I always read **Argent Towers** as “Agent Towers”, and imagine him looking like [this](http://www.criticalgamers.com/archives/pictures/BondJamesBond.jpg) , and running around doing spy stuff.

I always read **Der Trihs** as “The Thris” and wonder what the heck a “Thris” is, even though I \*know \*it’s just “Red Shirt” backwards.

Also, for the longest time, I for some reason parsed **TubaDiva** as “Tub Diver”, picturing her diving into a bathtub from a great height. Dunno what that was all about.

You got any?
