I just can't wrap my brain around it. Picture the Justice League with Superman, Batman, Skippy, Wonder Woman..... does that work for you?
This is a group that, for the first nine years of its existence, had a mascot named Snapper. It's sort of a grand, goofy comic book tradition.

Yeah, you can't always use names that people expect. I knew someone who had two cats named Bob and Fred.

My cat's name is PITA. Yes, that is an acronym, and it is an accurate description of her.

I love pets with nontraditional pet names. It's a wonderful thing.

A friend of mine had a dog, a cat, a lizard, a snake and a horned toad. They were all named "Fred".


Dec out.

ok, moving on, his name is intentionally supposed to be "sidekickish" before robin became a walking linkin park song, sidekicks used to be goofy and silly, it fits the theme. I rather like it. besides, jay is apparently "nice axe" where can you go from there?

did he also have a half-a-bee named eric?

No (and I have no idea what that's a reference to).

He just decided that the perfect name for anything was "Fred", way back in the '80s. He tried it on his wife, but she ended up smacking him so he stopped.

EDIT: Ah...surprising that a big Monty Python fan like me hasn't heard that before.


Dec out.

You just came to make a comment in the thread, that's all. You weren't expecting a kind of Spanish Inquisition!

Were they Fred collectively? I knew someone who had 3 cats each with distinctive names, but collectively they were all "Bob".

No, sadly, they were each Fred individually.

And I seem to have left Fred the turtle off the list.

EDIT: Mind you, he had other animals (another dog and cat and a wide variety of snakes) that weren't named Fred, but at least one of each type had to be.


Dec out.

I've heard that Kemal Ataturk had an entire menagerie called Abdul!

My roomie has a cat named Mr. No Head. The cat is female. (Irrelevantly the roomie is female as well.)

i rather like the name Skippy Sidekick. It's whimsical and unpretentious.
