And it really is a hijack.
Rilchiam - I was reading an annotated version of Alice in Wonderland today and one of the notes elaborating on the word “frumious” had a quote from Lewis Carroll in it:
For instance, take the two words “fuming” and “furious.” Make up your mind that you will say both words, but leave it unsettled which you will say first. Now open your mouth and speak. If your thoughts incline ever so little towards " fuming," you will say “fuming-furious;” if they turn, by even a hair’s breadth, towards “furious,” you will say “furious-fuming;” but if you have the rarest of gifts, a perfectly balanced mind, you will say “frumious.”
Supposing that, when Pistol uttered the well-known words–
Under which king, Bezonian? Speak or die!"
Justice Shallow had felt certain that it was either William or Richard, but had not been able to settle which, so that he could not possibly say either name before the other, can it be doubted that, rather than die, he would have gasped out “Rilchiam!”
Is this where your name comes from?

As God is my witness, I thought that turkeys could fly.
Yeah, nothing a little duct tape and evolution can’t fix mobo.
Francesca , that’s precisely where my name comes from! Good observation!
