Hicc-UP

I'm sure at least one of you wondered, why on earth was the team Hiccups called Hiccups? Well, I'm also sure some of you assumed it was a random choice that signified nothing but randomness. Well, the people who assumed that are wrong. Hiccups actually originated from somewhere, my brother's bedroom actually.

So, I still play legos. My brother and I both had a group army of those plastic figurine things. They didn't really serve any purpose in what we were doing, since we were just creating a building and trying to see who's building was better. Anyway, at the time I had a very violent case of hiccups. I mean, VERY violent case. I would, like, shiver every time I hiccuped, and I'd upset the cat who was sleeping nearby. So, considering my serious condition, I named my team of legos "Oh God, Please Get Rid of my Hiccups". A couple days later (I forget why) we had another occasion to choose team names in the household, and I indeed had hiccups once again. So my team had that same name of "Oh God, Please Get Rid of My Hiccups." Of course, it was a mouthful to say, so it was shortened to "Hiccups."

So then Thundy and I got together for an alliance. Coincidentally, I had hiccups that night... I preceded to suggest that our team name be "Oh God, Please Get Rid of Our Hiccups" but it was a bit lengthy, so it was shortened to it's nickname "Hiccups".

Tada!
