alright children, gather around..

any dopers under twelve? are you laughed at/bullied for having unique made-up names in school? (that are not puns, injokes and what nots) i’ll like to know if having a name like ‘Phinneaus’ nowadays will get you any grief in school.

I don’t think kids under 13 are allowed to be part of the Straight Dope.

well i figured they can use their parents’. after all i know we have a number of cat dopers here.

I don’t think cats under 13 are allowed to be part of the Straight Dope, either.

I know my cat posts sometimes when I’m at work, but he’s almost 17, so it’s okay.

But is that in cat years or human years?

I like treats.

Stop it, Rocco. Please get away from the computer. Here’s a toy mouse.

My cat once IMed one of my coworkers with 00000000-.

I was impressed.

I was even more impressed when he destroyed my keyboard with a glass of water. :mad:

my slave is nuts. why spend so much time in front of the light box when it can be spent grooming me?

oh, and i personally have nothing against names, so long as i’m not expected to come running like a dog~.

Ha hahahah! Puny humans! Bow before the awesome might of Scratch Fury, Destroyer of Worlds!!!
