Naming the organization


"Katnip!"

"Yes, Uncle?"

"What's on my agenda for today?"

"One minute, Uncle.  Let me consult your planner.  Okay, here we are...

Today, from 9 to 10--breakfast.  
From 10 to noon--catnap in sunny windowsill.  
From noon to 1--lunch.  
From 1 to 3--catnap in sunny windowsill.
From 3 to 4--brainstorm name for evil organization.  
From 4 to 6--catnap in sunny windowsill.
And finally, from 6 to 7--dinner."

"Hmm.  That brainstorming session just cuts the whole afternoon in half.  Let's do it now and get it out of the way."

"As you wish, Uncle."


"So....a name for our evil organization, eh?"

"Yes, Uncle.  As you know, the dogs have named their organization P.O.U.N.D.--Pooches Organized for United National Defense."

"Hmmph.  Hardly impressive.  We can do better than that, Niece.  Something devastatingly clever and menacing.  Something that strikes fear into the hearts of our enemies."

"Yes, Uncle."

"What do you think of the acronym M.E.O.W.?"

"Brilliant, Uncle.  But...what would the letters stand for?"

"Well, the E and the O would stand for 'Evil' and 'Organization,' obviously."

"What about the M?"

"Hmmm...Perhaps an additional adjective that emphasizes our evilness.  Maleficent?  No, we're not Disney villains.  Malicious?  No, sounds too much like 'delicious.'  Malevolent!  Yes, I like that one.  Malevolent it is."

"Excellent choice, Uncle."

"Thank you, Niece.  So.  Malevolent Evil Organization of...uh....Whatever."

"Whatever?"

"Yes.  Whatever.  We are an all-purpose evil organization.  Whatever's evil, we do it." 

"Err...okay, Uncle.  You're the boss."

"Excellent!  Well then, Niece, I'm off to that sunny windowsill.  You know where to find me if you need me..."

  1. Katnip, you are a great assistant. I hope Baron pays you well. If not, ask for a raise.

  4. I'm thinking P.O.U.N.D. operatives might want to be confiscating all the catnip they can find...
