[net.trivia] Knickknames

Way back in your childhood someone has probably made a 
bad joke about your name ..... this is your chance to
get even.  The object of the game is to create a name
which COULD be legitimate, but at the same time provides
a second meaning.  For example, Billy Gote or Mac O'Roany.
These admittedly are only fair examples, the ideal example
is one that you stare at, read aloud, and then emit a
groan when the meaning hits you.  Some of these might be:
Cole Dindanoze      Cyril N. Mylk      Everett A. Sandwich
Frank Leemideer     Johann Saccold     Maurice Terbunnies
Vera Lonau          Wayne B. Fordafite

Surely you can top these! - only rule is that the first name
or initial must be legitimate.   Reply via mail and I will
post - along with some more samples from my collection!

WHY is there both a "net.trivia" and a "net.games.trivia" ????
I know there is possible a reason for both  net.audio & net.music,
and perhaps other pairs of groups as well, but there doesn't seem
to be any excuse for both of these trivia groups to exist. There
isn't anything different about their contents (at least there
shouldn't be. The only time there is is when someone only know
s (whoops) about one of them and posts something to that one and
not the other, or when someone has a personal preference. ).
Come on, now. Let's choose one and eliminate the other, OK?
