There are six members of my little gang of devil ducks, as I call them. They're named after various people. There are three girls and three boys (a la
Coupling, my favorite sitcom). Here they are.

Pete is named after my dad's best friend. He's the best almost uncle a girl could ever ask for.

Rodney is named after my favorite character from one of my favorite shows,
Stargate Atlantis. On the show, Rodney is a total pain in the ass and very selfish. He's also one of the most brilliant minds in the world and he routinely saves everyone from an imminent death. He's also pretty cute. I should hate him because he's a boorish lout but any boy who is that smart and into astrophysics turns me on to no end. (Admission: I'm a huge particle physics nerd. It's weird; I know. Especially because I never even took physics in school.)

This is Beckett. I know his name is hard to see but you try getting a picture of yellow pen to appear clearly without a manual focus camera. Beckett is named after two people. One is another character from Stargate Atlantis, the sweet Scottish doctor. The other person he's named after is the playwright Beckett because I have to think that any story written about miniature duck toys would totally be up Beckett's alley.

Kelley is named after a friend of mine who loves the color green. She's sweet and incredibly punky in this totally awesome way. She also loves chick lit and vampire novels.

Becca is named after my slightly neurotic but completely wonderful best friend. She's pretty much the best person I've ever met and she has the biggest heart of anyone I know.

Allison is another friend, also a great reader. She is one of the funniest and most wonderful people I've met in a long time. She's really good at finding things to amuse me during the work day.
The real people these characters are named after have nothing to do with the story of the Evils...they were just inspirations. The story is fictional.
I hope you'll follow along with the adventures of the evils!
