I guess I got "Moomba" mixed up with "Roomba" which is a robotic
vacuum cleaner, and a cause celebre in its own right -- Meanings change over time even when we all speak the same original language. I remember when bad meant wrong and now sometimes it means good or cool. And cool used to mean not warm and now it can mean "old fart who hasnt' learned the new adjective". Sometimes I get so confused...

Indeed what's in a name. Just think about what a name has meant to your
poor Dragon.

You have found a better line with the 'rose by any other name' than the old Bard himself. Makes me a bit suspicious the moom was regularly washed down in rose water or some such. Fun post as usual. This is my favorite post now. It always has something out of the ordinary, fun and likely a tad ridiculous. Keep them coming.
