Poofter is my go-to name. Or Chicken. When I was first playing, my little brother thought that Amarant was some sort of giant chicken man (the red hair being a huge chicken wattle and his long chin/goatee being the beak).
Edit: I've been giving tribute to Chuck? I didn't really like that show, stopped watching after 2 or 3 episodes.

I had a feeling you didn't know what I was talking about when I told you to name him Captain Awesome. I stopped watching Chuck, too, but the name is still great.

Hehe. I totally forgot they pee off the cliff. And you're right in the thick of my favorite songs. Madain Sari, Eiko's Theme, Black Mage Village Theme. Soooooo good.
Great update(s?) as always. You do have a "Dagger" in for Shiny in the first one, though.

Captain Awesome is the nickname for the boyfriend (now husband) of Chuck's sister. Because he always thinks everything is awesome.
And you two should be ashamed for not watching. This last season has been spectacular, and it's at risk of being canceled.

Meh. I gave it a chance. It didn't win me over.
And don't talk to me about 'risk of being canceled'. My favorite show in the last few years was Pushing Daisies, and it was canceled, and they didn't air the last 3 episodes!
And Reaper is getting canceled!
If Breaking Bad gets canceled (doesn't look like it but with my luck...!) then I'm just going to call my TV the "Law & Order Box".
...but I digress from the topic of this post (and forum!).
Alright, well, I guess that makes sense. You can summon eidolons, they can summon eidolons. Where's your horn, though?
Shiny: "I still can't remember everything. Some things
are like they're shrouded in fog. But I do remember one thing...
About ten years ago, an unbelievably huge hurricane hit this
village. That's as far as I remember. That day, I...I was with
my true mother on a little boat, far from the village. There's
a cove behind Pants's house, right? The boat I was on was just
like the one there. It all came back to me when I heard that
song on the boat."
Bowie: "That song is from Madain Sari. That's why nobody else knows it."
[The party walks to the Eidolon Wall.]
Pants: "How did you get to Alexandria? How come you got to be a princess?
How come you don't have a summoner's horn?"
Shiny: "I don't know. But maybe Doctor Tot can tell me. About the lady
who protected me from the storm as the boat lurched about in the
waves... My biological mother, who died on that boat."
Bowie: (The woman she thought was her mother was someone else, and her
true mother was already dead... Shiny has lost two mothers...)
Shiny: "I used to pray every day here, at the Eidolon Wall."
Pants: "You, too?
Shiny: "You pray here, too, Pants? I'm so happy I remembered."
Pants: "Shiny! Welcome home!"
Shiny: "So glad to be back."
So Shiny and Pants pray together, and in the morning the group is gathered at the entrance of Madain Sari.
And then all the moogles freak out and scatter.
"Wait, what? Beggar? You didn't drop any gil when I beat you. Why must you now beg?"
So Bowie does the most logical thing: Offers him a place on the team. If Redhead wants to know what Bowie's really about, he should come along and find out himself.
:whistle: Happiness is just a Flaming Moe away... :whistle:
"Or Flaming. Your choice, really."
Well for the first time we've got more than 4 characters. We can now make a party of our choice. I bring along Bowie (of course, you have to bring him), Vivi, Shiny, and Moe. Pants can carry our stuff, we don't really need two white mages. I toss Moe the Running Shoes. Now our entire party has Auto-Haste.
Ah crap, we didn't accidently stumble into an episode of Bleach, did we?
Up in the sky, they notice the silver dragon. I bet that hot chick is riding it.
Goddamn, this chick is crazy.
Also, I've said it before, but I can't help but mentally hear Kuja's voice as Pegasus's from Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series. If you haven't seen it, check out the first episode or two so then you'll never be able to unhear that voice when you read Kuja's lines. Go on. I'll be here when you get back.
We're given the option of changing party members and equipment. I give Moe the best stuff he can use because I hadn't really equipped him with stuff other than the haste shoes.
A quick jaunt up the vines on the Iifa Tree again (I've done what seems like a lot of backtracking in this section...).
It turns out that no, no one can. At least, Pants, Vivi, and Shiny can't. Moe's very direct though.
He then grabs a kid in each hand and leaps down.
"I'll challenge them to a children's card game!"
"Nah, the war between the Burmecian Lancers and the Alexandrian Behemoths, this football rivalry is getting out of hand yes we mean that war!"
Seriously. You know some stupid kid is going to try it and end up burning his house down.
"Oh I just totally burned them!"
"A forklift was involved. Oh I just totally burned them again!"
Finally, someone who notices how freakishly feminine Kuja looks.
"And bring me those fried Twinkies I asked for!"
Kuja summons some giant bug monsters from the Mist to keep us busy. Easy stuff.
"Mr. Featherkins, let's get this show started!"
That's an uncommon amount of common sense from a Final Fantasy protagonist.
Shiny asks Pants where the eidolon her tribe sealed here was, and after finding out the location, runs off after it. At this point of course, she's not in the party, and we face a few easy battles against the same bug things as we slide down this vine.
It turns out an eidolon that causes huge tidal waves won't be much help. Shiny still has hope though.
Vivi: But we found Queen Brahne on the beach, next to her escape pod. She
could hardly move. And I thought she'd come to a stop any second.
I hate Kuja a lot. But I hate Brahne a lot, too... ...so much that
I wanted this to happen to her. I should be happy, but... Once I
saw Shiny start to cry, I didn't know how I should feel. I kind of
wanted to cry, too...
"It took us forever to drag her up into the boat. My back still hurts."
Actually, Tot spent all night making the wreath himself. The townspeople were too busy partying after they heard the news to get anything done. Hangovers for everyone!
Great as ever. Great ending to a great disc. Things are about to slow right down now... I always really liked how the third disc opened very slowly, almost like the start of the game again.
What you shoulda done was, before the screenshot where he calls himself the Flaming Moe, have a screenshot of the name entry screen, with Homer entered.

