We all come across Dopers’ names that we wonder about. This is the place to inquire, to learn, to share. I’ll start us of with one I had not noticed until just now: **F.Pu-du-he-pa-as** Come on, F.Pu - what’s your story? mmm ---

Well, for anyone curious about mine: “Eke” is my name in Hawaiian, according to a key chain my parents brought me from there on their second honeymoon. “Dolphin” because dolphins were my favorite animal. (Foxes are now.) ---

There was a campus bar on High Street at The Ohio State University called Mean Mr. Mustard’s back in the early 90’s. Any connection? I love the Beatles, I like the sound of Mean Mr. Mustard, and I like the way ‘mmm’ looks as a sign-off to my posts. Win-win-win. > [@WildBlueYonder](#): > > everyone > > I cant keep track of the nasty ones or the nice ones, I find most here nasty. > > Its so nice for that mix > > :dubious: I don’t find most posters nasty, not at all. I do have a hard time, however, keeping tabs on who is who. If you ask me who I had a snarkfest with three days ago, it is very likely that I couldn’t tell you. Probably not a bad thing. mmm ---
