Welcome to Sunday Stealing. Here we will steal all types of questions from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent questions. Cheers to all of us thieves!
Impetua loved a good meme and enjoyed playing this one. Let’s see if you feel the same.
Sunday Stealing Asks Your Name. What Is Your …
1. ROCK STAR NAME (current pet and first car)? Example: If you have a dog named Max and your first car was a Chevy Malibu, your rock star name would be Max Malibu.
This is incredibly difficult in that I have never owned a car. Moreover, I don’t remember makes or models of cars, including when I was growing up. Likewise, I know the make of our current auto, but not the model. (There was a recent NYT Connections; the only Pontiac I could name was the Firebird.) My ex, when I was in college, had a Volvo 140 series, I think? So I’m going with Stormy Amazon, because the previous line of Volvos included the Amazon.
2. RACECAR DRIVER NAME (the first names of your grandfathers)?
I had three of them, so Clarence McKinley Raymond. McKinley was interested in racecars.
The Guiding Light
3. SOAP OPERA NAME (your middle name, town you were born in)?
Owen Binghamton, which is a REALLY good soap name! I used to watch the soaps with my maternal grandmother and her sister after school (Edge of Night, Secret Storm) after elementary school.
4. WITNESS PROTECTION PROGRAM NAME (your parents’ middle names)?
Elizabeth Harold? Harold Elizabeth?
Actually, long ago, certainly by high school, I developed my spy name, which was George N. Rowen. It contains most of the letters of Roger Owen Green. Also, the name I was most likely mistakenly called was George. There’s some visual similarity between George and Roger, which made me think that when trying to remember someone’s name, certain people go through a mental Rolodex.
5. ROMANCE AUTHOR NAME (favorite flower, favorite season/holiday)?
Lilac Thanksgiving. OBVIOUSLY, I need to start writing romance novels.
Also, I need some name songs:
Time Of The Season – The Zombies
The Name Game – Shirley Ellis
I Got A Name – Jim Croce
Thank you for playing! Please come back next week.
