Well, actually Val is Valkyrie, one of the Defenders. Great semi-Thor knockoff.

"Val" is a sleazy, cheap, chavvy laundromat owner who incessantly chews gum, who invites every equally disgusting specimen that enters her presence to an evening of herpes and cans Tesco Value Red Wine in her tiny flat upstairs. Or at least, that's what the name implies to me. And I still don't get the joke

You need to be a Pokemon fan to get the joke. Flattened cat+no nose=Meowth.

Val is a Sluggy Freelance character first, an abbreviation for "value" second, and the Vulcan equivalent of HAL third.
Hey Valium, how do you like "CV"?

Funny, I think "CV" and my mind immediately mutates it into "SeaBee," those little yellow shuttlecraft from the Trek movies.

@Zeke: CV is fine, provided it isn't used possessively.

This is, apparently, a joke which doesn't lend itself easily to the shortcut of a quick Googling.

I thought Sa'ar's joke was that the story of Valium's life was "used possessively."
Nate, you've reminded me of a somewhat different Latin phrase: "sum quod eris", found on tombstones. It means "I am what you will be."

I forget the Latin for it, but "never speak ill of the dead" is a good thing to say if someone is giving you a hard time about your ill-advised drinking the night before.
I bet it was even used by hungover Romans. Or maybe the slaves on barf cleanup duty. *shudder*
