Serendipity Nicknames Assignment Stalling Out?

Until confusion ends over the existence of Pink Puffers with "ins" and "ens" in their names, the assignment of Serendipity nicknames has slowed to a crawl, according to Chief Eagle Foot. Additionally, there is no word yet from the group known as "The Dynamic Duo" -- Laurie Ziech and Mary McCormick -- whether they will accept the sing-songy handles of Laurie Z and Mary McC, or the Zeester and her Seester for short. One more foot name -- Bigfoot -- is up for grabs. Our Lilliputian spy, Ayron, is expected to accept Little Foot as her handle. She's hoping to avoid the injuries which have befallen Hotfoot and Duckfoot.

Further confusing the issue is the email whereabouts of Bini, the exception that proves the rule that everyone needs a nickname. Shani, like Bini, is almost nicknamesque.

Meanwhile, one spy suspect -- Melanie -- gets our emails but apparently runs with another team. She arrived with the nickname Cinnamon. Clarification, please! Our other spy suspect Jen doesn't get our emails because, well, we don't trust spies.

Naming Matt will be a standing agenda item until further notice. No rush on Tammy. She hardly runs any more. Phyllis is enough of a veteran that she either has a nickname or has earned the right to pick her own. We await word.

Tim Who?
