I sing Quiddity Glomfuster to the tune of a cartoon theme song. Buster (a rabbit) - friend of Arthur (the aardvark) has a show on PBS. Tune has kind of a reggae sound: “Where ‘ya goin’ to BUST-ah?” Quiddity GlomFUST-ah… ---

**garygnu** I can’t see it without going throught the whole news intro in my head. “No gnus is good gnus with Gary Gnu…” I then frequently start singing the theme song to _The Great Space Coaster_ . ---

[QUOTE=Alice The Goon] I like to imagine pulling out my sword and proclaiming, “ **Melondeca**!” With a Spanish accent, of course. [/QUOTE] Awww, thanks. I wook up this morning singing **WOOKINPANUB**. I also like **garygnu** , but I frequently say the word gnu (rhymes with canoe). I was going to change my typo, but it is pretty funny. See…it is still in my head. ---

The only one I can think of right now that I say aloud is Pseuditron Ruber Ruber. It has such a Bugs Bunny cartoon sound. ---

Hey **Mbossa** , The episode of W & G is # 16 “Yours, Mine or Ours” from season 1. And if I recall correctly there wasn’t much Karen in it, so you’ve got that going for you, which is nice 🙂 Ahhhhhh yessssss. . . Mombassssssaaaaa ---

[QUOTE=Mbossa] Oh yeah, **rucciface** : Does your name mean anything? If so, what? If I were to tell you that you have the rucciest face I’ve ever seen, would I be complimenting you, insulting you, hitting on you, or spouting utter nonsense? At the moment your name is nonsensical to me, and that’s the way I like it. [/QUOTE] **Mbossa** , it kind of but not really means something that doesn’t make sense to anyone but me, so if you were to tell me that I have the rucciest face you’ve ever seen, you would be spouting utter nonsense that I would find highly complimentary. I’m smiling right now at the thought of it, thanks. Mmmmmmm…bossa! ---

[QUOTE=WOOKINPANUB] In another thread about names someone told me mine squicks them out. I’m assuming it’s the “nub” part. . .? [/QUOTE] \ Guilty as charged. And it’s not the ‘nub’ part, it’s…I don’t know. OTOH, it’s memorable. So memorable that the day before yesterday I was just thinking that I hadn’t seen you post for awhile, at least not in the threads I was reading. And I was hoping you were OK. \ As for out-loud Doper names, **zweisamkeit** is my absolute favourite. Fabulous mouthfeel. I also say **Kotick** and **badbadrubberpiggy** a lot, but both are used as terms of address to my Feline Overlord, rather than saying them for pure pleasure. ---

[QUOTE=Ludovic] I like Quiddity Glomfuster’s name but I always put a “Mc” before the surname – it just seems like there has to be another syllable in there somehow. [/QUOTE] Ha! I do that too. I still like to say Poopa Chalupa, even though he departed us, and this life as well. ☹ My current favs are Big Bad Baby Sweets (I feel like I should stand up and shake my booty), El\_Kabong (ah the remnants of a 70s childhood!), Bambi Hassenpfeffer (more Bugs Bunny), Freudian Push Up Bra (I have a hideous compulsion to grab my own breasts and shove 'em up to HERE) and Hypno-Toad (draw out the O’s). I always feel vaguely dirty when I encounter Stinkpalm, though I’m sure he’s a very nice guy. :dubious: ---

[QUOTE=Gangster Octopus] For me I always love to say **Quiddity Glomfuster** and also **Smapti**. [/QUOTE] The timing of this thread is funny because a couple days ago, while reading the dope I starting repeating the name Quiddity GLomfuster to myself and thought, “gosh, that’s fun to say! I should make a thread about it!” But I didn’t. You did though, so thanks! Quiddity Glomfuster! ---

[QUOTE=Sonia Montdore] **Lissa.** Such a lovely name. [/QUOTE] > [@Beware of Doug](#): > > Lissa. Aw . . . thanks guys. It’s a contraction of my full name, Melissa. As I kid, I never heard my full name unless I was in trouble, and if it was my full name _plus_ my middle name . . . ooh, boy. So, I go by Lissa out of a natural avoidance of hearing the syllables which meant doom. 😃 It’s been a lifelong struggle to keep people from pronouncing it “Lisa.” I’ve actually had people correct me. > [@RoniaBorkason](#): > > I also always see it as Wookie-in-a-pub. This name, and my brain’s stubborn insistance on seeing it incorrectly are the reasons why I came into this thread. (And I also always hear the Star Wars pub music when I see it.) > [@Ellen Cherry](#): > > I still like to say Poopa Chalupa, even though he departed us, and this life as well. What? No way! ---
