All right, I will then.  Please note that these lists will make up generic
names, not particularly spooky or significant ones.  Also, a human (or a
Marshall, at least) has to apply some common sense to get a good-sounding
name out of the tables.  I don't consider these lists complete and would
greatly appreciate feedback and additions.  Especially for Column B.

I have no idea if the formatting will hold up to transmission.  My apologies
if it doesn't.  It should look right in Courier New.

I hope you like it.

Everybody dies.  Whether you die on your feet or on your knees, is entirely
up to you.

Why did the chicken cross the road?
