No, I did not include Kermit. I mean, I'm not giving away FREE drabbles here. Sheesh. Work for it a little, people.

Wow, I was going for "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" (Mark Twain), not the Devil and Daniel Webster. But it is a little flattering to be thought even more pretentious than I actually am.

And I adore pretentious names for small animals too (Oliver Wendell Holmes! You WIN!)

I'm all for pretentiousness. I believe in a healthy fear of the quotidian, after all. :)

(I know, it was an awesome name for him, I just wish he'd worked out.)

Oh man, he didn't? Last I heard you were worried, but I missed the final decision. I'm so sorry.

It's all right, these things happen. It's for the best, I suppose, I'm going to be going to a new school next year and the pup would be here all alone with Adam, and if he had been less high-strung, that wouldn't be an issue, but he was and it was and...yeah. Thanks, I guess would be the appropriate thing to say at this point.

...and how did I just now notice Aristophanes on your list? I liked "The Frogs" okay, but "Lysistrata" is fantastic! You could name him Xanthias, after all, if Aristophanes is not pretentious enough in this instance.

You know, it was really starting to worry me that no-one on my flist had noticed Aristophanes. So, you know, thanks :)

I pinged too quick to good ol' Daniel Webster, methinks.

Have I earned a drabble yet? :-P

Of course!
