FIFTY-SEVEN

[tehpuck]

From Old English, myrige, or maybe Common (Vulgar?) Germanic, murgijaz, which means "short-lasting". Personally, I go with the "short-lasting" bit, it has connotations of "making time fly", or something. It's where you get "mergelijc" from. The 'y' made a "oo" sort of sound, but got hit with Kentish, so you write it with an 'e' and eventually

Girl cat or boy cat?

[tehpuck]

Does it matter?

[reaping_havoc]

I guess not.

Can I be there when you pick one out? Maybe it'll be like the Pied Piper, you can use that pan flute of yours to lure them out of the pet store

[tehpuck]

If you insist...

Oh, I'll even bring the flute your paramour got me.

[reaping_havoc]

Awesome.

My what?

[tehpuck]

'Par', 'by'; 'amour', 'love': Your Arion, George.

[reaping_havoc]

Right, right.

Weird name for him.

[tehpuck]

Would you rather me call him your lover?

[reaping_havoc]

Let's just stick with boyfriend.

[tehpuck]

That sounds so juvenile, you're a woman, he's a man, and you're more than friends.

I hope. Otherwise, oof, how awkward.

[reaping_havoc]

We pretty much are juvenile, Robin.

[tehpuck]

I'm old enough to have known the first Lass, watch it, Georgia.

[reaping_havoc]

..Yeah. But did you? I mean, you've been around for fucking ever, but you can't be in every place at once.

[tehpuck]

If I did, I don't recall; it's likely she didn't even go by that name, at that time.

And, really, if I did, would you want to hear about it?

[reaping_havoc]

..She?

[tehpuck]

Oh, would you rather patrolineal? He, then.
