A slight mod on the one suggestion:  
**JIM: Friend of ELF!**  
**ELFriend Jim**

On a different note: I can’t think of the exact name but someone here can:  
_In A Fish Called Wanda_, her stupid “brother” Otto (don’t call me stupid!) introduced himself to the baliffs wife Wendy as…

Someone help me out here?

As of last night  
\*\*Jersey Poster Child  
BaseBalrog  
What exit?  
Global Worming  
Jim of the Shire  
JRFRANCHI \*\* by apparent request

Promising ones  
Jim Elf-Friend to the list  
maybe Radagastian  
maybe Imladris Denizen  
**Reverend Jim** my favorite TV character of all time. Hopefully \*\*Rev Tim \*\* won’t get upset. Thank you **Shirley Ujest** Don’t call me shirley.

I Promise I Will Start With A Capital Letter This Time.

I like **Red Bank Rocker** but I live in Holmdel as you figured, though at the time I was in Tinton Falls, (my parents house, I was only 18).

> [@Maureen](#):
>
> Well, that works, too. Or maybe **Prophet of the FSM**. Something appropriately lofty. Also the title of one thread kinda tickled me: **Alpha Centauri Pronto**. But that’s probably just because the benadryl I’m taking makes everything funny. **Italian Hosebeast** ; good double entendre, even though Jim is anything but a hosebeast.

Thank you **Maureen** Well it sounds like I made one convert 😃 , so maybe this would work.

So a new working list  
\*\*Jersey Poster Child  
Reverend Jim  
Jim Elf-Friend  
Prophet of the FSM  
BaseBalrog  
What exit?  
Global Worming  
Jim of the Shire  
Joisey Jim  
JRFRANCHI \*\* by apparent request

As an agnostic It feels weird to have 2 psuedo religious ones, but I actually liked Rev Jim’s philosophy of life and the FSM does serve a higher purpose.

I’ll drop some before the voting or modify them a little.

On preview I just saw this

> [@ArchitectChore](#):
>
> **J. R. R. Franchi  
> Middle Earthworm  
> Cafe Sociologist**

I like the first, got me laughing immediately. But I am leaning toward losing the last name.

I’ll start the Voting Thread tomorrow in IMHO with a link back to here and vice versa. Gives me one more night for some good suggestions and a chance to narrow it down.

Thanks again everyone.

Manfredjensenjen.  
Otto: “I’m, uh, Harvey. Manfred… jen… sen… jen”  
Wendy: "My father was in the Secret Service, Mr. Manfredjinsenjen, and I know perfectly well that you don’t keep the general public informed when you are “debriefing KGB defectors in a safe house.”  
Otto: “Oh, no?”  
Wendy: “Not unless you’re irretreivably stupid, no.” 😃

THAT"S IT! Thanks very much. I was going to find my DVD and try to find the scene.
