Eightfold Seal of Stasis => Stamp, Nellie

(Am I the only one who thinks that Nellie Stamp is a great name for a music-hall performer? ;) Or any music performer of music, really. Or don't people who go to concerts stamp their feet any more?)

I'm only aware of foot-stamping as a complaint, such as
when the movie doesn't start on time or is out of focus
(yes, youngster, in my day sometimes the person running
the projector had to adjust the focus).

Hmm ... which is why I thought Nellie Stamp is a great name for a music-hall performer. Music-hall is -- as I understand it -- a rowdier place than, say, an opera house or a concert hall. I'd expect people to stamp their feet there, or do other rude things (e.g. shout encouragement, throw orange peels or peanuts etc).

IIRC, people did that when Shakespeare's plays were first performed. ;) The Globe used to be a much earthier place.
