One of these days, I’m going to sit my sorry ass down and write The Great American Novel. Never mind the fact that I have no professional writing experience or training, I’m going to produce a book that you’ll need a truss to lift.
So far, I’ve only come up with the names for characters:
Renee Zonts
Tara Kotter
Skip Toudeleaux
Mia Butthertz
Chuckie Arlah*
Anyone else got contributions?

A cow-orker used to call me that in front of our customers, and a couple of them started calling me Mr. Pedasso after that, not realizing that it wasn’t really my name.
Then my father got wind of it and started calling me Stu! Damn you, Daddy! :mad:
