Essentially, I want us to sound like cavemen.

I'll start:

HomesliceAbe was playing Mario kart and HomesliceAbe's dad couldn't think of name of one of courses (HomesliceAbe thinks name was "Moonview Highway?). HomesliceAbe's dad called course "Homeslice Highway" and HomesliceAbe thought new name was hilarious. Also, HomesliceAbe is big fan of Abraham Lincoln.

Is final iteration of long chain of names. Starts with "Metaqione," a slightly off English phonetic spelling of Italian word for "jester," pronounced as if name were Spanish. Name often shortened to "Meta," which was cool, and then Meta used name as branding for all creations. Then, big corporation decides to change name. And then Meta was pissed, decided that "Metaqione" was too hard to pronounce correctly anyway, and therefore changed name.

"Metaqione" became "Mesaqoraz," a new iteration and chapter. New name had something related to universe and metaphysics, but then Mesaqoraz no remember now. Name "Mesaqoraz" was actually very short-lived, and was not attractive to Mesaqoraz because name was too complicated and hard to remember, which resulted in truncated name "Mesa," but "Mesa" was too common and is real word in many languages, and initials of Mesa's real name were promptly added to front, creating "Delmesa." Because Lemmy new and small, and programming.dev even smaller, "Mesa" was available, which is nickname for Delmesa.

Between liking cats, favoring the colors purple and blue, and enjoying humor based on twisted logic, choosing "Cheshire Cat" as namesake seemed obvious.

Either programming or working on electronics projects or procrastinating on Matrix, Reddit, HN, or Lemmy. Being on Lemmy implies procrastinating on all those things, therefore "nothacking". (Seems to be internet unique too, but not sure due to abundance of people using #nothacking in hashtags)

Owen had serialized dream many years ago in childhood times. New dream chapters kept releasing for many nights. Dream parts were spooky. Owen was scared there, but felt like pain and fear was deserved.

However, when Owen was being pulled back to very scary place from earlier season, Owen chose instead to fight. Creature tried to pull Owen down, but Owen planted feet and pulled against creature. Creature fell into last season's spooky place.

Panting, Owen spoke, "I've been down there."

Weird dream stopped returning. "I've been down there" turned out being series finale.

Years passed. Owen decided to make anagram of "I've been down there."

Owen failed: "Owen Ever Bind Thee" was closest Owen could come to good anagram. Owen got bored of scrambling letters. Chose Owen Everbinde and abandoned attempt at making anagram. Owen's leftover 'T' and 'H' and 'E' will never have home.

I’ve is a contraction - not a word.

'Twas a thing of inspiration undertaken in asking twice Google for random words and combining at syllable boundary.
