I'll second (or it is third?) Quackers. I like that one, and it seems
appropriate.

While I still like Hearth-Huggers, I'm liking "Old Flames" as much or
more. I'd throw my vote toward that one if others agree.

First choice: Old Flamers
2nd choice: Firelighters
(but then Andrew's "Hearths of Gold" prompted me to
think of "Bleeding Hearths", which, all things considered,
may be too cute.)

I'll go for Donald's Ducks and I can live with Old Flames.
When I think of the Fireplace, I think of all the times Nick and Nat stood
by it and in front of it.

Subject: Re: A faction for fireplace fans
I have found a downside to Old Flames.
The song "My Old Flame."
Specifically, the Peter Lorre-esque version of the song that Spike Jones
did. Because it hasn't stopped running through my head since it was first
suggested!
AAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hugs and Kisses,

Subject: Re: Factions for busts and portraits?
Well, even if no one else leaps at the opportunity, I'm willing to be the
one in a faction of one! I adore LaCroix's bust.... uh. The marble image of
Uncle, that is.
(Not that Nunkie's bust isn't magnificent,.... uh. I should probably stop
digging now. ;^)
But what to name it? That's the rub/polish -- also (along with being busy,
busy, busy at work) why I never did respond to that first email.
Marbleites? Marblites? Both look a bit odd.
It's probably best to stay away from any busty puns....
Cousins of the Statue?
Idol Worshipers?
(How about the Uncarveds for those who think Nick should keep the bust?)
Too Many Ideas,
Cousin 'Chele

Subject: Faction icons
I've just posted three more icons to my LiveJournal blog. All are for small
factions that I had not originally intended to make icons for. For example,
the NickKnack CaddyWhacks aren't as familiar as the CaddyWhackers, so I
figured I'd just do one for the latter. Since I'd done an icon for the more
inclusive Woof Pack, I didn't think I needed to do one for the PerryHounds.
And even Tracy Sue said that it was quite unnecessary to make an icon for
the little Vaq subfaction, Tracy Sue's Whiffle-Bat-of-Doom Legion from Heck.
Nevertheless, in the end, the icons got made! You can see them here:

Subject: Vachon's guitar
The comment about "Fender Benders" is a good one. A charming name, but only
appropriate if Vachon's guitar is, indeed, a Fender.
Does anyone know what make it is?
The screen captures I have never show it clearly. However, I hunted on line
to find a picture that was compatible with everything I could see. If there
are any guitar aficionados on list, you might take a look at the picture I
finally decided to use. (Bottom of the page:
http://greerwatson.livejournal.com/18106.html ) It's probably not the right
one, but at least nothing contradicts what I could see in the screen caps.
