I can't answer all but I can for a few or best guess.

Regarding Buffy's upcoming book I understand it is to have a bronze cover with a big * on it. Also the original title was called Weekends - Crash and Burn. I understand she is after PL to write a prolog for it.

Regarding JGeoff using the name PORK - he thinks it will help get him 'chicks'

Regarding me using Hot Rod - see above with JGeoff.

Why didn't we give SC a nickname - we fear him.

The kind of Black car PL drives - I understand it is a Yugo - but the upgraded model.
