    Overheard conversation at Chez Boca about the possible names for a feral
                            lizard on the back porch
                                        
“You remember that lizard on the back porch?”

“The one you decided to keep as a pet?”

“Yes. I'm trying to come up with a name for him.”

“Godzilla.”

“That's actually my forth choice. My first choice is ‘Elliot.’”

“‘Elliot?’”

“From ‘Pete's Dragon [1].” Or ‘Smaug [2].’”

“What about ‘Eddie [3]?’”

“Sigh. I hate your creativity.”

“So ‘Eddie” is it, then?”

“Yes.”
