Elvendork

[Catlady (Rita Prince Winston)]

I just read a sig on another list that quoted:

> "Men ever had, and ever will have leave, 
> To coin new words well suited to the age,  
> Words are like Leaves, some wither every year,  
> And every year a younger Race succeeds. "
>                                      -Horace  (65-8 BCE)

I love it!

I am very sorry that this reply seems to have fallen out of the reply
I posted last night.

Carol, it never occurred to me that those were supposed to be the
names of the people they were chasing. I immediately assumed, and
still believe, that they were just random annoying names that James
spouted off to sass the 'please-man'. Look at the way he volunteered
that 'Elvendork' is a name that can be used for a boy or a girl. He
wouldn't have said that if he was thinking 'those blokes' instead of
thinking 'silly names'. And he repeated at the end that Elvendork is a
unisex name. That shows that he was impressed with his (juvenile) wit
at making up such a name.
