Solo Pay
Received bunches of spam messages today with subject line "Solo Pay." Would've just discarded them, but was struck by the lovely randomly generated names given on the From lines:
- Ecstasy Q. Movingly
- Clinicians K. Lethargy
- Cucumbers B. Calculus
- Boyd R. Exterior
- Celtics G. Prelude
- Assailable I. Postwar
- Operates C. Watchmaker
- Landings U. Discolorations
- Disemboweled F. Breakdowns
- Outvoting H. Snows
- Vegetative R. Leavening
- Satellite H. Hindsight
- Deletion G. Karyn
- Mostly C. Fief
Now I want to use these in a story. Cucumbers B. Calculus is indubitably some relative of Professor Cuthbert Calculus (apparently named Le Professor Tournesol (Sunflower) in the original French?), a nerdy kid with glasses and a pedantic air who designs (in honor of Howard Waldrop's latest Sci Fiction story) soapbox racers; Ecstasy Q. Movingly is of course a star of adult films and a femme fatale; Boyd R. Exterior is our dockworker hero (I just saw On the Waterfront for the first time the other week); Vegetative R. Leavening is a spacey New Age chemist; Satellite H. Hindsight is the brilliant but absentminded professor whose daughter Boyd is in love with. And so on.
Oh, and there are zeppelins, of course.
(David, did you know that that page is the first thing that comes up if you Google for zeppelin moles, without quotes?)
