goldielocks was indeed mentioned. But the sleepy locks were not. I'll have to have Jon add that one to the list of possibilities. :-)

Sleepy sounds like they might run a bit slow and probably need to sleep... if the locks may end up sleeping due to external conditions then it should be a narcolocksy :-)
