming up with a roller derby name. I'll think on it.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Because books.
Consuela, that's great news about your folks. And also a great piece about the shore -- thanks for linking.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
This is the answer: "Microbiology. Infectious diseases. STDs. Chancroid."
There is no nickname I can come up with that she's going to want printed on a t-shirt. (Okay, I'm considering "Infectious T," since her name starts with T.)
I like "Infectious T."

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

That's what I was thinking, too!

Yo, I'm MC Chancroid / and I'm here to say / check that junk out close up before you hit it, okay?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I think Pustulence and Pestilence is just begging to be used as a Regency romance.

Hah! I kind of love this. Though I would also vote for any weird oldtimey nickname for chancroids. (All I can think of is "The Clap", but that's not the right STI, and I dont' remember what the others are called...I'm not even sure if that one is gonnorhea or waht)

Yes! I am slow this morning. Still getting the coffee in me (plumber of course came at exactly 8AM, though since it only took him about 15 minutes, it makes sense)
