Zeus is closer to my style of naming.  Mythological or from folk tales/stories (Merlin?).

The settlers of a small town in Indiana named it Gary, after the often criticized and largely unheralded God of Tough Love. Joe Jackson, Indiana resident and devout zealot celebrated the old styled teachings of Gary. It is said that Joe begat many talented children and to keep their primadonna asses in line, instructed them to pick out a switch of their choosing, of which Joe would most righteously thrash down upon their backsides.

Gary, pleased with his disciples efforts, spoke to Joe in dream - encouraging the crane worker to form a musical act comprised of some, but not all of the brothers, but definitely the one inexplicably named Tito. The most defiant of the brothers received the most severe thrashings and it was him whom Gary bestowed upon the most generous of talents. 

Gary, his God Power Ranking (GPR) on a steady decline, took form of a rat and spoke with his young prodigy. He offered fame and fortunes beyond the young boy's wildest dreams. Amusement parks and tiger cages and the elephant man's bones and his own movie where he turns into a Transformer and thwarts Joe Pesci. 

The boy could not refuse this gift, even if it did come at the burden of a high price. Gary, who was rapidly losing worshippers in the 70s mostly due to an ill-advised drug and sex infused cultural revolution, demanded that the boy use the fame and fortune to champion his cause. 

The boy became a man and grew rich and famous and reknowned worldwide. He honored the minor league God's bargain, adorning himself with a single white studded glove of which he would smack the bare bottom of any boy who's mouth doth runneth. 

But something went wrong. Way wrong.

Gary sent a warning message. He lit the boy's hair on fire. The boy ignored the messages and sued Pepsi instead.

Gary took the form of a lawyer and acquired families to hurl allegations at the boy. The boy overcame these legal obstacles, though his public image took a hit.

Gary, his scorn - laughable at best, took form of Corey Feldman and lobbied thinly veiled verbal assaults in attempt to assinate the boy's character. Pictures of Feldman outfitted with a fedora, Ray Bans and a studded leather jacket quickly dismissed his credibility.

The boy, emboldened with his improbable victories, donned a pseudo-fascit military jacket and a breathing mask and dangled his first born from a balcony for the world to see, at once renouncing Gary as his one and true God.

The God, defeated, humiliated and emasculated, did what any decent God would do. He got out of the way. He decreed that he would no longer interfere. He allowed the boy to be the undoing of himself. It is said a thunderstorm on Halloween is the cosmic last laugh at the man who inspired the zombie werewolf dance.

Gary's constellation, the Big Whipper, can be seen over Indiana February skies.

GEEKOUT:

Husbang and I were just talking about how Agent Coulson could very well be alive given what was shown in The Avengers. I am SO STOKED!!! I still can't watch the movie without getting emotional over his "death", even though my toddler wants to watch it on a loop. So...

WOOT! WOOT!!

I watched 5 seasons of The New Adventures of Old Christine for Clark Gregg.  Okay, and Julia-Lois Dreyfus.  Actually, I really liked that show.  But Clark Gregg was the best part.

That's true. It's very taken for granted that he's dead, when . . . well, it's the goddamn Marvel comic-book universe. There's probably some Asgardian magic/tech that can heal him.

Also: Whedon has confirmed that he will star in the upcoming S.H.I.E.L.D. television show.

Alex--plus they never showed him dead, and there was a point made of Nick Fury  exagerrating the details just to get the Avengers to work together.

I don't think you saw my brilliant idea to name him Flash. You are taking on the flash fiction, and it's a good dog name.  "Here Flash, here puppy puppy. Ah, good dog Flash. "  It will give his credibility among the other dogs. A literary name, but a strong alpha-dog name too. He could be proud of a name like Flash. Do it do it.

Somehow, in the shipping, the books seem to have become reversed.  You'll have to read them back to front or hold them in a mirror.

What's that?  Oh... camera did it.  Oh, that makes sense.
