| Why Pond Water? No, this isn't a nature organization. No, I'm not in a mental institution (also that could ne debated.) This is a website designed for fun, fanfiction, and anything else that begins with the letter "f"... Wait... Nevermind. Make that "fun, fanfiction, and stuff like that." I refuse to make this site unfriendly to the masses. Ha. But why this title? Why not something else? Well, if you didn't already know, a nickname of mine is Ponder Stibbons from Discworld. "So what?" you might ask. "What the heck does 'Pond Water' mean?" Well, thanks to one of the best Discworld fanfics I have ever read by Am-Chau and Raven called A Most Unlikely Family, you have your answer...: Rosie smiled. "It's a boy." Neville seemed to be trying to nod. "What's his name?" she asked gently. "I� ugh, I'm drunk. Drunk as aaaaneeewt," Neville slurred. "Drunk� noot� huh� ditch wa'er. Mebbe pond wa'er. Pond. Ponder�" Rosie grabbed the only part of that which seemed plausible. "Ponder? His name's Ponder?" ~~~ "Never mind that now," Rosie told him, slightly sharper than she'd intended. "Sandra's taken the boy�Ponder�over to UU, to the girl she knows there�" "What's her name?" "Sandra?" "No, the girl." "I'm not sure. Mary Stibbons, I think. Something dull Stibbons, anyway, or maybe Gibbons. Jane? Judith? Susan? One of those. Does it matter?" -- A Most Unlikely Family Anyhow, there you have it. That's- supposedly- the origin of Ponder's name. Supposedly. And that's my answer. Happy now? - Sirius Orion Black II (and Ponder =P) |
