How 'bout Blotto? It’s gritty, it’s got street cred; plus I can keep my monogrammed slippers. 😃 ---

My 2-year-old niece is “Chimpy Nuts.” I have no idea what the hell that is. My 10-month-old nephew is The Icepick. I think I’ll call him that tomorrow when I go to Chimpy Nuts’ birthday party tomorrow. ---

Mario “Cupido” Lampone. I have very beautiful eyes and I take every contractman out with a single shot in the heart. ---

I think that I would have to be **Ricky “The Pole”** because of my Polish ancestry (among other things ;)). ---

Hmm, I am supposed to be “The Bishop”? Not being religious, I would tend to get annoyed at that… Sonny Millstone (perhaps with a “the”) would probably be better: Sune (from old Norse “sínr”=“son”) → Sonny Mølgaard (Danish, “millers farm”) → suggestion of toughness and/or preferred modus of execution (tying to a millstone to “sleep with the fishes”) → Millstone… Usually, I just bore people to death, though 🙂 ---

According to the generator, using my real name: Sarah “The Lone Drinker” H -----. Sorry, bubsie, I’m not a drinker. Ain’t my bag. Using my totally under-utilized alias: Lila “Twenty-Eyes” Lette. Nuh-uh. I might wear glasses, but my eyesight is not that bad. Using my much more beautiful, handier imagination: Sarah Elizabeth “Bloody Betty” H-----. Because I bleed like nobody’s business. Shaving my legs is a horrific thing. Maybe Hairy Sairy would be better. Hmm. Using my alias: Lila “Green Hills” Lette. 'Cuz I’ve got green eyes and the body of a fertility goddess.
