My middle name is Trouble
 
If you got to pick your middle name(s), what would it be?

orthodoc 08-31-2012 08:33 PM

If I could pick it, I think I'd still go with 'Bad Karma', or 'Worst Decision-Maker Ever', or 'Hahahaha - that's the universe laughing at you' ...

guess I'll stick with Observant ...

Or, maybe I'll go with Leeloominaï Lekatariba Lamina-Tchaï Ekbat De Sebat. Leeloo for short.

Koyaanisqatsi.

And every time I said it, I'd drone it like in the movie:

If I could choose? Musician. Thank you :)

Allow myself to introduce myself. Danger is my middle name.

Actually, my middle name is, "All that needs is..."

The new ending to that sentence is "to be plugged in." It used to be, "a coat of paint, a new thelman bushing, a valve job, re-cementing the lenses, an overhaul, a museum restoration..."

I like fixing things but I have a ten year project backlog.

infinite monkey 09-01-2012 09:51 PM

Danger is my bread and death is my butter...

You know the rest. ;)

My middle name is actually Maree, and I don't mind it. I never have to use it for anything, so it just kinda hangs around waiting for a form that requires a middle name.

If I could choose my middle name, I'd probably just not have one. What's the point anyway? It's just a waste of ink.

lumberjim 09-01-2012 11:26 PM

your face is a waste of ink.
and you spell your middle name rong

Aliantha 09-02-2012 04:16 AM

You're such a meany bo beany Jim. :sniff:

Undertoad 09-02-2012 07:55 AM

My comedy hero says you may choose your own middle name if one is not provided for you.

I like having a middle name. If I have to sign my initials I always insert it. I started this at 16 because there was someone in the office with the same initials (I worked in life assurance - yawn) and I just got to like the way it looked. I practiced my new initials before I got married, moreso than my signature, as I have a special scrawly way of writing them, whereas my sig is pretty much just a handwritten name.

And my middle name is the same as my Mum's, which makes me feel special (because she didn't use it up on my older sister).

So I guess I'll keep mine for now.
I had cool ones for the children I never had though.
I think it builds character to have an unusual middle name, without being outre.

Razzmatazz13 09-02-2012 10:10 PM

Life assurance?

Patient - "Am I dead?"
Sundae - "No deary, you're still talking so I assure you you're alive."
Patient - "Oh, thanks! I was worried there for a second."


When I was a kid my parents switched my middle name to Macaroni-and-Cheese, even when they yelled at me... so there's that.

Sundae 09-03-2012 06:23 AM

You insure against something that might happen.
You're going to die at some point, so it's assurance.

Trilby 09-03-2012 07:01 AM

I was brought up Catholic so naturally my middle name is Marie. Catholic girls always have a Mary or Marie or similar in their name. I knew an entire family whose girls names all started with Mary - MaryGrace, MaryCatherine, MaryBeyonce, you get the drift.

If I could pick my name I would pick Lilly. Because I would change my first name to Tiger and Tiger Lilly is a fabulously cool name even if Paula Yates and Michael Hutchence did it before.

Gotcha.
(I'm still picturing you doing my version, I think it would suit your cheery personality...y'know, convincing people they're not dead yet.)

Bri - my sister got landed with Mary.
They had an old-school priest when she was baptised, who was infamous locally for refusing to baptise a child Hazel. "That's not a name, that's a nut!"

Razz, I moved on from life assurance to being a barmaid. I performed a similar community service, going out collecting the glasses and leaning over the old boys.
"Well there Mr Jenkins, life in the old dog yet!"

I never went home sober on a Sunday afternoon; two different pubs, ten years apart but Sunday is always a morning treat while the wife has the roast in the oven. Make sure they can reach the cheese and crackers/ roast potatoes amd keep smiling.
"One for yourself darling?"
"Don't mind if I do."
