Do you know your "royal name"?
Just a bit of random silliness for Friday.

In the same tradition of the jokey ways one can figure out one's own "stripper name" or what have you, here's one where you can figure out your royal name.

You would either be Lord or Lady, followed by your grandfather's or grandmother's given name, followed by your first pet's name, and the street on which you grew up.

Hence, I would be Lord Walter Peanuts of M.

17. Yep. Emerson Ave in Bloomington, just off 82nd street.
I am old enough to remember when they did the big dig to build I-35 W. And man, was there a celebration when Southtown opened back in the day! My dad worked at a heavy equipment dealership that was where Harold Chevrolet is now. Gees, I am old....

In those days, 98th street was the end of the world until you hit Lakeville. :)

34. I love name generators!
Here's another one appropriate to this thread:

The European Aristocrat Name Generator

begets mine as "Prince Henry of Denmark"
I'll take that! :D



This one only has a female choice, so I put in Kali's "name" ;)

The Rather Spiffingly Aristocratic Generator De Nom

Kali = The Positively Loaded Head Honcharina Symphonia von Lancashire nicknamed "Big Mad Foot Fetish"

31. I really like this episode of Dr. Who.
Edited on Fri Apr-29-11 05:24 PM by RandomThoughts
One of my favorites, it also highlights the mistakes people make with giving weight to Nouns. And is on topics of Royal Names.



The Girl In the Fireplace
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vennL6I8hck


It is also why I know I will receive the beer and travel money and travel to many places.

"We will go on to different lands"

Much humility in such a song, and I do appreciate the poster.

It also explains why not to 'look for' what you find in your heart.



It is one of my favorite songs posted on this website.



Oh yea, gesture is a hand motion, some might see that differently

38. Side note, you have to ignore some of the interpretations of earring.
Edited on Fri Apr-29-11 06:20 PM by RandomThoughts
There are some bad ones on that also. And the story of Confucius and the Prince that would not listen.

Then see the bump on the head as egg tooth not about a ritual, and know that coffee shops is a good thing, like the gift to the genie not asking for something from them like in the X files episode. A really good episode with the best answer of asking for wishes for help, or helping that which can help.

And know the fire does not burn, and know the gesture is the hand motion, and that curly is the girl in the corner, and a few other things.

In that it is freedom.

And the oldest of thoughts, set them free and see if they come back, as a friend, not as a servant or slave, since only an equal can share friendship.
