I would like to point out that your introduction should have ended using the word "corporeal" and not "corporal," and that the mistake caused me to imagine Daly making spooky noises wearing a very severe beret.

I knew they were different words, but thought they were pronounced the same. WELL THERE'S EGG ON MY FACE.

Chip Dipson and Dip Dopson are pretty good.

However, my personal favorite fake name has always been Chix Diggit. Actually had a WoW character named that at one point, too.

Another story about townies! (probably not that pithy, but non-pithiness is more bearable on forums, right?)

When I was in college a few years ago, my roommate told me this strange story in which she'd been hit on that day by a towny on the way to her 8am class. She's a pretty girl, so the getting hit on wasn't the strange part. Just the fact that it was at 7:45am on a Wednesday. She told him she had a boyfriend, but he wrote down his number and gave it to her anyhow.

Later in the day, a guy friend of mine was talking about being mugged that morning. On his way to his 8am class. By a towny. Who, as an aside, after the mugging, asked the friend where he could score some weed.

Their descriptions and locations matched up. The guy had indeed mugged my friend, walked up the block immediately after, and given his phone number to my roommate. So, I got the two in contact and they were able to call the cops with the mugger/tonwy's phone number.

He probably didn't really meet the Max Fun consensus on the definition of "towny," but still a pretty odd happening.

Sufjan Stevens and The Decemberists? Were you guys just naming things that came to mind?

It's pretty clear what my favorite fake name is. Dukera Yburn!

You fuckers have been reading it wrong all this time.

And I am glad to have just witnessed the beginning of a new segment: Jesse Was Wrong!

Yeah, Siggs have cozies, beers have coozies.

Can we do "Some One Other Than Jordan Was Wrong"?

Bennigan's filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy last summer, and shut down all corporate owned locations. The Brand has since been sold to another company who has stated intentions to re-open a select number of locations, but as far as I've been able to discern, none of them have been reopened yet.

Some franchised locations may still be open, though.

Also, according to Wikipedia, the Addams Family originally started as one-panel New Yorker cartoons, some time around the 1930s. The Munsters, however, were originally conceived of as a cartoon show in the 1940s, before eventually making it to air live-action.

How's this for a "Some One Other Than Jordan Was Wrong" entry--

It was a KNIT COSY for a WATER BOTTLE.

Not a CROCHETED COOZY for a BEER, as JESSE would have you all believe.

That was a triple whammy. And I take offense to the crocheted part-- I'm a knitter, not a hooker.

Who do you think would win in a fight between EPMD and Less Than Jake?

Who do you think would sing the Bennigans Birthday Song better, EPMD or Less Than Jake?

I tell you, I would go to Bennigans on my birthday if either of them sang to me.
