Pepper

Shall I not have intelligence with the earth? Am I not partly leaves and vegetable mould myself?

~ Henry David Thoreau

I'm glad I'm not named "Pepper." 

No offense to peppers or vegetables, but I don't want to be named after any vegetables or fruits or legumes or anything.

Okay, maybe "Rutabaga Boettcher" is a little catchy.
