Daily Entertainment.

Suggested topic: What does your character's name mean, either in their canon or in current culture? Does that have any significance on their personality?

Mal: There's the in-canon response from River: "Mal. Bad. In Latin", hence the lj name. I like it a lot because it is vague enough to mess with your head if you think about it too long. Also I am informed that from Star Trek: Enterprise canon, 'Malcolm' is Vulcan for 'serenity'. Which works for me. :D :D :D Also, his middle name is Beauregard, because in like, August of 05, I decided making a Bad-and-Beautiful pun would be funny. Plus it's his father's name, so he doesn't shout it around.

SARAH: Her full designation is 'Self Actuated Residential Automated Habitat'.

Sallie: As of babynames.com, (who did not appreciate the IE spelling =P) Sallie is a diminuative of Sarah, which derives from the Hebrew for princess. This...does not apply to Sallie pretty much in any way.

Ned: Again, another diminuitive. I'm beginning to get amused by this. This is also vaguely significant because Ned, unless you know him already, is almost a non-entity to others. Hence no last name, short first name. No exceptions.

Delysia Lafosse: Didn't even show up. Her real name is Sara Grubb, which Haaa play more or less three Saras, but whatever. Names are very important to D, since she went through the bother of picking a stage name. Just don't tell her that 'fosse' means a pit (as in peach pit).

I'm pretty sure. He probably sits in his office going "lololololool" a lot.

Did you know, when you say "lol" a lot outloud it sounds like "uuuuullllllllll?" :P my friends and I found that out in a car on the way to Orlando XD

...I'm slightly scared by the concept of actually saying 'lol' a lot as opposed to actually laughing.

In our defense, we were very tired. Eight hour drive and we'd all been up since seven am. :P

IT Crowd icon.

...I now must go on a total tangent and profess my completely ridiculous and nerdy love.

Oh I've got more. ;)

:P

Basically, my brother and I discovered this show last year and watched them all and cried we laughed so hard. We often quote it at each other.

I need to find where I saved my AVIs... I've not watched it in forever.
