In '55, the Ford Motor Company, failing to divine a name for their new car, requested the help of prize-winning poet Marianne Moore. The resulting flurry of names, while all rejected, make for amazing motor-carriage titles.

The car, eventually, was christened 'Edsel' - it then flopped, and became a symbol of economic failure. Perhaps, while unsuccessful with Ford, Moore's names might have felt more at home with Coupris. A selection:

Uncle, how to get to the beautiful country? by Xiaoyu Wang

it's kinda comforting to me when my friends are a little annoying or longwinded or abrasive or tired and inarticulate, or they don't do the exact politest thing in every interaction, and stuff, because I know I'm sometimes annoying, or take up a more than my share of conversational space, or forget to ask them questions, etc etc, and... like, I'm always working to be nice to my friends and to get better and better at friend-ing, but it just makes me feel more human about it :}

anyway I love you friends plz know I'm not counting, in fact I feel great affection toward you even (especially) when conversations go less than Perfectly Ideal
