    Were there ever any nicknames given to any of the Harringtons?

    If so, I hope they were along the lines of "Sally" instead of ...um ... "Hairy."

    "Hairy Harrington" just sounds so ... disrespectfully lewd err crude.

    Hmm, Fast forward to the 1960s PD Raoul names his son, Moonunit Harrington.

    A crossover Fan-Fic where a Star Wars Wookie comes to the Honorverse, "Harry and the Harringtons."

    Raoul's treecat's new name, "Leg-Humper."

    Poker :lol:

    I'm sure that all of the Harrington class have knicknames except for one -- I can't imagine any Grayson thinking or allowing any knickname for the GNS Honor Harrington that was in any way derogatory; they might go so far as to refer to the ship as "Milady" but never as just "the Harrington."

    Answers! I got lots of answers!

    (Now if I could just find the right questions.)

    That could infer a Freudian slip of sorts ...
    "May I board Milady?"
    :o :oops:

    That could get you a royal armsman's beating, if he weren't privy to the nickname. :lol:

    I wonder if man has found the source of the "Andromeda Strain."

    cthia wrote:A treecat, hexapuma, peak bear and a gremlin became friends after the Yawata strike, vowing to avenge their fallen comrades should the two-legs ever reveal the face of the enemy. They vowed to live together in this unlikely band of heroes and had set up home deep in an uncharted Sphinx forest with plenty to hunt surrounded by beautiful acreages of wild celery patches.

    Their friendship became deep and they often argued over who's the toughest.

    "I'm the baddest mother-freakin' killer on the face o' the planet and ye all know it," said the hexapuma.

    "Hrmmph, I'd have you for lunch and be pickin' ma teeth while starin' at Gremly over there," growled the peak bear.

    "It's after midnite y'all, don't mess with Gremly after midnite," the Gremlin snarled."

    Having said their peace they all turned to the unspoken treecat.

    "Ok then," flattening his ears, "I'd kill all of you bitches for tearing up my celery patch! WHAT!"

    Cthia wrote:Treecat: "Hey Hexy. You Pumas really are some tough SOBs. How do you train?"

    Peak Bear, Gremlin: "Yea, how do you train?"

    Hexapuma: "When a Puma turns adult, we dress him as a Marine, apply camouflage to his body and take him to a bar."

    "Huh," answers the crowd.

    Hexapuma: "Sooner or later this human called a Harkness always comes in. Seems waving dress blues in front of that SOB is worst than waving red in front of a bull. You may survive the horns. But you're sure to get trampled and stomped. That's a nasty mean fucking critter. Trained many a Puma. The ones that survived the encounter anyway."

    Revisiting this unlikely band of vigilantes...

    "Oh no, I knew we shouldn't have gone off all half-cocked looking for the MAlign. Now we're surrounded by all of these mean looking genetically engineered creatures. What are we going to do now?" asked the Gremlin.

    Somehow finding himself the leader of this outnumbered army of four, the treecat quickly found an answer. He turned to the healthy hexapuma and cut him fiercely with his claws. The peak bear, ever trusting the treecat, did the same, further injuring the strongest of their own ally.

    Before the befuddled and panicked Gremlin could complain, behind his back there was a huge commotion and screaming. When the Gremlin turned around, the hexapuma had killed all of the Crazy 88.

    "What happened?" asked the Gremlin.

    "There's nothing more dangerous than a wounded hexapuma," said the treecat.

    "Damn straight," said the peak bear recalling a similar experience.
