My username came from a dream I had where I wrote a children’s book about an 8 year old boy that never aged named Nars Glinley. If I actually turned into that, I think it would suck.

Don’t forget all of the monologues you get to make describing your evil plot and the plans you have for disposing of the hero. 😃

I like this part:

She lived in these parts, she was a big old girl  
Miss Annie, what a wonder  
Three hundred pounds and six foot eight, in her bare feet  
Annie Christmas

She could drink and she could fight, she had a curly black moustache  
She was famous, on the river

Not so crazy about the [rest](http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/whistledownthewind/anniechristmas.htm)

You know it. You bring the cakes and I’ll bring the smurfberry ale and we’ll go watch Smurfette “exercise” on the smurfer pole.

I could do all right if I’m not a stray. Except getting coffee would be a bitch. And that neutering thing.

I would have had [a grand old time](http://www.well.com/user/ari/archy/the.song.of.mehitabel.html) but, having been been introduced to the world in 1916 as a lady of a certain age, I will have been a rather dead cat (not THE **Dead Cat** ) since the '20s.

If I was right back then, though, and I’ve been reincarnated, I believe I’d still be hanging around Old Slip–but lounging in one of the high-priced apartments carved out of the old South Street Seaport neighborhood, with organic cat food and the latest in laser toys. I’d probably also be neutered like **Coffeecat**. ☹

but wotthehell wotthehell, toujours gai 😃

Well, my son, who originally said it, would say no change. But he’s a teenager, so what does he know? I think I’d have to be, at a minimum, 30 years older than I am to do justice to the name.

But some days, after dealing with him and his siblings and their bratty friends all day, I might have to agree with him.
