In addition to me, there briefly used to be a **Rufus T. Firefly** , but he didn’t re-up in the pay-to-play era. Then there’s **Exapno Mapcase** , Harpo’s reading of the Cyrillic transliteration of his name. For Chico, we’ll make do with that famous Chico line from _Cocoanuts_, **Why A Duck?** Finally, for the fourth Marx Brother, there’s **Zappo** , a longtime poster here who let his membership lapse. **Eve** can certainly be considered part of the family when she’s doing her Margaret Dumont impersonation. ---

Listen Mr., leaving out Max Power is just something that is not done. I know it’s your family, but why in the world would you not want Max Power in your family? Don’t you know you don’t snuggle with Max Power, you strap yourself in and feel the G’s! I guess I can let it slide this time, but next time, I’m really going to write a scathing post about your lack of dedication to “Max” name. 😉 ---

[QUOTE=Freddy the Pig] I tend to get **manduck** confused with **mangeorge** Actually, I always thought **mangeorge** and **mangetout** were identical twins, but maybe together with **manduck** we have triplets.
