TV Characters' Initials

Yes, his given name is just B.J. But he was named after his parents Bea and Jay. He wasn’t joking about that.

(Or at least that’s what it says in my big book of MAS*H geekery.)

Wile E Coyote

So he’s wily.

Sure, he’s wily. Heck, his business card says that he’s a super-genius!

But what does his middle initial stand for?

It’s a pun. Say “Wile E” fast and it comes out “WILY.”
So, I guess you could say it doesn’t matter on his. Let’s make one up!
Wile Eclectic

Wile Eduardo

Wile Escobar

Wile Estaban

Wile Estafan

Wile Eustation

Yeah, I got nuthin…

Einstein?

You’ve been whooshed, NoClueBoy.

Not really. Though I figured you knew it, you’d be surprised how many people I’ve seen that don’t know it. When they finally get it, the look on their faces is priceless.

So, I took the woosh bait just in case.

It’s me, it’s me, it’s Ernest T. (Bass)!

So, does that T stand for anything? Or is he Tiberius, too?

My favorite growing up was Sheriff Rosco Peeeeeeeeeeee. Coltrane from The Dukes of Hazzard.

The P. stood for Purvis.

What about J.R. Ewing from “Dallas”?

Roseanne and Dan’s kid is David Jacob Connor.

But what about DJ Tanner?

IIRC, J. R. == John Ross.

Sir Rhosis

Arthur’s (the cartoon aardvark) sister is “D.W.” which stands for Dora Winnifred.

Brian

I know this is a quote from a novel, not from emekthian, but since when does Spock say “what’s with that?”?

I never thought Kermit was saying “T.” I thought he was pronouncing “the” with a long e, as in “Kermit Theeee Frog here…”

^^^That’s from some humorous bit. Spock never said that on screen or in a novel. “Grave mistake” (Kirk was about to be buried by Mitchell and the tombstone read “James R. Kirk”)–get it?

However in one of the old fotonovels they misplaced two words in one of Spock’s “word baloons” and instead os it being “What is it?” it read, “What it is.”

Fellow geeks and I laughed as we imagined Kirk replying, “Right on, bro.”

Sir Rhosis

Donna Jo Tanner.

Gaudere’s Law strikes again.

Doesn’t her law deal with pointing out grammar mistakes, not inversion of words, or word order?

Sir Rhosis

It struck twice, actually.

:smiley:

Fotonovels have word balloons. Unless it’s a story about mimes.
