    We're giving the hurricanes goblin names? Very JRR Tolkien. Ellie approves. :-)

    Shagrat? Iuvar? I don't think there are goblin names for every letter. Only the scary, hard sounding letters. A is usually for pretty names like Aethelflaed (Lady of the Mercians) and Alemenia.

    Well, I didn't say they had to be goblin names ... I said evil names. Use your imagination.

    Oh and if you do a good job ... once I become Grand World Benevolent Tyrant ... you could be the Prime Minister of Naming Evil Storms.

    Tempting isn't it?

    It sounds like you have a very complex bureaucracy planned out, Oh future Grand World Benevolent Tyrant. I still don't think there are any scary sounding names that start with A. Although one of my favorite professors would immediately say "Administrator."

    Dude...there's been some bad wheather down where you guy's are!

    At least you guy's have a sense of humour about it all. I saw some pretty sad photo's on msn. I can't say that I believe everything I read in the media because they have a way of twisting it and well the right and left wings are never balanced out with equality and so there really never is a balanced perspective on issues if you only take what you read and hear from the media.

    I like to hear from the horses mouth so to speak.

    But photo's say a thousand words so they say. And I've seen some depressing photo's today. It's equivilent to what I saw when Katrina hit the coast. Talking about Gustuv or whatever the name is.

    No, no, no. Heckedy Peg. "I'm Heckedy Peg. I've lost my leg. Let me in!" wonderful story, and pictures, by Don and Audrey Wood.

    Higgledypiggledy sound silly, not scary.

    and Heckedy Peg is not "silly?" That didn't really scare me.

    Plus, it's called mockery. I don't think GullyGrim is truly scary evil either.

    Heckedy Peg is an evil witch who is trying to eat a mother's children. She's very scary. You have to read the story to appreciate it fully.

    You didn't say you wanted mocking names...you said you wanted them to conjure images of hell...
