Star Trek ships use warp engines, not hyperdrives.

Sheesh.
Oh, how we danced and we swallowed the night
For it was all ripe for dreaming
Oh, how we danced away all of the lights
We've always been out of our minds

Okay, okay - inspired by this abbreviation-catchword thing, I'm going to make up my own out of my own forum name!  Here it is!

D!  for the devastating power of my bombast!
E!  for the electrifying size of my vocabulary!
E!  for the ever-readiness of my elocution!  ...or just for elocution, I guess...
L!  for ... something.  I dunno.

not quite how that works....

see, ISHMAYL, much like SHAZAM, is an acromyn of the mythological figures from which he draws his powers.

edit- an alliteration would make you AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

yknow, the mysterious guy always refered to by murder victims in horror films?

Huh?  I'm tryin to figure out if that word is supposed to be alliteration (which wouldn't make sense), or il-literation (which is not a word, but would make a slight bit more sense)... Crazy-ass languages!

For finite types, like human beings, getting the mind around the concept of infinity is tough going.  Apparently, the same is true for cows.

Or maybe you meant personification, except that Ishmayl/Ishmael/Ishamael was already a person, so I can't be attributing personal qualities to him...

Maybe I just liked the way the name sounded and chose it with complete disregard to any true reason.  I don't hunt whales...

Oh sure, like I was going to put as much thought into it as the guys at Fawcett Comics.  I can admire Elven's approach without imagining I've got the brains to imitate it.
