Boann .........myth of the Irish water-goddess
Legend has it that once the Irish river Boyne did not exist. Instead, there was only a well, surrounded and overhung by nine hazel-trees bearing the sacred crimson hazel-nuts of wisdom. No mortal humans, and no gods, not even the highest gods, were allowed to eat the hazel-nuts. Only the salmon living in the holy well were given this privilege, and as the nuts fell into the water, the salmon would eat them and immediately know all things.
Only Boann, a curious goddess, dared to approach the sacred well, and as she did so, the waters roiled and rose up, overflowing the pool and rushing at Boann in mighty waves. Boann ran swiftly and escaped, but the waters continued to rush out upon the land, creating the river Boyne, named after the lady Boann.
The wise salmon were washed out of their well by this catastrophe and to this day, they swim up and downstream searching in vain for their hazel-nuts.

I just explained this in the D&D thread...
Lorizael Lomaut the elven conjurer and master of the Grease spell was one of my first characters and by far my favorite. He had so many uses for the grease spell that he... created his own version! And he was the elf in the adventuring group: The Druid, The Elf, and The Dog.

You are so anti-america that having a conversation with you would be poinless. You may or maynot feel you are an enemy of the United States, I don't care either way. However if I still worked for the Goverment I would turn over your e-mail address to my bosses and what ever happen, happens.

Khyron, the mad mad mad mad mad Zentraedi from the Macross saga of Robotech. Diplomat? Nah. Strategist? Bah! But that cape...the super-high collar...and that ever-so-cheeky insubordinate air about him.

Well I first met Faboba in the spring of '99. I was very drunk and he was being tried for attempted murder. A short jail break later he told me I could have either the name or the money he'd extorted from various elderly people during his life of crime.
I made my choice and I stick by it.

Well... It kind of sounded feminine and powerful, so I used it.
It is from a line in a remix of Madonna's - "Erotica." It was sold as a CD in her Sex Book, and I really liked the line.
