Playing D&D, we inherited a haunted tavern that was home to a ghost named Lift (tbf, that’s the name we gave it since it could only communicate by lifting things). After we solved the mystery of Lift and allowed the spirit to pass on to the afterlife, we renamed the tavern The Lifted Spirits.
Slarty Bartfast?
I always wondered about that name. It seemed deliberate, but I didn’t know what he was going for. TIL

Douglas Adams wrote … that he wanted Slartibartfast’s name to sound very rude, but still actually be broadcastable. He therefore started with the name “Phartiphukborlz”…

“One thing I don’t think I explained in the script book was that I was also teasing the typist, Geoffrey [Perkins]'s secretary, because … she’d be typing out this long and extraordinary name which would be quite an effort to type and right at the beginning he says ‘My name is not important, and I’m not going to tell you what it is’. I was just being mean to Geoffrey’s secretary.”
That’s fantastic and I don’t doubt for a second he was being a smartass with his friend’s secretary. Hell, the first book was begun on a hillside in Amsterdam after plural bottles of wine and who knows what else. Makes perfect sense.
There are hills in Amsterdam? gasp

Also, I used to have a friend called BroDeal because he used to flip land. Then he became an Ayahuasca shamen and now people call him “the profit”
My friend lived in a house with 4 other guys and all but one was athletic and outdoorsy. The other guy was a WOW addicted Mexican who never left his room except to get food deliveries or cigarettes. The others called him The Brown Recluse.

We made a fake “stool sample” with a little dollhouse stool in a specimen cup for the lab this year with a fake specimen label and everything. The barcode was a rickroll, and we named the fake patient “Lee King.”
Here in dutchland this family by the name of ‘Modder’ (meaning mud) gave their baby girl the traditional Frisian name ‘Fokje’, which is female of ‘Fokke’ which is Frisian for Alphonse.
They obviously didn’t speak English as ‘Fokje Modder’ pronounces as ‘Fuck yer mother’.
I read “dutchland” as “Deutschland” (which means Germany)
Bond movies cringe at this thread.
What’s so wrong about Pussy Galore, Holly Goodhead, Honey Ryder, Dr. Molly Warmflash and Octopussy?
Nothing. Those have style. My point exactly.
