And I bet he stops after two children.

or doesnt' have any at all!

how does mrs. red dog feel about naming her children after someone she's never met?

not actually broached that yet. Bit of a loose end with the plan. I worse happens can always pretend that Uncles real name is Daisy or whatever. I think I'm covered by the 5th rule of comedy here.

*plays straight ghost*
5th rule of comedy?


BTW, in rl, fact: a Texas Governer whose last name was Hogg named his boy "Yura" and his girl, "Ima". We learned about it in history class.
I guess he can't do worse than that.
If Mrs. Red balks he can always get a trio of puppies and name them
after UH.

Arrgghhh - 5th rule of comedy came up in the wacky race thread somewhere. I think it meant that real life can be deliberately twisted and altered for comedic effect or something like that. I sort of meant it in this context that I could plead the 5th amendment (thats the right one isnt it - where you can stay silent as you might indict yourself by your own testimony).

On the other hand I might just be confused !

so you dont want to name your child studmuffin? well, thats the plans for the red dog memorial statue in my room out the window. now its a red dog themed dartboard...

no personaly i'm quite happy with studmuffin .... although it seems to be more suited to a surname "we'd better invite the Stud-Muffins to the party darling" and that sort of thing.

Just ned to work out a cunning plan to convince Mrs Red Dog of the merits thats all.

...... how big is this stautue then. pretty bludy imposing i bet eh

If Red Dog has two sons, it's going
to seem strange for a while to have them
named "Uncle" and "Heavy." Eventually,
if the one named "Uncle" becomes a fighter,
he can tell his opponent to "Say 'Uncle',"
and then it'll be all right. "Heavy"
makes little sense as a proper name, so the
kid will probably have to go by his middle name...

Nah, Heavy will be fine.
He was always in "The Young Ones"
Neil would point him out, "that's Heavy man."

its going to be made of bronze. and be tall.

and Red - godda be Red

If it's bronze, it won't stay red.
When it tarnishes, it'll turn green.

`Red with a hint of Green Dog` does not apppeal. Hmmmmm

wow, red dog, you're surprisingly post-y for being "offline for a few days".

And if Red Dog has twins, named Uncle and Heavy, Heavy can always clear up misunderstandings by singing:

He ain't Heavy, he's my brother.


*Motley comes in from the balcony, looking desperate. He raises his hands at Red Dog and shouts:*

Stizzle stazzle Stinky Studmuffin!

*Bolts of lightning fly from his fingertips and arc across the room towards Red Dog.*

::Ducks just in time as the bolts pass overhead::
Jeez, that was close

*hits the deck, wondering how long red dog will be gone and how long the bolts will take to get to him*

Shouldn't they be bolts of heavyning,
rather than lightning? After all, this
is Uncle Heavy we're talking about .
