I meant to announce this earlier in the week, but events transpired and I wound up in Italy. Lil is going to be joining the ranks of the trainees, as it seems to be the best way to give her what she needs in terms of training.

Suggestions for a trainee name start... now. Don't disappoint me.

Lesee. She's all tough-skin woman, right? Armadillo? Um. Man, Lil's power totally doesn't let to good trainee names at ALL.

Crawfish? It's an Elvis song. Kind of an obscure one, but... hey! HEY! Stitch! No, wait totally bear with me here - okay, he's a little short blue Disney alien, and she's tall and blonde and from Canada, but Canada's TOTALLY like Outer Space, -and- they're super-tough AND they both love Elvis.

You could just cut out the middle man and call her Elvis?

Because Elvis wasn't crazy tough and I dunno that anyone wants a trainee name that'd imply they were gonna die on the pooper?

Elvis died in the toilet? Why did I not know this? (pulls a book out, randomly pokes a finger at a page.) How about Hastur? Who the hell is H.P Lovecraft and why did someone leave this on my bedside table?

Poke fun at me all you wanna but do not, I repeat, do NOT insult the King. I will put so many holes in this place, you'll be shitting spackle for a month, Child.

Dude, I am totally cool with Elvis, I'm just sayin', you might not wanna use it for a trainee name.

Unlike some, I'd never disrespect the King with such blasphemy as taking his name anyway. And the man was crazy tough - he fought in a freaking war.

Dude, for real? He'd have been... wait, Elvis fought in Vietnam!?!? HOLY CRAP.

He didn't fight in Vietnam. He served in Germany and made Sergeant. Shit, google the man so you know something other than he had a heart attack in the bathroom.

Okay, okay, so I totally just went to his wikipedia page.

But he still died in the bathroom.

You're really pushing to re-tile my bathroom, aren't you?

Allegedly died.

There's a going theory that the real Elvis Presley never returned to the US after his stint in the military and continued doing covert work for the government.

You just moved up on my tolerable list.

Why not try out some of the King's songs? Burning Love, Jailhouse Rock, Devil in Disguise?

Thank you, Jennie. A voice of sanity. First one who says Hound Dog is gonna eat my fist, though.

To go along with Jennie's suggestion:

Lyrics to Every Song Elvis Ever Recorded. (http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/balcony/1441/eplyrics.html)

I'm going to suggest Zirconia or Moissanite. Or Bedazzled, if we're looking for an oblique Elvis reference.

Let's see. Canadian, invulnerable, eleventy feet tall...

If I say "Sasquatch" she'll kill me. So, Kyle suggests "Sasquatch".

I'd never remember to answer to it. "Sasquatch" was the name of a guy back home and I don't think Froggy would appreciate it.

Kevlar Lass? Adamantium Amazon? The Canadian Shield?

It may be possible I've had greater than my normal dose of caffeine this morning.

They sound like bad 50s action movies.

Dude, if you're gonna go there, your trainee name could be Nancy Archer.

What? Attack of the 50ft tall woman was totally on AMC a few weeks ago.

We could shorten it to Archer, or Nancy?

Trainee codenames are supposed to be awful but Laurie takes it kinda far. Of course, she's got the -worst codename ever- and it's all her own fault, so maybe it's revenge.

From: [identity profile] x-diamondlil.livejournal.com
Nancy's not even a codename though!

Nancy isn't that bad. Nancy Drew was an awesome fictional detective after all.

Seriously? I'm gonna get stuck with a codename like 'Nancy' aren't I? I don't know if I should be grateful or offended.

Nancy is awesome! It can also be used as a nom de plume (Which I do not know how to spell) should you be feeling all stealthy as it is a perfectly acceptable real name, whereas 'Discharge' is not.

'Stealthy' is a word you can rarely apply to someone of my height. But like I said, I'm not sure I shouldn't be grateful because yeah, 'Discharge' is seriously awful.
