We already have [Mr. Excellent’s Post-Apocalyptic Earl Grey](http://redlodgebooks.com/teabar/store.php?id=BTB119) for a touch of Straight Dopiness. I am going to have to see if I can work Weird Earl into a future blend, though. ---

Dorian Grey sounds good, but has negative connotations; like others in this thread, I like Dame Grey, it just sounds right.
