Cast of thousands (well, the first few)

As if proof were needed that blogs are little more than a parking spot for useless information ...

I have occasionally had fictitious names pop into my head, usually involving what only I think is a cute play on words. It was while wading through piles of papers in our living room that I came across a short list of such names. I have been keeping a separate account in the Notepad section of my cell phone. Herewith a starter set of such fictitious names.

• Holling DeBry (Hauling debris)
• Yábada Bedú (Yabba Dabba Doo)
• Furwad al-Qitti
• Charmelle Shake (Sharm el-Sheikh)
• Perry Tonaitis (Peritonitis)
• Chuck Guzel / Chuck Goozell (çok güzel, Turkish for "Everything's good")
• Wythe Longface / Wyeth Longface (Why the Long Face?)
• Peter "Pete" Bog
• Ed Memoir (aide-mémoire)
• Ceil Antreaux (cilantro)
• Howie Doohan (how're we doin'?)
