My auntie had cats called Wally and Mofo! Shock < Outs self.>

I have a totally rubbish friend who has a python and has not called him Monty, what a wasted fucking opportunity!

When we were deciding on a new name for a rescue cat some of the suggestions from the small DC were: Banana, Brick, Plant Pot, Chicken Nugget etc. When they suggested Cinnamon Sunlight I grabbed it with both hands! Grin