How many disks does this game have? Also, I didn't understand your name for this chapter. But it's probably just me.
As Adus said, it's a David Bowie lyric. About half the titles are. Admittedly, it isn't the best fit for the chapter, but I really didn't have much to work with. It doesn't help that I'm not hugely familiar with all his stuff, of course.
Can you get the running shoes or something else with auto-haste at any other point in the game? I forgot to fight that book thing both times you're able to.

Flaming Homo could work. Especially since he seems to be shaping up to try and fit the "honorable emo anti-hero" stereotype.

Just watched that last Sunday. So good. Soooooooo good.
Thank you, BRRRRRRRRROTHER
It's in reverse chronological order, so go back a few pages and then from the last post up.
"Thank goodness for that, am I right? High-five! Vivi? Shiny?"
Well, it's not like he's going to stop you...
That's not really how advice like this usually works, but good try anyway Bowie!
Yeah, Pants! Jeez.
So she decides to join us, fastening the jewel we got back for her into an earring for safe keeping.
"Aww, that's adorable. We should, you know, go stop the guy who is enabling war between countries though."
Alright, you don't have to like No, but you gotta give him/her a little respect. "Boring around here, time to swim home! Fuck you, ocean!"
Bowie hears a familiar song being sung...
What? That's a daft thing to say, where would she be?
Oh.
"I'll have you know I am equally skilled at finding out of the way holes to spend time in."
Something not nice. I thought the name had a nice ring to it.
"What I'm trying to say is that you're dead weight just holding us down."
Then the boat drifts out the cavern slowly
"You know, that song! What was it called? Goddammit I hate when this happens."
They are hearing, of course, the same song Shiny was singing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1wG83LMX9Y
Shiny then passes out on the boat.
Alright, well, I guess that makes sense. You can summon eidolons, they can summon eidolons. Where's your horn, though?
Shiny: "I still can't remember everything. Some things
are like they're shrouded in fog. But I do remember one thing...
