I came up with this while thinking of my apartment: "In a hole, er, apartment which did a marvelous impression of a hole, in downtown, there lived a college hobbit..." I'm considering expanding on this as a possible LotR parody/fanfic. And, when suffering from severe lack of sleep and finally resorting to drinking coffee (ack!), I wrote down an extensive list of character and place names for "Lord of the Beans", a coffee-themed LotR parody.

I've named my rat Dr. Meriadoc Bramwell Livingston (Doc or Mr. Merry for short); my guide dog's in-harness personality is "Ida Gamgee"; and I'm currently researching the possibility of owning a cockatiel, which I plan on naming "Pippin".
