	Torvald adjusted his accent so that is was acute rather than grave,
but he still sounded sepulchral.  At the audition the giant beavers replaced
his tonsils with giant planaria and photographs of mice, but to no avail
or veil.  Thereafter he was always a bridesmaid but never a bride: at
every wedding I attended I saw his haunted expression on some spotty-faced
girl in a bridesmaid's or chambermaid's or chamberpot's outfit is off
to the railroad corral, which is painted a bright coral color to calm the
cattle and placate homosexual cowboys who fancy themselves expert at
exterior design.
	Torvald's sister Mikhail, confused by having been given a boy's
name in honor of cheese blintzes, was never sure of her species.  The
nuns at her conventional convent and coven school (for some were ancient
witches who assumed too much and flawless disguises by magically enclosing
themselves in the skins of innocent nuns; they had a habit of hiding the
Host in their habits and later doing it disrespect) caught her in a
compromising and hilarious position with a rooster, and expelled her; at
the public and pubic school she attended thereafter, guidance counselors
encouraged her confusion and had animal costumes purchased for her at
school-district expense.  The chief counselor defended this by contributing
the revenues from the videotapes to the district's general revenue fund,
allowing students of all levels to be provided with sex coaches, vermiculite,
fetish shoes, thermosetting plastic resins, new brains named Brian, and
pure lard.
	Torvald's cousin Ursula was in fact a she-bear cunningly disguised
as a woman.
	Torvald's uncle, Perspiration McGillicuddy, was actually an actress
specializing in pornographic films.  She had a small cult following of
retroviruses which she cultured in a culture of Communist cells; she was
never without them, not even in the shower.  When Torvald came to visit,
she wore a Howdy-Doody (tm) mask which convinced him that she was his uncle,
generally by a combination of threats, cajoling, electroshock treatments,
major tranquilizers, ankicks in the groin.
	I bought Torvald's estranged wife the identity of a major Hollywood
actress.  Her films about sheet metal are becoming classics already, even
though they have yet to be made.  Banks are extending her credit and free
popcorn poppers in the firm conviction (for manslaughter) that she will
be infamous someday.

I've got about 400 names for things somewhere--hoping to make a book out
of it someday.  (I was thinking bands, but cats will do.)

A few choice examples:

	Tabula Rasta
	Maelstrombudsmanifold
	The Punch-Out-And-Assemble-A-Working-Toaster Album
	Richard Hatch Gets Me Hot
	
Maybe I'll find the rest of it and post it one of these days.  Suggestions

I think you should name it "A beer".  Then when you are looking for
it, you can say things like "Where's 'A beer'?" and confuse everyone.

	Try being an aardvark for an evening.  It's more fun than being
gang-raped by bisexual silicone-rubber monkeys, and if you're from Tonga
you can deduct it as a business expense on your income taximeter taxidermy
taxol return.  The epithelium feels good against your snout, too, and you
can see into the infrared and through people's clothing, not that it does
much good because as an aardvark you find this uninteresting unless they
are infested with lice.
	But all this has a great deal to do with how I met my lost love.
I was a pair of split-crotch rubber panties at the time, on vacation from
my job as Joseph Stalin, and languished in a religious-supply store for
Satanists.  Because the store was in Amsterdam, it was concealed in the
back rooms of a quaint cafe' where the management openly sold marijuana,
marihuana for those who preferred it spelled differently, hashish and
hashisch likewise, and espresso; the last of these was a cause for raids
by the Dutch equivalent of the Environmental Protection Agency, which
occasionally shut the place down.
	One day an old hag came to the shop and bought a dozen black candles,
a photographed autograph of Aleister Crowley, a Salad Shooter (tm) modified
for European currant and blackberry, a grimoire entitled "How to become
your enemies," and me.  She paid for them by vomiting black bile and Cointreau
on the sales clerk, who shrank into a young Shirley Temple and began to
sing "On the Good Ship Lollipop" compulsively whilst doing a striptease.
She burrowed underground and emerged in the attic of a fashion model's
house in Aachen, where she mumbled, scribbled inscribbletions on the walls
and floor in Attic Greek and gutter language learned from the gutter and
garlic press, opened the grimoire, repeated some nonsensical-sounding words,
and changed into an exact copy of the owner of the house.  With me in her
left hand she went downstairs, surprising the woman she now exactly resembled,
and suffocated her using me.  She stripped the corpse although it was already
naked, put me on it, and mumbled something.  I felt my consciousness leave
my form and fill out complicated government forms in a bureaucratic limbo
of limbo-dancing bureaucrats, and when I came to I was in the dead woman's
body, which just afterwards completed a metamorphosis into my usual shape.
	It was love at first sight

Rustaveli (roo - sta - VEH - li). After Shota Rustaveli, medieval Georgian
epic poet, known best for his work Vepisqaosani, or, The Knight in the Tiger's
Skin. The opening lines are enough to make you drool:
 
Romelman shekhmna samqaro zalita mit zlierita,
zegardmo arsni sulita, qvna, zecit monaberita,
 
or better yet, the next stanza, "heh, Gmerto Erto, shen shekhmen..."
(Gmerto Erto means "One God." Sorry, there are gaps in my memory.
 
Advantages: all the nicknames: Rusty (pronounced Roosty), Tavel, Eli, the list
goes on.

How about giving it a Cthulhu Mythos name. You can call it Yog-Sothoth,
which means that when you go outside to call it, you can excuse yourself
with, "Excuse me, I have to go and invoke Yog-Sothoth." If you train it
to respond to "Yog-Sothoth Neblod Zin" you'll raise some eyebrows.

A terrible story, or at least terribly violent story, about one cat,
two mice and a Macintosh.  "Fruitcake!" exclaimed Grandma, "Reindeer
shop at K-Mart!"  The blue lights flashed and whirled into the night.
Police sirens wailed Joe Cocker tunes, and the volcano erupted,
sending streaks of lava down the soapy slopes, down the slopy soaps,
the soppy saps, to the trees.  The trees ignited, sending sparks of 
Anderson across the starry sky and Atilla the Cat sat on her haunches
and laughed at the aliens, who, though they were green and bug-eyed,
could not find the right card in the pack.

	In America, the burden of proof ALWAYS lies with the ACCUSER.
	For good reason, our system assumes innocence until guilt is proven.
