    Seriously. Meyer is a lousy hack compared to Rice.

    RIP, now I’m gonna go eat some rice puffs in her honor.

    From Wikipedia:

    Well, my birth name is Howard Allen because apparently my mother thought it was a good idea to name me Howard. My father’s name was Howard, she wanted to name me after Howard, and she thought it was a very interesting thing to do. She was a bit of a Bohemian, a bit of mad woman, a bit of a genius, and a great deal of a great teacher. And she had the idea that naming a woman Howard was going to give that woman an unusual advantage in the world.

    That still doesn’t explain where “Rice” came from, though.
    Maybe she had the same fondness for it as Mike? “AAAAHH!!! EXTREEEEEEEEMMME… RIIIIIIIIIIICCCE!!!”

    Oh, Rice is her husband’s name. Didn’t realize she was married.
    And that’s enough of me filling up this comment section. >_>
