...that's right. I use it to pick up women.

It's like using the orb of Merlin as a bowling ball or using the Holy Grail as a paperweight.
Hey, somebody has to make sure the species survives, right? :wink:

If I had the holy grail I'd drink Koolaid out of it. I don't even like Koolaid. I'd do it just so I could say "I've drunk Koolaid out of the holy grail! What have you done with your life? Hmm?"

Duffy means either "dark" or "black" in Irish.

Which doesn't describe me or my heart at all.

"Queen of Morning"
Which doesn't make any sense, since it was originally a derivative of 'Robert,' so I think babynamesworld.com is full of lies.

Ah, here we are. 'Bright, shining, bright fame.' Also, of course, a reference to the robin as a bird.

Does it say that the name robin as in the bird stems form the name Robin as given to humans not the other way around? the bird now called a robin was originally known as a redbreast... I know random stuff... sorry...

Hmm...my first name means "grandchild of the ruler, in charge." Though I'm really that much of a leader-type person O_o;

My middle name means either 'admirable' or 'hawk-like' ^^;

And my last name means 'willful and brave' ^^;;; Wow, kinda tough names to live up to.

Nah, it doesn't say. Although I'd always heard it refered to as robin redbreast, with the two names together.

Ha ha. And yes, there's always Robin Hood. I steals organs from the rich and donate to the poor!

No, silly. It's a well known fact that if something can be interpreted smutty, it's probably the correct way to interpret it. :wink:
