Yeah, these are all okay, but none are as great as Yuri Testikov, the Russian writer.

Or what if Ragnar had been given a cool nickname, like T-Bone.

Or if Dagney could have zinged James Taggart with a few good comeback lines, like "Yeah, well the exploding locomotive store called and they're running out of you!"
