To Walrus, Penguin, and the devs

I think Walrus picked his name from the story The Walrus and the Carpenter.  Which is basically about religion and the blinding of the masses.  And i know Mad Hatter is from Alice in Wonderland. 

Yea and rarebit =rabbit.

That's broiled cheese on toast, thank you.

*cough*

Nice didnt know that=p

Darn you, Anubis!

I was goign to ask this in the "Ask a Dev" thread the next time I got a chance.  But I suppose it's better off in it's own thread.

I know Serenity is named such because he/she is a big fan of Joss Whedon's Serenity/Firefly series.  Said so himself a while back.

The ones I'm most interested in knowing their choices of name is Oar and Archon.  And I want to know if the latter is a big ball of pure energy a la StarCraft. Or if he's just a fan.

My name comes from a variety of places... my afinity with the orient is one (my name can be translated as "Dragon" in japanese), my addiction to fighting games is another inspiration - Street Fighter 2 rules all.

Indeed my friend...  Indeed.:smileyvery-happy:

The Walrus and the Carpenter

The sun was shining on the sea,
 Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
 The billows smooth and bright --
And this was odd, because it was
 The middle of the night.

The moon was shining sulkily,
 Because she thought the sun
Had got no business to be there
 After the day was done --
'It's very rude of him.' she said,
 'To come and spoil the fun!'

The sea was wet as wet could be,
 The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud, because
 No cloud was in the sky:
No birds were flying overhead --
 There were no birds to fly.

The Walrus and the Carpenter
 Were walking close at hand:
They wept like anything to see
 Such quantities of sand:
'If this were only cleared away,'
 They said, 'it would be grand.'

'If seven maids with seven mops
 Swept it for half a year,
Do you suppose,' the Walrus said,
 'That they could get it clear?'
'I doubt it,' said the Carpenter,
 And shed a bitter tear.

'O Oysters, come and walk with us!
 The Walrus did beseech.
'A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk,
 Along the briny beach:
We cannot do with more than four,
 To give a hand to each.'

The eldest Oyster looked at him,
 But never a word he said:
The eldest Oyster winked his eye,
 And shook his heavy head --
Meaning to say he did not choose
 To leave the oyster-bed.

Out four young Oysters hurried up.
 All eager for the treat:
Their coats were brushed, their faces washed,
 Their shoes were clean and neat --
And this was odd, because, you know,
 They hadn't any feet.

Four other Oysters followed them,
 And yet another four;
And thick and fast they came at last,
 And more, and more, and more --
All hopping through the frothy waves,
 And scrambling to the shore.

The Walrus and the Carpenter
 Walked on a mile or so,
And then they rested on a rock
 Conveniently low:
And all the little Oysters stood
 And waited in a row.

'The time has come,' the Walrus said,
 'To talk of many things:
Of shoes -- and ships -- and sealing wax --
 Of cabbages -- and kings --
And why the sea is boiling hot --
 And whether pigs have wings.'

'But wait a bit,' the Oysters cried,
 'Before we have our chat;
For some of us are out of breath,
 And all of us are fat!'
'No hurry!' said the Carpenter.
 They thanked him much for that.

'A loaf of bread,' the Walrus said,
 'Is what we chiefly need:
Pepper and vinegar besides
 Are very good indeed --
Now, if you're ready, Oysters dear,
 We can begin to feed.'

'But not on us!' the Oysters cried,
 Turning a little blue.
'After such kindness, that would be
 A dismal thing to do!'
'The night is fine,' the Walrus said,
 'Do you admire the view?'

'It was so kind of you to come!
 And you are very nice!'
The Carpenter said nothing but
 'Cut us another slice-
I wish you were not quite so deaf-
 I've had to ask you twice!'

'It seems a shame,' the Walrus said,
 'To play them such a trick.
After we've brought them out so far,
 And made them trot so quick!'
The Carpenter said nothing but
 'The butter's spread too thick!'

'I weep for you,'the Walrus said:
 'I deeply sympathize.'
With sobs and tears he sorted out
 Those of the largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
 Before his streaming eyes.

'O Oysters,' said the Carpenter,
 'You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?'
 But answer came there none --
And this was scarcely odd, because
 They'd eaten every one.

 -- Lewis Carroll

Heh, mine comes from a character in a novel I'm writing...

I think someone already figured mine out elsewhere -- it's from something the Architect said. You know, Larry the Architect!
