Shame on you, Flannery. You know better.

Yeah, well -- you know that being THAT creative takes a toll on a
person. In Pat's case, it's obviously a toll on his memory.

I love the way you put that last reference, OM -- I think most people
would be surprised at how many things have been named (even formally)
based on such remarks. On the fictional side, there's Larry Niven's
Mount Lookitthat, but in the real world, there are also many examples.
Such as Montevideo in South America -- the word literally means "I see a
mountain," and the port was named because those were the first words out
of the mouth of the bosun (or whatever) who first spied it.
