The Title...

actually comes from a Stephen King book, "The Gunslinger: The drawing of the Three". For some reason the phrase from the book "she's packing LIVE IRON eddie!" (a loaded gun) stuck in my head, and i remember it to this day, it was such a unique phrase. the book, for those who've not read it (please do, and start at the first book "The Gunslinger". read all the way through the 7 books, it's worth it). long story short, a "Gunslinger" (a kind of knight) from another world very similar to ours picks people from our world. one from 1987 and one from 1965. one a heroin junkie, the other a multiple personality disordered handicapped woman (it's better than it sounds actually). the woman has a nice personality and a psychotic one, and the psychotic one has taken over, stolen one of the gunslingers guns, and disappeared waiting to kill the gunslinger and the junkie when they sleep. the junkie has started to fall in love with the nice personality when the gunslinger warns him of the impending danger of the psychotic with the firearm in the above quote. And that's how the name came about...
