I thought of that while I was on my motorcycle today and nearly plowed into an S.U.V. Because, to be honest, that name is one letter shy of a Jerry Springer episode. I mean, did the authors think that one over before they wrote it? And that got me thinking: What other hilarious names are there in DL?

Now I can't read Legends without thinking about that. He also said that Margaret hated the name Fistandantilus because it was hard to spell and she was the one doing the typing.

#4 rooks Feb 27, 2005 17:23:19	It was Mastersmate. I don't get it. Replace the second 'M' in that name with another letter. I know, it's crude and ridiculous, but for some reason, that struck me the other day. You do strange things on a few hours sleep...

I had to write down each possible combination and I'm still not getting it. Either I'm really thick or too literal. But since you say it's crude maybe it's for the best.
#6 zombiegleemax Feb 27, 2005 18:17:47	Ah, dear god. Show Mastermate = change a few letters and it becomes ****
#7 jonesy Feb 27, 2005 18:27:00	Oh. Hmm. So I was being way too literal. I just thought ********** as in "that eagle is really a master bater." (since bate means "to flap wings wildly") *The sound of Rooks dying of laughter* Edit: Why does the board censor that word when it's not written the way the other word is? :D Ze other edit: Weirdest tangent ever.
#8 rooks Feb 27, 2005 20:53:18	Dear God, what have I started? Davidw, you had me falling out of the chair! But really: What were they thinking with a name like that?
#9 true_blue Feb 28, 2005 0:21:35	I just refuse to believe someone couldn't get that. I'm not trying to be mean or anything like that, I just dont believe it. That would just be... amazing. I dont even know where to go from there... amazing.
