A thread on “pornolizing” text reminded me of an email joke sent to me a few months ago. It was a guide to figuring out what your name would be if you ever make porno movies.
For your first name, use the name of your first pet.
For your last name, use your mother’s maiden name.
That means I would be Stretch Widmayer. A buddy of mine would be Peanuts Swineford.
See, the one I heard was, the name of the first pet you ever had, and the name of the first street you remember living on. (Yes, my friends tend to be rather obscure.)
Mine (by that token) would be “Sweetie Egleston.”
By Hugh’s, “Sweetie Burlock.”
By Ultrafilter’s, “Collette Stoneridge.” I dunno, that sounds more like a gack soap opera name to me.
Heh…if I lived 10 miles from here, my name could conceivably be “Collette Lickinghole.” Man, do I love Virginians.
Tommy-smoother than stout-Porter… (stepmother name)
Arthur-sweet and sticky-Carmel
Tommy-little sprout-Brussels.
With the second or third pet I would have at least been a Nero or a Jocko. But it’s still better than Circe Rural Route 1.
How I wish my mother had known of this game when she named my first pet on my behalf… ::sigh::
First pet, Mother’s Maiden Name: Scabby Wilton
Middle Name, Street: Leanne Kay
First Pet, First Street: Scabby Grubb
See, I was introduced to this game by the third version, and we all tried to work out exactly what kind of pornstar would use the name Scabby Grubb. A really demoralized one, I guess. Darn you, Scabby the Cat, and darn the man who decided to name our street after Mr Grubb!!
And I always heard the second formula (middle name / street name) was for your soap opera name. That’d make me Michael Cedarbrook. I like the ring of that… Dr. Michael Cedarbrook.
(oh, and hi by the way… I’m new.)
