>Anyone know of any really bizarre names people call their pets? It wasn't real bizarre, but did sound sort of funny--we had a friend who named his dog Cocaine. It was fun to stand around while he called it and watch the neighbors stare. My cats are Stinky, Tiny, Phantom, Hiril, and Elliot Slippers. Nothing bizarre there. >Especially bizarre pets? The most bizarre pets I knew were the snakes (especially cobras) a friend used to keep. But he didn't name them. He said it was silly to do so since snakes can't hear anyway. By the way, he found a great way to get rid of people. He was being plagued by door-to-door preachers of the Jehovah's Witness variety. He came to the door once wearing his 11-foot boa constrictor. He said that the man and woman were really nice, didn't even mention his necklace--but they NEVER returned. -- Sue Brezden Real World: Room 1B17 Net World: ihnp4!drutx!slb AT&T Information Systems 11900 North Pecos Westminster, Co. 80234 (303)538-3829 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your god may be dead, but mine aren't. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My sister had a siamese cat named Mother F*cker.
It got really embarassing when she called him in in the morning.sra@oddjob.UUCP (Scott R. Anderson) (09/13/85)

I knew someone who eventually named his cat "dammit". He had the
cat for about three weeks and couldn't decide what to name it.
Well, the cat was a bit frisky and after yelling "Dammit, get out
of there" or "No, dammit!", he finally decided to name the cat
dammit.
