@ojiikun#1 According to the “Lyorn Records” website, Aliera the person was named after Aliera the character; no citation, though. _Jhereg_ was published in 1983, which strongly implies it was written before August, 1982.

But but… I *want* it! Have your considered the high, high benefits of giving it to me for my birthday? I mean really thought about it.

A) You’d get to wear other hats more often. Which is important because I think they’re starting to feel neglected. No one wants that.

B) I look spiffy in it. I’m a fragile flower and need the ego boost.

C) Dad could go back to having the most impressive hat in the house. He’s a fragile flower and needs the ego boost.

D) I look *really* spiffy in it.

I think when you’ve looked at all the facts you’ll realize that the only option left is to send the hat express mail. Thank you for your time.

Thanks for the birthday wishes. :)

Happy birthday to you both. No, Aliera, you STILL can’t have my hat.

Thanks Dad! God, I can’t wait ’till I can drink. It sure looks like fun!

Seriously though, ship the single malt.

after this, he will have to feign being suitably amazed when his daughters invite him to see his grandchildren.

He’s joking about the drinking, or at least that’s how I read it.

Happy Birthday wishes to them!

Same conclusion, different presentation.

Steve, I think you slipped a decade in your drinking-age calculation.
