Actually, right before I grabbed a name, I was talking to a friend about a gig we did back when we had a theater troupe. We were doing swordfights and other pirate-y things to entertain guests at a function. Well, I had to have a radiation treatment that day (long story), and so when I showed up, the first thing I said to my comrades was, “No one touch me today. My sweat is mildly radioactive.”
It was from then on known as the ‘atomic pirate’ show.
But Atomic Pirate just doesn’t sound as fun as ArrMatey!
Because my folks, under the illusion they are cool cats , thought it would be “cute” to name one of their spawn after a daisy. I thought it was dumb until Gore invented the internet and I realized I could use it all over because it is a fairly rare name .
Thank you! I read the Eddie Murphy reference in another thread a couple days ago, and I knew it had to be Buckwheat saying something, but I couldn’t figure out what.
I chose AuntiePam back when I was waiting for one of my four grown children to produce a grandchild. Picture a 60-year-old woman watching friends 20 years younger become grandmas, and impatiently tapping her foot. Where’s mine!
Hubby has grandkids though, and they call me Grandma Pam, so I’m happy. Sigh.
