Over hear, Fritz are Germans.
I didn't "overhear" anything, actually. Anyway, does this mean that Pommes Fritz are German versions of French chips eaten in England by Australians?

So much so, in fact, that a little light relief along the various lines that you may have observed has not come amiss...

Enjoy the Carter - and the Skryabin...

I think that's it. . . it's what I use for some of my Characters.

I dunno - it's one of those sites that kind of gets you hooked. Well, if you're odd like me, I guess. . . .

You've gotta know him to name him, imho. . . but I haven't read this thread, sooooo. . . *rolls eyes.*

Why not call it Elliott? At least you might be sure that it has an incredibly long and productive life...

Don't call her princess - she might take over the household :o

btw if you choose one of the suggested names here, how will you reward the "winner" ? ;D

 Turangalila would be slightly easier ;) and would leave more time to practice after calling her for breakfast...

Good idea. You could even put it on the piano and it would sound like Elliott too.

I hope you know that phrase is Hawaiian and unspeakably obscene . . .

My old cat, and beloved studio mascot, was named "Flash", although members of my family insisted on calling her "that thing that won't die".

My current cat is called "Mouse" because we caught her in a trap (a racoon trap, actually) and she would scurry away and hide whenever someone entered the room or turned on the lights.

After you keep her a while, something will inspire you and the name will present itself, although I've always thought the word "Vivace" would be a cool name for a cat. Of course, if it's a somewhat lethargic cat that wouldn't make any sense

Well, as I said it is my parents' cat.

After they asked me for suggestions for two weeks, they ignored all my ideas and named the cat Gracie.  Why do I bother? 

Oh well.....at least it's a pretty cat.

Fluffernutter can be a nickname if Gracie rebels against her given name.  :)

Hm.. a cat named after a kind of plastic explosive.  Excellent!

Or a more efficient photosynthetic pathway that fixes carbon dioxide to oxaloacetate, used by corn! Get 2 more cats, and name them C3 and CAM.

Support bacteria. They're the only type of culture some people have.

Most important one for energy solutions is C2 from Rhodobacter Sphaeroides.

My aunt bought two main coons about 10 years ago.  George and Gracie.
George is gone now, but Gracie is still around.
